Graduale (sanctorale only), 15th-16th century. Hufnagelschrift on ink staves. The front flyleaf bears the remark Liber presens est ecclesie xenodochij maioris civitatis busciducensis (= Groot Gasthuis in 's Hertogenbosch).
The names of the cantores have been written on the flyleaves (perhaps the book was used in St.-Janskerk); several feasts and sequences display a special devotion for Franciscus; many saints point towards the diocese of Luik.
The sequentiary starts on fol. 117r with Sacrosancta hodierna festivitate. Nevertheless some sequences are written in the Graduale-part. Among the sequences:
![]() | Theodardus: fol. 144r: Urbs legia leta plaude |
![]() | Lambertus: fol. 145v: Christi laude predicemus |
