Table 3-3 addresses only the neo-Gregorian feasts in Pa903 that are not included
in the Gregorian or Gelasian sacramentaries. From the diocese of Tours, the Table
shows that the feasts of Barnabas and the Trinity only appear in the sacramentary of
Marmoutier and Pa903. From the diocese of Limoges, the feasts for Amand, Brictius,
and Elegius are found in Pa903 and only in Pa821, the sacramentary from an abbey of the
Limousin. 32 The other feasts appear in some combination of the four sources. The single
most prominent sacramentary source of concordances with Pa903 is the diocese of
Limoges, accounting for fourteen of the seventeen feasts. A total of seven feasts
(Amand, Aredius, Brictius, Elegius, Transfiguration, Martial, and Valerie) appear only in
the Limousin sacramentaries.
Other prominent feasts relating to the question of cathedral vs. monastic usage are
those associated with the leading saints of the Church. In the sanctoral of Pa903, Martin
and Benedict are each represented by two Masses (vigil and day), while Martial is
represented by only one Gregorian Mass with tropes. The Mass for the day of St. Martin
is Gregorian in AMS and Pa903, but the vigil Mass is neo-Gregorian. St. Benedict was
added to the Roman calendar in the tenth century after the AMS graduals were copied;
the Mass for St. Benedict in Pa903 is neo-Gregorian. 33
Saturninus, founding bishop of the Cathedral of Toulouse, is another major
regional saint given greater prominence in Pa903 than Martial of Limoges. This
treatment reinforces the codicological similarities of the graduals of Pa903 and
Harley4951 (Toulouse) mentioned above in the Solesmes variance analysis. The Masses
for Saturninus in Pa903, however, privilege the regional neo-Gregorian Mass for the saint
32 Leroquais is able only to locate this sacramentary (Pa821) to an abbey of the Limousin.

of the Mass, forthcoming publication. This Mass appears in Aquitanian graduals as received from
Beneventan sources.
