An Epistle-book (Epistolarium) for festivals throughout the year, written in the 15th cent. in the Netherlands
With some sequences, tracts, versicles, etc. An added service with hymn for st. Norbert (fol. lviiv) must be later than 1582, and may show that the book then belonged to a Præmonstratensian community. The binding bears some nearly erased arms.
