B-Br 11396 (cat.nr. 624)

Graduale, 14th century, with younger additions, used by the premonstratensian Abbey of Tongerlo (the name of Siardus is on fol. 211v, and of Sulpitius on fol. 103r, pointing towards Tongerlo Abbey), but probably it was prepared for a premonstratensian house in the diocese of Liège; the miniature on fol 128r shows that it was prepared for a monastery with a special devotion for Laurentius; the praying premonstratensian in this miniature indicates that it was a male community.

In the front and back are medieval and post-medieval additions.
