Ms. codex.
Bibliographic record created by BPL staff based on description by Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis.
Origin: Written in Flanders in 1425 (see colophon on fol. 216v). The calendar includes numerous Flemish saints, among them Amandus (6 February, in red), Eleuterius, Bishop of Tournai (20 February), Leandrus, Bishop of Trier (27 February), Gertrude (17 March, spelled with Flemish orthography, "Gheertrudis"), Georgius (23 April, in red), Amalberga (10 July, in red), Gengulphus (12 October, a date associated with Tournai), and Winnocus, abbot of Wormhout (6 November). The date of 12 October for Gengulphus suggests a possible Tournai use.
