Unidentified manuscripts

Cape Town, J. W. Jagger Library, University of Cape Town. This is a breviary from Flanders, incorrectly attributed to the Crosiers, as the Ordo Sanctae Crucis website says: Breviarium. Unnumbered manuscript. Dr. Henri van Rooijen refers to this manuscript in an article on the liturgy of the Crosiers. The library identifies this manuscript as a fifteenth century Dutch breviary. The library has not identified it as being from the Crosiers and this is verified by examining the calendar. Though it contains the feasts of St. Augustine, it also contains numerous Flemish saints that have never found their way into the Crosier calendar. Further it is missing a number of important feasts common to the Crosiers (e.g. Helena, Odilia and Corone domini).
