Note:

Manuscript note: Bifolium from center of quire.
Bifolium: Consuelo Dutschke has suggested that the vertical ruling could be for a calendar. Linda Voigts notes that it resembles the lineation necessary for the grids for tables, mathematical or—more likely—astronomical-astrological tables. See John Murdoch, Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Album of Science) New York, 1984, Chapter 9, “Tabulae: Calculational and Stored Information.” Almanacs...
Bifolium: The feasts whose texts are included in this bifolium run from that of Saint Agatha (5 February) through Saint Peter ad vincula (1 August).
Incipit, Bifolium: f. 22v V. Venite ad me. In sancti petri ad vincula. Sicut.
Explicit, Bifolium: f. 21r Vidimus in civitate dei nostri in monte sancto eius alleluia.
