Notes

• Initial F with Saints Cornelius, Peter, and Augustine
   
• This initial begins the Common of one or several Apostles or Evangelists at Eastertide, 'Filie iherusalem venite et videte martirem cum corona qua coronavit eum dominus ...' (Daughters of Jereusalem, come and see the martyr with the crown with which the Lord has crowned him). Lewis E M 67:13-15 are from the same manuscript, which was made for a monastic house of the Order of the Holy Cross. The marginal decoration of the leaf shown here includes an image of St. Helena, the legendary founder of the Order of Holy Cross, holding the True Cross. The prominence of Cornelius on this page may further suggest that the manuscript was made for a house of the order in the town of Roermond, of which Cornelius was the patron saint.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues the liturgy for the Common of the Apostles or Evangelists at Eastertide.
   
• Initial Q with St. Peter
   
• This initial begins the antiphon for the vigil of the feast of Saints Peter and Paul (Jun. 29), 'Quem dicunt homines esse filium hominis ...' (Whom do men say that the son of man is).
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains part of the liturgy for second Vespers for the feast of Sts. John and Paul (June 26).
   
• Initial L with St. Augustine and a Monk from the Order of the Holy Cross
   
• This initial begins the first antiphon of first Vespers for the feast of St. Augustine (Aug. 28) 'Letare mater nostra iherusalem quia rex tuum dispensatorem strenuum ...' (Rejoice, Jerusalem our mother, for your king, dispenser of strength).
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues the liturgy for the feast of St. Augustine of Hippo, which begins on the front.
   
• Initial O with the Crucifixion
   
• This initial begins the antiphon of first Vespers for the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, 'O crux admirabilis evacuacio vulneris ...' Lewis E M 67:13-15 are from the same manuscript, which was made for a monastic house of the Order of the Holy Cross.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains the end of the liturgy for an unidentified feast preceding the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross.
   
• These cuttings can be dated to ca. 1510-1520.
