Summary
A Roman Breviary, with some Missal offices, consisting of:
A Calendar (fol. 1)
Miscellaneous pieces from the Missal and Manual (fol. 6)
The Psalter with canticles and litany (fol. 14)
'Officium de Corpore Christi editum a sancto Thoma de Aquino ... de mandato domini Vrbani pape iiii' (fol. 64v)
'Breuiarium per circuitum anni', the Proprium de Tempore (fol. 82)
Proprium Sanctorum (fol. 202v)
Commune Sanctorum (fol. 257)
Commune Sanctorum of a Missal, with similar matter (fol. 267)
Some supplementary masses (fol. 275)
The first hand occupies fols. 82-266: the second, which is slightly later, the rest: there are musical notes. The Calendar contains several local entries such as:
Stt. Tammarus (Jan. 16)
Barbatus in red (Feb. 19)
Bernard in red (Mar. 12)
Rosius (May 15)
'Translacio s. Martini de Monte Marsico' in red (June 26)
Reparata in red (Oct. 8)
Lupulus (Oct. 16)
These and other indications point to the district just north of Naples (Capua, Sessa, and Benevento). The translation of st. Martin was to Carinola (Calenum), but he was honoured there on Aug. 3 and Oct. 24, not June 26, and his office on fol. 226 is not conspicuous, st. Bernard bp. of Carinola was buried and honoured at Capua: he and st. Reparata, but not st. Martin, occur in the litany.
