ENSubject of this article is important from the historical and cultural points of view. The history of the missal is reviewed from its origins in the oldest Catholic Mass book, the Sacramentary, until the advent of the Missale Romanum common to the whole Roman Catholic Church, its formation, development and the principal constituent parts. The Missals preserved at the Rare Books and Manuscripts Department are arranged in the following thematic groups: Missale Romanum (missals published for the purposes of separate religious Orders and pontiffs), funeral missals, Missae propriae (missal annexes intended for different dioceses, mostly for the Kingdom of Poland, sometimes Sweden). The most valuable and significant editions (the oldest books preserved within the collection are the 1485 Basel Missal and funeral missals printed in Vilnius 1685-1757, etc.) are discussed. More than half of the missals have provenances that show their former owners and describe the books themselves. Most of the books came to the Library from Vilnius Theological Seminary and Vilnius Cathedral. The article also provides a bibliographical list of missals from the Rare Books and Manuscripts Department's collections. The missals are arranged by thematic groups, and within each group, they are listed in a chronological order.
