This MS is also known as 'Missal of Saint-Vougay', as it came to the Departmental Archives of Quimper from the parish church of Saint-Vougay (Finistère), where it was kept as a holy relic. The Breton origin of this late eleventh-century liturgical codex (whose surviving folios have been much damaged by dampness) is not in doubt, and Deuffic, who has studied it in detail, has argued (mostly on the basis of the distribution of saints' names in the litanies) that it was written at Landévennec; it is therefore useful to cite his conclusions at length here: 'La composition du sanctoral et des litanies indiquent le scriptorium de Landévennec: la place de saint Corentin par rapport à saint Pol et celle de Guénolé en tête des non pontifes militent pour cette hypothèse. Le manuscrit a dû être composé pour une église du Léon, sans doute l'ancien prieuré de Locquénolé (arrondissement de Morlaix, canton de Taulé), le Lancolvett du Cartulaire de Landévennec, qui plus tard devint une enclave de Dol en pays de Léon' (Deuffic 1985a: 277; cf. also ILLB L4, p. 14, with detailed bibliography at p. 21).
