Breviary, Use of Rome, written in A.D. 1473 at Venice, by Lazarus de Lamesa
'... Ordo Breuiarii Fratrum Minorum secundum consuetudinem Romane Curie': a calendar precedes. The Proprium de Tempore begins on fol. 9, the Psalter at fol. 239v, the Proprium de Sanctis at fol. 299, and the Commune Sanctorum, etc., at fol. 473v.
A ' Hymnarium per totum annum' begins on fol. 239, but is unfinished after a column and a half: the usual canticles, creeds, litany, etc., follow the Psalter at fol. 292, and at fol. 295 some regulations about Breviaries made by the Council of Bâle in 1435. At end:--' Ego frater Laçarus de Lamesa Venetiis ordinis Servorum sancte Marie Virginis scr[i]psi M° cccc° lxxiij. Die xvj. menssis Decembris.' There are several miniatures and many fine borders, etc., most delicately painted: see fols. 9, 55v, 140v, 164v, 171, 239v, 299v, 454v, 473v, and elsewhere.
