Analysis of Content
[1a1r] [Calendarium.] Incipit: ‘Januarius habet dies xxxi, luna xxx . . .’
[2a1r] [Rubrica generalis.] Incipit: ‘[Q]uando per A. aduentus Domini inchoatur . . .’
[3a1r] [Psalterium.] Incipit: ‘In dominicis diebus ad matutinas. Inuitatorium. Adoremus Dominum qui fecit nos . . .’
[4a1r] [Proprium de tempore. Pars hiemalis.] Incipit: ‘Ad mandatum reuerendissimi patris et principis illustris domini Ruperti . . . Dominica prima aduentus Domini. Ad vesperas. Capitulum. ‘[E]cce dies uenient, dicit Dominus . . .’ [In vigilia Penthecostes] Missam autem pro defunctis qui vult privatim celebret. Sequitur de sanctis.’ The edition is stated to have been commissioned by Rupprecht, Duke of Bavaria, Bishop of Strasbourg. This appears to be a conflation of two Bishops of Strasbourg: Ruprecht von Pfalz-Simmern, Bishop (1440-78), and Albrecht von Bayern, Pfalzgraf bei Rhein, Bishop of Strasbourg (1479-1506).
