Description

Attributed by Ker and Piper as having been written in England for Bridgettine use (men or women) at Syon Abbey in c 1423 or 1424. Yardley and Mann suggest that the later addition of Bridgettine feast days to the calendar indicate that it was not originally written for Syon Abbey, but that it was part of its medieval library. Hogg suggests that the manuscript was used by a priest associated with Syon Abbey in middle of the 15th century.
