    • Content Item
      • Text Language Latin (main text); Middle Dutch (explicit)
      • Title Processional
      • Content Description

        Mass for the Dead ('In die omnium fidelium animarum. Ad processionem: in exeundo ecclesiam').

        • Responsory 'Subvenite sancti dei occurrite angeli' (CantusID 007716), with verse 'Suscipiat te Christus' (CantusID 007716a).
        • Responsory 'Libera me domine de morte aeterna' (CantusID 007091), with responsory verses 'Dies illa dies irae' (CantusID 007091g), 'Tremens factus sum ego' (CantusID 007091x) and 'Quid ego miserrimus' (CantusID 007091ta).
        • Psalms, list of saints, collecta.
      • fol. [1]v-[4]r
      • Remarks

        Fragment ends with an explicit in Middle Dutch: 'Bidt voor hem ende naer zijn doot die dit ghenoteert heeft...' (fol. [4]v). It can therefore be assumed that this quire was the final quire in the original manuscript, with fol. [4]v being the final page.
