Morgan M.227 is the first of six Books that I transcribed in the reading room of the Morgan Library in New York. Although pictures are allowed for personal reference, I'm not allowed to post any of them. This is a northern-Italian book, thought to have been illustrated by Taddeo Crivelli, was made in Ferrara around 1461. The calendar is about 1/2 filled, and almost entirely undecorated. The "section" of the Roman month (Ides, Nones, Kalends, etc)i sindicated by a 2-letter abbreviation, stretched to fill several lines of the calendar, which gives the page an unusual look.
