ED notes: The calendar is clearly for St.-Omer: 8/6 Transl. Audomari epi, 9/9 Depositio Audomari, 16/9 Octava, 17/10 Dedicatio sancti Audomari, 21/10 Inventio sci Audomari epi.
Later sources show a certain germanic influence at matins, the hymn Fit porta xpi at Lauds, and in the versicles to the chapters. See St.-Omer 1518.
Office of the Dead: KO p.106: 14-72-24 32-57-28 68-40-38 (= Order of the Hospitallers of St.John)
Variants: See below. The use in St.-Omer is basically the same as in Thérouanne, with the exception that the antiphon O admirabile occur both at Lauds and at prime.
Other sources: A few Books of Hours are recorded as "probably" St.-Omer, but they all have different variants, and lack other indications of a secure location.
