Reconstruction Summary

First leaf, with prayers that are later additions (ca. 1350?) in a Franciscan choir breviary of ca. 1260-1300. The content of this flyleaf, likely originally a blank leaf at the front of the book's calendar (ff. 2-7), does not fit cohesively with the rest of the codex. Prayers for SS Peter and Paul, Francis, Anthony of Padua, Louis of Toulouse, and Clare have been added in two columns in an early fourteenth-century Southern Textualis, while four other hands (early sixteeenth century?) have added further prayers for Francis and Bonaventure.
