Binding: Housed in an oversize folder.
Origin: Written in northern France in the third quarter of the 15th century, possibly for the use of Amiens; although the calendar is primarily Parisian (with St. Charitine on 5 October and Dionysius in gold on 4 October, for example), it gives the Amiens date of 15 October for St. Wulfram, here called "Elfroy.
With 17th-century Arabic foliation in upper outer corner of the recto, numbering this leaf "17"; since this is the tenth leaf of the calendar, there must have been seven leaves preceding the calendar, perhaps blank flyleaves or added preliminary material.
Immediate source of acquisition: Acquired in 1988 from Bruce Ferrini.
