What it is
The book of prayers said by the celebrant at mass, sent from Rome to Charlemagne and then supplemented to cover what Frankish use required.
Why it lasted
The direct ancestor of the Roman Missal, and the moment the liturgy of a single city became the liturgy of Western Europe.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
