Nothing in the <a href="/wiki/Liturgy" title="Liturgy">liturgy</a> was written, because nothing was fixed. Even after certain forms had become so stereotyped as to make already what we should call a more or less fixed liturgy, it does not seem that there was at first any idea that they should be written down. Habit and memory made the celebrant repeat more or less the same forms each Sunday; the people answered his prayers with the accustomed acclamations and responses – all without books. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Adrian_Fortescue" title="Adrian Fortescue">Adrian Fortescue</a>, in his article on liturgical books in the 1910 Catholic Encyclopedia, quotes one writer who argued that there were liturgical books back to the time of the <a href="/wiki/Apostolic_Fathers" title="Apostolic Fathers">Apostolic Fathers</a>, and another who claimed that there were no liturgical books even by the end of the fourth century.

A Sacramentary is not the same thing as a Missal. It is the book for the priest celebrating Mass. It contains all and only the prayers that he says. At that time he did not repeat at the altar the parts that were chanted by the ministers or choir, as became the custom in the period of the <a href="/wiki/Tridentine_Mass" title="Tridentine Mass">Tridentine Mass</a> Thus Sacramentaries contain no Readings, Introits, Graduals, Communion Antiphons and the like, but only the Collects, the Eucharistic Prayer with its Prefaces, all that is strictly the priest's part at Mass. On the other hand, they provide for occasions other than Mass, with prayers for use at ordinations and at the consecration of a church and altar, and many exorcisms, blessings, and consecrations that were later inserted in the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Pontifical" title="Roman Pontifical">Roman Pontifical</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Ritual" title="Roman Ritual">Roman Ritual</a>. Many Sacramentaries now extant are more or less fragmentary, and do not contain all of these elements. </p><p>Another name for the Sacramentary (in Latin <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Sacramentarium</i></span>) was <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Liber Sacramentorum</i></span> (Book of Sacraments), but "Sacrament" in this case means the Mass.<sup id="cite_ref-CathEnc_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CathEnc-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the same time as the Sacramentaries, books for the readers and choir were being arranged. Gradually the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Comes</i></span> or <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Liber Comicus</i></span>, a book that indicated the texts of the Bible to be read developed into the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Evangelarium</i></span> (Gospel Book) and <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Lectionarium</i></span> (Lectionary). The homilies of Fathers to be read were collected in <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Homilaria</i></span>, the Acts of the martyrs, read on their feasts, in <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Martyrologia</i></span>. The book of Psalms was written separately for singing, then arranged in the order in which the psalms were sung in the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Psalterium</i></span> (Psalter). The parts of the Mass sung by the choir (Introit, Gradual, Offertory, Communion) were arranged in the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Liber Antiphonarius</i></span> or <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Gradualis</i></span> (Antiphonary or Gradual), while the Antiphons and Responsories in the Office formed the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Liber Responsalis</i></span> (Responsory Book) or <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Antiphonarius Officii</i></span> (Antiphonary of the Office), as distinct from the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Antiphonarius Missae</i></span> (Antiphonary of the Mass). Hymns (in our sense) were introduced into the Roman Rite about the fifth or sixth century. Those of the Mass were written in the Gradual, those of the Divine Office at first in the Psalter or Antiphonary. But there were also separate collections of hymns, called <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Hymnaria</i></span>, and <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Libri Sequentiales</i></span> or <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Troponarii</i></span> containing the sequences and additions (farcing) to the Kyrie and Gloria, etc. Other services, the Sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Penance, Marriage, Extreme Unction), the Visitation of the Sick, the Burial Service, all manner of blessings, were written in a very loose collection of little books, predecessors of the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Ritual" title="Roman Ritual">Roman Ritual</a>, called by such names as <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Liber Agendorum</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Agenda</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Manuale</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Benedictionale</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Pastorale</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Sacerdotale</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Rituale</i></span>. </p><p>Finally there remained the <a href="/wiki/Rubric" title="Rubric">rubrics</a>, the directions not about what to say but what to do. This matter would be one of the latest to be written down. Long after the more or less complicated prayers had to be written and read, tradition would still be a sufficient guide for the actions. The books of prayers (Sacramentaries, Antiphonaries, etc.) contained a few words of direction for the most important and salient things to be done – elementary rubrics. For instance the Gregorian Sacramentary tells priests (as distinct from bishops) not to say the Gloria except on Easter Day; the celebrant chants the preface <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">excelsa voce</i></span> (in a loud voice), and so on. In time, however, the growing elaborateness of the papal functions, the more complicated ceremonial of the Roman Court, made it necessary to draw up rules of what custom and etiquette demanded. These rules are contained in the "<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Ordines</i></span>" – precursors of the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la"><a href="/wiki/C%C3%A6remoniale_Episcoporum" class="mw-redirect" title="Cæremoniale Episcoporum">Cæremoniale Episcoporum</a></i></span>. The first of them was probably drawn up about the year 770 in the reign of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Stephen_III" title="Pope Stephen III">Pope Stephen III</a> (768-772), but is founded on a similar "<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Ordo</i></span>" of the time of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Gregory_I" title="Pope Gregory I">Pope Gregory I</a> (590-604). The "<span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Ordines</i></span>" contain no prayers, except that, where necessary, the first words are given to indicate what is meant. They supplement the Sacramentary and choir-books with careful directions about the ritual.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The custom of <a href="/wiki/Low_Mass" title="Low Mass">Low Mass</a> changed the Sacramentary into a Missal. At Low Mass the celebrant had to supplement personally what was normally chanted by the deacon and subdeacon or sung by the choir. This then reacted upon <a href="/wiki/Solemn_Mass" title="Solemn Mass">High Mass</a>, so that here too the celebrant began to say himself in a low voice what was sung by some one else. For this purpose he needed texts that were not in the old Sacramentary. That book was therefore enlarged by the addition of Readings (Epistle and Gospel, etc.) and the chants of the choir (Introit, Gradual, etc.). So it becomes a <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Missale plenarium</i></span>, containing all the text of the Mass. Isolated cases of such Missals occur as early as the sixth century. By about the twelfth century they have completely replaced the old Sacramentaries. But Lectionaries and Graduals (with the music) are still written for the readers and choir. </p><p>In the same way, but rather later, compilations are made of the various books used for saying the Divine Office. Here too the same motive was at work. The Office was meant to be sung in choir. But there were isolated priests, small country churches without a choir, that could not afford the library of books required for saying it. For their convenience compendiums were made since the eleventh century. <a href="/wiki/Pope_Gregory_VII" title="Pope Gregory VII">Pope Gregory VII</a> (1073–1085) issued a compendium of this kind that became very popular. First we hear of <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Libri nocturnales</i></span> or <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">matutinales</i></span>, containing all the lessons and responses for Matins. To these are added later the antiphons and psalms, then the collects and all that is wanted for the other <a href="/wiki/Canonical_hours" title="Canonical hours">canonical hours</a> too. At the same time epitomes are made for people who recite the Office without the chant. In these the Psalter is often left out; the clergy are supposed to know it by heart. The antiphons, versicles, responsories, even the lessons are indicated only by their first words. The whole is really a kind of concise index to the Office, but sufficient for people who said it day after day and almost knew it by heart. Such little books are called by various names – <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Epitomata</i></span>, <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Portiforia</i></span>, and then especially <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Breviaria divini officii</i></span> (Abbreviations of the Divine Office). They were used mostly by priests on journeys. The parts of these Breviaries were filled up eventually so as to leave nothing to memory, but the convenient arrangement and the name have been kept. It is curious that the word Breviary, which originally meant only a handy epitome for use on journeys and such occasions, came to be the usual name for the Divine Office itself. A priest "said his breviary" that is, recited the canonical hours. </p><p>The development of the other books took place in much the same way. The Missals now contained only the Mass and a few morning services intimately connected with it. Daily Mass was the custom for every priest; there was no object in including all the rites used only by a bishop in each Missal. So these rites apart formed the Pontifical. The other non-Eucharistic elements of the old Sacramentary combined with the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">Libri Agendarum</i></span> to form the later Ritual.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
