Notes: These leaves can be dated to ca. 1430-1440.
Notes: This initial begins the first antiphon of Lauds for the feast of Sts. John and Paul (June 26), "Paulus et Johannes dixerunt juliano nos unum deum colimus qui fecit celum et terram" (Paul and John said to Julian, "We worship the one God who made heaven and earth").

Lewis E M 65:1-78 were once thought to have come from a single manuscript associated with the Cistercian monastery at Zwettl in Austria. It has been determined, however, that the leaves are from a number of separate manuscripts and were likely produced by a team of scribes and artists at the scriptorium of the Benedictine monastery at Melk.
