Part of a bifolium from a liturgical calendar re-used to make a laced-case binding for an early modern German book on martyrs printed in Strasbourg in 1558. What kind of manuscript the calendar originally belonged to is unclear, but it mentions the saint Attala of Strasbourg, indicating that it was produced, used, and cut up there.
The parchment was washed or scraped off, so that little text on the outer side is visible except for rubrics, which seem to have resisted the removal process. On the part of the fragment forming the back cover, the text of the verso side (i.e. the side of the leaf glued to the board) shines through.
