About This Item
The book's handy but fragile format, a thick octavo that would have been easily portable for late fifteenth-century users, doubtless guaranteed a low survival rate. Indeed the few copies which have survived are often incomplete fragments, or in poor condition.
ISTC gives the following locations: France: Strasbourg BNU (imperfect, wanting Commune sanctorum); Germany: Bamberg SB; Berlin SB; Fulda HLB; Leipzig DB/Buch (fragment, missing); München BSB (2, imperfect); Stuttgart WLB (3); U.S.A: Washington DC, Washington Cathedral Library (this copy)
The present copy - the only copy in America - is complete, save for the first two leaves of the Calendar, and the blank leaf at the end. Goff Suppl. P1041a; H 13475*; C 4927; GW M36206; ISTC No.: ip01041500
