Summary
A Roman Breviary for Franciscan use made up out of two manuscripts. In the 13th cent. hand are:
A Proprium de Tempore (fol. 137) wanting some leaves at beginning
The end of a Psalter, consisting of a Litany at the end of an Office for the Dead (fol. 222)
'Breuiarium in festiuitatibus Sanctorum' (fol. 224v)
A Commune Sanctorum (fol. 274v) incomplete at end
This has been supplemented by a 14th cent. hand, which has contributed:
A Calendar (fol. 1: Franciscan, made such by erasures and additions)
Psalter with Canticles, Litany, etc. (fol. 8, wanting the first leaf)
Hymnal (fol. 108v)
Two more hands of about A.D. 1400 have supplied missing leaves and interfered with the Psalter (see fols. 7, 125, 277, etc.).
