B-Br 4860 (cat.nr. 644)

Processionale, diocese Utrecht, 16th century (or slightly older?). Hufnagelschrift on ink lines; text script: hybrida. Incomplete modern foliation (only fols 1-5, 10, 20, etc indicated) which is used here; medieval foliation in Roman numerals starting on fol 5 (and always 4 lower).

The prosa Euphonias to resp. Martinus abrahe (fol. 74v) points to Utrecht. In the litany for Rogation days (fol. 52v) a limited number of saints is mentioned: one archangel (Michael), one prophet (John Baptist ?), one apostle (Petrus), one martyr (Stephanus), one confessor (Martinus), one virgin (Agnes); further only acclamations of Christ and God (Sanctorumque omnium rex, Deus creator omnium etc.).
