The litany may be compared with a much earlier thirteenth-century Psalter made for Premonstratensian Use sold on this site (textmanuscripts.com, TM 341), which also includes St. Augustine twice.

[ff. 33-82v, associated with the Mass and the Eucharist:]

f. 33, Incipiunt sacramenta misse, incipit, [Ant.] “Ne reminiscaris domine …”; [Ps. 83] “Quam dilecta tabernacula …, [Ps. 84] Benedixisti domine … [Ps. 85] Inclina domine …”; [Ps. 115] Credidi …”; followed by prayers, and f. 40v, Confessio ante missam, incipit, “Confiteor deo omnia peccata mea quecumque feci ab infancia mea …”;

The customary Antiphon and Psalms said by the priest in preparation for saying Mass.

ff. 43v-50v, Oratio deuotissima sancti ambrosii ante missam dicenda, incipt, “Summe sacerdos …”;

These are prayers to be said before Mass for each day of the week; they are traditionally attributed to St. Ambrose, but more likely are by the eleventh-century author, Jean de Fécamp (1028-1078). They were included in the Missal by Pius V; see Wilmart, 1932, pp. 106 ff., and 114 ff; online edition in Latin and English at: http://www.preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/AnteMissam/OrationesSAmb.html

Similar to the prayers said after Mass in the Miniature Prayer Book, Germany, c. 1400-50 [textmanuscripts.com, inventory number, TM 258], in Munich, Clm 3702, and Meditations, Schwaben 1468/9, and in San Marino California, Huntington Library, HM 1169, ff. 24v-29, Book of Hours, use of Langres, France, late fifteenth century.
