ON, pp. 343n and 344n. The sequence indicated for St. Hallvard is
‘Mundi etate’ (AH 8, no. 113), that for St. Dunstan, ‘Hodierna
resonent’ (AH 53, no. 142), as prescribed by the ON.
Reykjavik Lbs. fragm. 20 (see J. Benediktsson, p. 6) is a quire of
eight leaves from a missal written c. 1400. All the leaves are more or
less damaged. The written space measures 16x12 cm, with 25 long
lines to the page. The text is the Sanctorale from the postcommunion
of Sts. Vitus et Modestus, 15 June, to the epistle of the Mass of Sts.
Peter and Paul, 29 June, corresponding to Missale Nidrosiense 1519,
pp. 426-34, with one exception. For the feast infra octauam Iohannis
Baptiste, our fragment (f. 3v, 11. 12-14) uses the Gelasian secret (GeV
898; Bruylants 2, 1180*) for the Vigilia:
[Munera po]puli tui domine placatus (propiciatus GeV) intende et beati
baptiste iohannis cuius nos tribuis celebrare (preire GeV) solempnia fac
gaudere suffragijs.
See Plate 34, with reproduction of f. (3)v.
Reykjavik Lbs. fragm. 25 (see J. Benediktsson, p. 7) is a bifolium of
non-consecutive leaves from a fourteenth-century missal or sacramen-
tary; only prayer texts occur. The written space measures 19,5x15 cm,
and there are 18 long lines to the page. The rubrics and initials are
written in red. In the lower margin of f. (l)v is a note, added in 1902,
stating that this fragment formerly served as a cover of the register of
the Church of Hof in the Ålptafjoråur (S. Mul.), diocese of Skålholt,
for the years 1825-35. Books are not mentioned in the charters of this
church in pre-Reformation time. A charter of 1553 gives only the
number of books, 28 all counted (DI 12, pp. 645-46) - a statement
which recurs in the charter of 1576 (DI 15, p. 695). The fragment
contains part of the Sanctorale of June and July. See Plate 35.
F. (1) begins imperfectly in the collect of Sts. Vitus et Modestus, 15
June, and continues with St. Botulphus, 17 June, Sts. Marcus et Mar-
cellianus, 18 June, and the beginning of the collect of Sts. Gervasius et
Prothasius, 19 June.
F. (2) begins imperfectly in the postcommunion of the Mass in
commemoration of St. Peter which follows that of St. Paul, 30 June,
[‘Letificet nos domine munus] oblatum’ (collect ‘Deus qui beato Petro’,
as in ON, p. 360; the whole Mass = Bruylants 1, no. 315). The
rubric which follows is very dark: In octaua beati iohannis baptiste
