Description

The Misal tarraconense epitomizes the international gothic style which was popular in the late 14th and early 15th centuries in which stylistic models from the north of France were incorporated and reinterpreted through Catalan miniatures and other paintings. The manuscript is divided into four sections: the calendar; the proper of seasons, i.e. the list of the liturgical feasts of the year; the mass; and the listing of the feast days of the saints, known as the proper of saints.

El manuscrito se divide en cuatro secciones: el calendario; el propio de las estaciones, es decir, la lista de las fiestas litúrgicas del año; la misa; y el santoral, conocido como el propio de los santos.
