From Goethe University in Frankfurt comes Ms Lat Oct 110, a Use of Utrecht, Latin, book of hours from circa 1465. It's not the most beautiful of manuscripts, but has some interesting details. The calendar is nearly full, 350 days are populated. There are a number of Utrecht-specific saints, most obviously August 25 St. Gregory of Utrecht (see f.10v below), and there are also a unusual number of numeric saints. In addition to the usual ones, the Four Crowned Martyrs, Seven Sleepers, Seven Brothers and 11,000 Virgins, there are:
- February 21 - 79 Martyrs (details unknown)
- March 9 - 40 Martyrs of Armenia
- March 14 - 47 Martyrs (details unknown)
- April 16 - 18 Martyrs of Saragosa, though the MS has it as 17
- June 22 - 10,000 Martyrs
- October 15 - 300 Moors
- October 30 - 220 Martyrs (details unknown)
The obsession with numbers continues in the dating information, the calendar contains both Roman and Julian numbers for the dates, which is uncommon. Both of these are written in Hindu-Arabic numerals, which is, so far, unique. The golden numbers are still in Roman Numerals
