- Note:
- Title from rubricated heading on first leaf of text (leaf [2]). Formerly incorrectly transcribed as: In festo corpis xpi [christi] ad us[um] d[om]i[n]i.
Date suggested by style of handwriting and capital flourishes, and by calendar arrangement: i.e., ms. includes feasts of St. Dionysius and the Conception of the Virgin as single celebrations, first celebrated as such in 1481 and 1491, respectively; but lacks the observance of the feast of St. Servatius as a single celebration, a practice which dates from 1498, thus suggesting possible range of...
