Notes

Data Source: Leiden University Libraries Digital Collections

  • Origin: Probably produced for the Canonesses Regular of St. Gertrudis in 's-Hertogenbosch. Based on a remark in the calendar at March 17:"Gertrudis virginis Solempne. in hac domo buscoducis".
  • Textual: Calendar contains saints venerated in the diocese of Liège: Gertrudis (17.3), Servatius (13.5), Lambertus (17.9). The Windesheim connection is based on the special attention for Augustine, in the ordinary (2r), the calendar (28.8), Litany of All Saints (first confessor, 70r) and Proper of Saints (148v).
  • Also described by BNM, MMDC and A.W. Byvanckgenootschap (database RKD, The Hague).
