Summary/Abstract: The editions of medieval liturgical manuscripts of known as the libri ordinarii indicate a growing interest in these sources due to their importance for historical research, both in the field of the liturgy itself and of the culture of the Middle Ages (music, art, architecture, customs). These books were created for the use of religious orders and dioceses, and their purpose was to normalize the local customs within the frame of the liturgical year. Libri ordinarii appeared in the middle of the 11th century, when the missals, breviaries and pontificals were already in use, and their development continued until the Council of Trent, which reformed the liturgy. The most productive time were the 13th and 14th centuries.
