- Description
- Manuscript codex. Kalendar ff. 1-12b. The calendar does not include entries for every day of the year, and is approximately half full. Entries in red include St. Agnes, Landoald, Pancras, Boniface, Odulf, Martin, Laurence, Lambert, Remigius and Bavo, Gereon, Willibrord, Lebuin, Nicholas, Thomas, and Steven. St. Donatian was added in a later hand, suggesting the book was not originally made for Bruges usage. Saints such as Agnes, Odulf, Lebuin, and Willibrord point to the use of Utrecht (Lackaff, 1997, p. 3). Names of the months and saints are in a mix of Latin and Dutch. On the versos of January and December are two computation circles, one for finding the Dominical letters in the lunar month of 28 days (f. 1a), and the other for computing the golden number (f. 12r). Each figure includes on its outer, upper right edge the numerals m cccc lxxx iiij dating the ms to 1484 (Lackaff, 1997, p. 3) -- Hours of the Blessed Virgin, ff. 13-52.
