ED notes: A prime source to art historians is the full publication of all incipits in a Book of Hours (early 16th cent.) in Zevenkerken (The Abbey of St.Adrews outside Bruges). See: R.A. Parmentier: "Een verlucht devotieboek van Gentsche herkomst", in: Jaarboek der Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten van Belgie, Vol.IV, 1943/44, pp.26-58 (with plenty of useful notes). R.A. Parmentier was, however, not aware of the location of the use, which could have given rise to the misunderstanding that there once was a "use of Ghent".(Ghent and Bruges were part of the diocese of Tournai in the 15th century).
Litanie #397-98. Ex Kalendarium 1497: 6/2 Amandi dx, 20/2 Eleutherii ep.cf.dx, 30/4 Eutropii dx, 18/7 Brunonis epi 9, 28/7 Anne vidue 3plex, 25/8 Trl.Eleutherii 3plex, 5/9 Bertini dx, 1/10 Piati m. 3plex+octa.9lec, 16/10 Marthe dx, 12/11 Livini dx, 14/12 Nichasii dx.

Variants: The collects are here added from the publication of Parmentier (see above). They are held in a more flourishing Latin compared to earlier sources (before 1500). A typical example of the late versions is the chapter at Vespers, where the Zevenkerken Ms. has: Beata et venerabilis es sacra virgo!
