ff.1-12v° | KALENDARIUM (Dioc.Tournai?, sparcely filled-in. A general secular calendar, with a few saints revealing that it was composed in Flanders, it has only the mandatory holidays and a few more saints, apparently picked more or less at random, with a predominance of additional female saints. There is no concordance with the saints in the litany, and Saint Claude, included in the commemorations, is not found here.)
