Gellone Sacramentary

It is now in the manuscripts department of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, shelfmark Latin 12048.

Its origins are controversial, with some indications that it was copied in a double monastery of monks and nuns in the Diocese of Meaux for Old Cambrai Cathedral.

it stayed there until entering the library of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris in 1638.

Its texts sort into two parts: It was copied by two, three or four scribes working in the same scriptorium.

The verso of folio 1 shows the Virgin Mary holding a cross and a censor and that of folio 143 shows a crucifixion, perhaps the oldest image of the crucifixion in a Frankish manuscript.
