Editing Pope Gelasius I (section)

===''Gelasian Sacramentary''===
{{Main|Gelasian Sacramentary}}
In the [[Latin Catholic]] tradition, the pseudo ''Gelasian Sacramentary'' is in fact a liturgical book that was derived from Roman sources and transcribed, with inclusion of native Gallican liturgical elements, near [[Paris]] in the middle of the 8th century. While including the texts of some prayers that Gelasius composed, he was not a principal author or compiler of the book. The manuscript (Vatican, Vatican Library, Reg. lat. 316 + Paris, National Library, ms. lat. 7193, fol. 41–56) is actually titled the ''Liber sacramentorum Romanae ecclesiae'' (''Book of Sacraments of the Roman Church'').<ref>Translation is based on Louise Ropes Loomis, ''The Book of the Popes (''Liber pontificalis'') I'', New York, New York, USA, Columbia University Press, 1916, pp. 110-4</ref>

The attribution to Gelasius is premised in part at least on the chronicle of the [[Supreme Pontiff]]s that is denominated the ''Liber Pontificalis'', which states of Gelasius that he "''fecit etiam et sacramentorum praefationes et orationes cauto sermone et epistulas fidei delimato sermone multas''" ("he also made prefaces to the sacraments and prayers in careful language and many epistles in polished language regarding the faith").<ref>Translation is based on Louise Ropes Loomis, ''The Book of the Popes (''Liber pontificalis'') I'', New York, New York, USA, Columbia University Press, 1916, pp. 110-4</ref> An old tradition linked the book to Gelasius, apparently based on the ascription of [[Walafrid Strabo]] to him of what evidently is this book.
