Benedictional

A Benedictional is a book containing a collection of benedictions or blessings in use in the Roman Catholic Church, essentially collected from those in sacramentary. [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02465a.htm Benedictional] - Catholic Encyclopedia article]

The Anglo-Saxon Benedictional of St. Æthelwold is the most famous of the relatively infrequent illuminated manuscript examples, which are mostly Early Medieval.
