he remained until at least 1480.35 The Sanctorale of N is signed and
dated on the Vigil of the Assumption (August 14) per me Jo(annem)
Swenonis Curatum nyborgen(sem) Anno Domini Mcdlxxiiij° (f.
282vb6-8).36 There are, however, codicological indications that some
of the volume, including a whole quire of parchment at the beginning,
was added in or after 1486, when Hans Svendsen was received into the
Bridgettine community. The initial quire of N contains a calendar (ff.
4—9) recording the Translation of St Knud Lavard on June 25 but not
his Passion on January 7.37 On the other hånd, the Temporale includes
at f. 108v the antiphon Ave martyr dux Danorum and the collect Deus
in cuius fide for the Passion (f. 108vl4—30, cf. edition §§ 1:5-6); this is
not a full text of the Passion Office,38 but a commemoration at Second
Vespers of the Epiphany followed by the instruction that the whole or-
der of service on January 7 should follow the Common of One Martyr
(Cetera de vno martire, f. 108v31). Much later in the codex, in a sup-
plementary segment following the signed and dated explicit of the
Sanctorale, is a lectionary excerpt consisting of six brief lessons and a
homily cue for Matins of the Translation of St Knud Lavard (f.
294val7-vb25).
The most recent liturgical scholarship interprets N as representing the
use of Odense, a use that is officially documented in the printed bre-
viaries surviving from the late fifteenth century. However, beginning on
f. 208r N has a number of what it States are Suffragia secundum Ecclesi-
am lunden(sem), and this led earlier scholars to believe that the bulk of
the codex was from a breviary of Lund, though documenting an older
use than the printed book of that diocese from 1517 (L; cf. section
