[184] _Bobbio_ .-- My learned friend, the Rev.J.P.Gaffney, of Clontarf, has in his possession a printed copy of the celebrated _Bobbio Missal_.
It is contained in a work entitled "MUSEUM ITALICUM, seu collectio Veterum Scriptorum ex Bibliothesis Italicis," eruta a D.J.Mabillon et D.M.Germain, presbyteris et monachis, Benedictinae, Cong.

S.Maure.

This work was published at Paris in 1687.

The original Missal was discovered by Mabillon two hundred years ago, and is at present preserved in the Ambrosian Library at Milan.

It dates from the seventh century, and is no doubt the identical Missal or Mass-book used by the saint.
