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.^[1]

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