A Manual for the use of the Benedictines of St. George at Venice, consisting of:

'Ordo ad Cathecuminum faciendum' (fol. 1)
'Ordo ad baptizandum' (fol. 6v)
'... ad communicandum infirmum' (fol. 8)
'... ad unguendum infirmum' (fol. 9)
'Ordo commendationis anime' (fol. 13v)
Benedictions (foll. 33, 40)
'Ordo ad sponsam benedicendam' (fol. 37)
'Ordo purificationis mulieris post partum' (fol. 39)
Penitential Psalms with Litany (fol. 46v)
'Absolutio omnium fratrum nostrorum in articulo mortis' (fol. 63, slightly later addition)
'Incipit ordo & modus ostendendi reliquias' (an addition, relating to relics of Stt. Lucia, James, Cosmas and Damianus, Eustachius, George, Paul: fol. 65)

This combined with the (added) 'Offitium funerale secundum Veñ' (fol. 65v) and St. Benedict prominent in the Litany (fol. 14v) seems to point to St. George's at Venice. Some parts have musical notes.
