Morgan Library W.29 is a small, pretty book of hours from somewhere in northern Italy, perhaps Ferrara, as per the catalogue. The calendar is not very well done, there are only about 120 days populated, and the scribe did not use the ruling from the date info columns, the left with the dominical letters and the roman dates, when writing in the saints, so they do not align directly with the dates. This amplifies the large number that have ended up on the wrong date, for example the entire second 1/2 of July is offset by one day. There are also a few spurious entries, for example a "Vigilia" floating above the "Circucisio dni" entry on Jan 1.
