Vers 140-1450

Anciens Pays-Bas ou Allemagne (Rhénanie du Nord-Westphalie)

f. i (front flyleaf), incipit “Oüt syn de clenodia tho synte Brandanes Altar horen … Item eynem sulueren kelck und eyne sulueren patene und eyn sulueren crüce … Item eyn misboeck op perghemynte ghescreuen dat is dyt kieghen wordige …Ego notarius … vidi et aspexi anno domini 1509 … Bernardus Tor Schuren, notarios”;

Inventory of the treasury (de clenodia, literally” jewels”) of St. Brendan's Altar. The last lines (including the date and signature) are copied in a more cursive script, suggesting that the list itself may be somewhat earlier in date; in addition to numerous liturgical vessels and implements, the inventory includes at least two books. The first, the “misboek” is probably this manuscript. The list is certainly unpublished, and deserves careful study. For another (unrelated) document, dated 1532, witnessed by Bernardus tor Schuren, see Online Resources, below.

f. 1rv, Single leaf from a calendar, January-April, among the saints included are Maurus (15 January), Agnes (21 January), with octave, Blaise, in red (3 February), Scholastica (10 Februrary), Longinus (15 March), Cyriacus (16 March), Gertrude of Nivelles (17 March), and Benedict (21 March);

Likely added, since there is an off-set from the initial on the present f. 2 on the verso of the front flyleaf; it may originally have been included in another location within this volume (although calendars in Missals are generally at the beginning) or it may be from a companion volume, since it appears to share a common origin with the rest of the manuscript (it is contemporary with the main manuscript and copied in a very similar script).

ff. 2-55, Temporal, Advent-Easter Vigil, now lacking numerous leaves (folios cited in Arabic numerals refer to the continuous modern foliation; Roman numerals are references to the original foliation):

ff. 2-4 (originally I-III), First Sunday in Advent to the fourth feria after the Second Sunday;

ff. 6-9 (IX–XII) beginning imperfectly in the fourth Sunday in Advent, continuing with the fourth and sixth feria before the Vigil of the Nativity;

The Good Friday collects include the usual – and from our modern perspective, controversial –prayers for the “perfidious” Jews; note the liturgical direction f. 47v, Finita passione sacerdos incipiat orationes que secuntur cum genu flectionibus per singulas nisi tantum pro iudeis nec in conclusiones orationis pro iudeis dicatur finem amen. See the discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday_Prayer_for_the_Jews.
