A Roman Diurnal, Written in the 15th century in Italy
A Roman Diurnal, containing:
- A Calendar (fol. 1, wanting Jan.-Feb.)
- Proprium de Tempore, pars hiemalis (fol. 6)
- Proprium Sanctorum, pars hiemalis (fol. 145)
- Hours of the Virgin, in outline (fol. 198)
- Proprium de Tempore, pars aestivalis (fol. 213)
- Proprium Sanctorum, pars aestivalis (fol. 305)
- Commune Sanctorum (fol. 439)
Some leaves appear to be wanting, as after fols. 144, 197, 212, 304. Each verso is written from bottom to top, and each leaf is bound by the top, not side, and bevelled at the corners: the metal frame of the back of the binding (which is old) having a loop, so that the volume could be hung from the wearer's girdle.
