NL-Hs 184 C 3

Noted breviary, secular cursus. Hufnagelschrift on black staves, circa late 15th century. Wüstefeld (p. 17, note 34; p. 88, note 221) incorrectly suggests that it has belonged to the Laurentiuskerk in Alkmaar. However, the possessor's mark on fol. 1v points towards the Laurentiuskerk in Heemskerk (as is also stated in Heemskerk onderweg, p. 217).

On the front flyleaf (fol. 1v):
Item dit buuck hoert toe die heylighe kerck
Item dit buuck hoert toe die hijlighe kerck
van eems kerck (?) Dye dit vint
betaelt ??
Item dit buuck hoert toe die
A similar note is also on fol. 198r and on fol. 222v.
