Description:
Calendar: heading in red uncials 'Signum Capri mens. Ian. habet dies xxxi. Lunam xxx'. The present folio lists the feast days for January. In the lower margin in red uncials is written ' Nox horarum xvi. Dies horarum viii'. The calendar is in black and red, and in a smaller hand than the rest of the book; the feasts are in Carolingian minuscule, with the greater feasts in red uncials. There is no grading of feasts. There are copious entries of Obits, etc., made in the 11th and 12th centuries: several hands appear, but one has done the bulk of the work.
