A Franciscan Breviary 'secundum ritum ac formam Romane Curie', consisting of:

  1. A Calendar and Rubrics (fol. 24b)
  2. Proprium de Tempore (foll, 1, 42c, 379, imperfect)
  3. Psalter with Canticles (fol. 158)
  4. 'Ympni ordine dicendi ... secundum Romanam Curiam' (fol. 211e)
  5. 'Proprium Sanctorum' (fol. 222)
  6. 'Commune Sanctorum', and 'Ordo officii ad benedicendum mensam' or 'Benedictiones mense' (fol. 376)

The order being disturbed as the volume is at present bound. The Calendar is Roman, not Franciscan: and the entries of St. Zeno on Apr. 12, May 21, and Dec. 8 in red prove a connexion with Verona.
