The Missal of Silos is the oldest known document on paper (as opposed to parchment) created in the Christian West; it dates to the 11th century AD.[1] The manuscript was written on quarto; it comprises 157 folios, of which folios 1 to 37 are on paper and the rest are on parchment.[2] Strictly speaking it is not exactly a missal: it has been described as a breviary-missal.[3] It can also be described as a Liber Mysticus or Breviarum gothicum.

The missal is held in the library of the Monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos near Burgos, Spain as Codex 6. It is one of a number of liturgical manuscripts of the Mozarabic rite which have been preserved in the Silos library, despite the suppression of the rite by Pope Gregory VII in 1089. Though named after Silos, it was not made at scriptorium there, but at the monastery of Santa María la Real of Nájera. Nájera was in Christian territory at the time the document was created, but the paper for the missal is believed to have been manufactured in the Islamic world, possibly Islamic Spain.

Media interest

In 2013 the manuscript was inspected by Umberto Eco, who had referred to Silos in his 1980 novel The Name of the Rose.[3] Eco's visit was widely reported in the Spanish press.
