 Odense Syddansk Universitetsbibliotek Herlufsholm 186.7 Calendar Strasbourg Back cover v Latin Saints and feasts for the month of December The legible text on the back cover mentions the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, as well as those of the virgin saints Attala and Barbara, meaning that the fragmented leaf contained the month of December. Their feast days are the 8th (Immaculate Conception), 3rd (Attala), and 4th of December (Barbara). The side of the leaf glued to the cover lists Attala and Barbara, whereas the Immaculate Conception is on the outer side. Parchment 1 partial bifolium171 x 451 mm

The text on the outward-facing side of the cover was washed or scraped off after the binding was put together, since the text on the turn ins is undamaged. The red ink of some rubrics withstood the removal process. On the back cover, the text on the other side of the parchment (i.e. the side that is glued to the board) shines through. 

Main text in Northern textualis formata, with more recent notes in a cursive hand below the calendar entries.

 Red rubrics. The mention of the locally worshipped saint Attala (679-741) places the fragment in Strasbourg, where she was abbess of the Benedictine convent of St Stephen's.  The original codex the fragment belonged to was probably cut up and reused locally by a Strasbourg bookbinder/stationer, since the host volume was printed in Strasbourg as well.  Description by: Charlotte Epple, Fragmentarium, 2026 Holck, Jakob Povl.
