Missale Francorum

Ok kiddo, so a missale francorum is a really old book that was used by people a long, long time ago who wanted to have special prayers and songs during church.

Back in the old days, people spoke a different language called Latin, so the missale francorum was written in Latin too. This book had all the prayers and songs that the people needed to know in order to have a special mass in their church.

Sometimes, people wanted to have an extra special mass, called a missa cantata, where they sang a lot more and everything was really fancy. The missale francorum also had instructions on how to have a missa cantata.

Overall, the missale francorum was a really important book for people a long time ago who wanted to worship God in a special way during their church services.
