A Roman Diurnal for Franciscan use, containing:

  1. A Calendar and Tables (fol. 1)
  2. Litany (fol. 8v)
  3. Psalter with Canticles, etc., and (added) the Office for the Dead (fol. 13)
  4. Hymnal (fol. 157)
  5. 'Officium diurnum secundum ordinem sancte Romane ecclesie', Proprium de Tempore (fol. 180)
  6. Proprium ('festiuitates') Sanctorum (fol. 252)
  7. Commune Sanctorum (fol. 294v) with Prayers, etc., imperfect at end

The Calendar and Tables are perhaps of the date 1228 (see fol. 7), but altered and added to, to suit the rest of the volume, which belongs to the next century. On Aug. 2 is 'Dedicatio ecclesie sancte Marie de Angelis', an addition.
