Kalendar. This is beautifully written in alternate lines of A SainteChapelle
blue and burnished gold, each month occupying a page. The Kalendar, c.
letters KL are inscribed in pink and blue on a square gold I26o"7°-
panel at the head of each month, but, curiously enough in a
book of this magnificence, there are no illustrations of the
Labours of the Months or of the Signs of the Zodiac. This
remark applies also to the Paris volume.
The varying importance of the feasts is usually indicated,
whether (1) Annuum festum, (2) Duplum, (3) Semiduplum,
(4) a feast of nine lessons, (5) of three lessons, or (6) a simple
Memoria.
(1) The feasts of the Nativity, Annunciation, Purifica-
tion and Assumption of the Virgin, the Nativity and Resur-
rection of Jesus Christ, Epiphany, the Invention and Exalta-
tion of the Cross, All Saints, and St. Denis (Oft. 9) are
marked Annuum festum, as well as three feasts specially
connected with the Sainte Chapelle, viz. Dedicatio sanEte
capelie Par. (April 26), Sollempnitas sanEte corone (Aug. 11)
and Pranslatio sacro-sanEtarum reliquiarum (Sept. 30).
(2) The oftaves of many of the above, the feasts of the
Circumcision, All Souls, the Apostles, the Innocents, of
Saints Michael, John the Baptist, Stephen, Martin, Nicholas,
Blase, Clement, Mary Magdalene, Thomas of Canterbury
and Marcellus of Paris (Nov. 3), and of the Invention of
St. Denis and his companions (April 22) are marked Duplum.
(3) The feasts of Saints Augustine, Laurence, Vincent,
Giles, Bernard, Katharine, Germanus of Paris (May 28),
William of Bourges (Jan. 10), and of the Invention of
St. Stephen are marked Semiduplum.
(4) Among the feasts of nine lessons it is only necessary
to mention, as having some Parisian significance, Genovefe
(Jan. 3 and de miraculo Nov. 26), Quiriaci (May 4), Landerici
(June 10), Leufredi (June 21), Trans. Eligii (June 25),
Trans. Thome (July 7), Turiani (July 13), Trans. Marcelli
(July 26), Anne matris b. Marie (July 28 instead of July 26),
Germani (of Auxerre, July 31), Justini (Aug. 8), Georgii et
Aurelii (Aug. 27), Lupi (Sept. 3), Francisci (Oft. 3 instead
of Oft. 4), Auree (Oft. 4), Jeronimi (Oft. 5 instead of
