1 (ff. 1r–1v) List of masses for the dead

Rubric: In nomine domini Amen nomina defunctorum anno domini 1520

Note:

Klingneus, pp. 93–94, argues that strip 2-4 and 5-7 where originally joined together. Strips 2-4 seem to be the oldest. Strips 5-7 contain text only on one side. The following presents the first and last line of each strip (for a full transcription see Edition):

Strip 1r: ‘In nomine domini Amen nomina defunctorum anno domini 1520 herre lydeka aff cumbla [...] ffor lasse knwtzson aff soderby och hans’;

Strip 2r: ‘Pro istis est orandum primo dominus benedictus [...] ffor jøns siael aff hoosaby’;
