Note:

The text of the Hours of the Virgin is corrupt; it follows Besançon use in Matins, Lauds, Nones, Vespers, and Compline with slight variation; there are, however, only seven hours: Matins, Lauds, Vespers, and Compline have rubrics; Nones is complete according to Besançon use; the remaining three hours are combined into two hours which share antiphons, capitula, and prayers usually found...
In the calendar and Litany local Besançon saints predominate, including Maimbodus, Prothadius, Ferreolus and Ferrucius, Antidius, Claudius, Desideratus, and Agapitus
