I am working with a couple of Old Swedish manuscripts containing texts which are titled Speculum missae. Those are vernacular expositions of the different moments in the latin medieval mass, and they give very concrete descriptions of what the priest is doing followed by a biblical interpretation. Can anyone tell me more about this genre, give some references? It seems that these texts are common in lay manuscripts.
