Title:

BREVIARY: of Sarum Use, produced in England, in the diocese of Norwich; circa 1450. Latin. See F. Procter and C. Wordsworth, Breviarum ad usum insignis ecclesiae Sarum (1879-1886). The calendar includes an original entry for the dedication of Norwich Cathedral (24 Sept.). Additional calendar entries, for example the translation of St Etheldreda (17 Oct.) and the feast of St Withburga (17 March), indicate subsequent use in the diocese of Ely. A note (f. i verso, 19th cent.?) records this information and also a provenance of Culford Hall, co. Suff., seat of Earl Cornwallis. From the collection of the Rev. E. Dewick. Purchased of Alan G. Thomas, 14 March 1977.
