After another 2 day visit to the Morgan Library, I am once again bulk-loading data. The first three books from this trip are:
- M.487 - An English MS from the 1490s, probably made for a small child as there are many more educational texts than usual. Saints are quite British, including David, Cedde, Richard and Cuthbert. Unusually St. Edward, King, on March 18 is in red. (DB Id: 233)
- M.116 - A French MS from Cambrai, made in the 1490s. It contains a fair selection of feasts unique to Cambrai, including Translation of St. Barbara on Feb 12, St. Waltrude on April 9 and St. Salvius (in red) on June 26th. It also contains both the feast, on August 11, and the Octave, on August 18 of St. Gaugericus of Cambrai. (DB Id: 229)
- M.1089 - An Italian MS, probably made in the Veneto around 1425-1450. The calendar is misbound, ff. 6-7 are first, then ff. 1-5 and 10-14, no folios are numbered 8-9. The calendar is sparsely populated, only 116 entries, and very red, more than 50% of the entries. There are a few entries that might indicate a Fransiscan influence and one unusual one, St. Daniel the Prophet listed on July 24, though his feast is July 21. This is unique, so far, in the corpus. (DB Id: 106)
