Calendar
Texts and Images
The Calendar includes all three feast days (22 January, 24 April and 6 June) of St Vincent whose relics were at the Premonstratensian monastery of St Vincent in Breslau. The twelve double-page openings, each dedicated to a month in the Calendar, are framed within twin arches with pillars supported by beasts and hybrids. Miniatures beneath the arches show Labours of the Month, Zodiac signs and scenes illustrating clauses of the Apostles’ Creed. Religious feasts or busts of saints are depicted in the side borders beside their mention in the Calendar.
