A Carmelite Ordinal, consisting of:

  1. 'Kalendarium ad normam eorum quæ acta fuerunt in Comitijs Generalibus reformatum' (fol. 1)
  2. 'Ordinale horarum canonicarum fratrum sacri ordinis semperque [sic] Virginis Marie de Monte Carmelo, extractum et excerptum de approbato Dominici Seppulchri sancte Hierosolimitane ecclesie ...' (fol. 9a)
  3. Litany, 'Officium defunctorum', 'Officium seu commemoratio Virginis Marie' (fol. 36v)
  4. Proprium de Tempore (fol. 43v)
  5. 'Officia propria de Sanctis' (fol. 133v)
  6. 'Commune Officium de Sanctis' (fol. 193v)

There are some musical notes. The colophon is torn, and only the following fragment is left '... [fi]eri fecit ... [sanc]ti Andre[e] ... atanus ... deuotio ... i conuen ... etc. Ad ... [Dei omnip]otentis... [Tho ?]mas Venetus.' The references in the calendar to the usages of Carmelite convents in Rome and Ravenna point to the latter place as a probable source of the volume.
