medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Meg,
I am working on funerary and commemorative liturgy, so have been ignoring the sanctoral cycle for the most part and can't help you personally.
For Reichenau, there is _Reichenau Reconsidered_ by Dodwell and Turner(1965). It is a study of the sanctoral cycles of 10th and 11th century sacramentaries attributed to Reichenau. Further results of this sort are also found in D. H. Turner, "The 'Reichenau' Sacramentaries at Zürich and Oxford," Rev. bénéd. 75(1965): 240-276. In the article Turner promises to do similar work on the sacramentaries of St. Gall - there are 5 eleventh century ones held at the Stiftsbibliothek. As far as I can tell, he has not published any results for that study.
A caveat: Dodwell and Turner use the sanctoral evidence to argue that most of the Reichenau sacramentaries are from somewhere else. This thesis has not been widely accepted. Nevertheless, they do discuss the sanctoral cycles of the sacramentaries extensively, which may be of some use to you.
I haven't looked at it extensively, but Arno Borst's _Die karolingische Kalenderreform_ MGH Schriften 46 (Hannover, 1998) includes the St. Gall sacramentaries and might be of use to you. Also, of course, there is Deshusses' edition of the _Sacramentaire Grégorien_ which includes the full edition of the three ninth century sacramentaries assigned to Reichenau and/or St. Gall and Johannes Duft's study of the cult of Gall at St. Gall.
Hope this helps,
Julian

A number of eleventh century sacramentaries include a section of material for use by the priest to prepare for mass. A few of these attribute this material to Ambrose, but there is more than one version among the manuscripts. I shall chase up the Ambrose reference among his opera omnia, but I was wondering if there has been any work done on this material in general. I am particularly interested in the eleventh century or earlier.
