At the end of the Middle Ages, the Dominican liturgy was the official liturgy for this
Finnish diocese. This
Missal, that is, a book containing all the prayers required
for the celebration of Mass throughout the year, had to be especially commissioned in
Lübeck.
This facsimile of an early printed book has been included in this exhibit as a reminder
that printing was an invention of the Middle Ages.
