    • Remarks

      The purpose of this list is not entirely clear. While the feasts are listed in chronological order, they often don't follow on consecutive days, so this list is not a calendar.

History

Remarks

The fragments come from the same binding as HS.2582/395 and HS.2582/397. The fragments were originally attached to each other by binding cords. 

Host Volume

Remarks

The host volume is unidentified but is presumably from Ghent University Library.
