Le scritture, in IL MESSALE ROSSELLI. Torino, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, D.I.21, Atti della Giornata di studi interdisciplinari,Torino, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, 23 novembre 2017

The article is a first aproach to the study of the writings present in the Rosselli Missal, on which, at the current state of research, an updated palaeographic study is lacking. With the exeption of the examination of the liminal and secondary scriptures (ex libris, captions, references at the end of the booklet), the writing of the liturgical text is examined: a gothic book script in its most calligraphic form, the littera textualis formata, of the genre defined textus quadratus for the very refined diamond-shaped serif at the headline and baseline characterizes it together with other details. The writing of the codex is compared with those of two other contemporary liturgical codices from the same Avignon area, codices in which the same artist responsible for the secondary decoration of the Missal of Turin, Bernard de Toulouse, worked: ms. 28 of the Bibliothèque municipale of Avignon, an Ordo epistolarum written using the same textus quadratus, and ms. 133 from the same library, a missal for which another very refined gothic book script, the so called Italian rotunda, was used.
