From ISU's Carthusian Breviary. Any idea who the saint is ? Stephen the protomartyr (stoned to death) or Antony (self-mortification)?

A family has handed over a 13th century book to the National Library of Norway. Conservator Chiara Palandri says its pages were made of calfskin parchment and that the cover appears to be hairy sealskin. The strap to hold the book together is thought to have been made from reindeer hide.
Eight pages bound in furry seal skin may be Norway's oldest book
The little book is so rare that the National Library of Norway is bringing in experts from around the world to learn more.

Sometimes your parchment is imperfect, but you use it anyway. This leaf has a large hole that was caused during the processing of the animal skin. Part of the hole was sewn up using thick thread, and then the scribe just wrote around it. (UPenn Ms. Codex 747) #medievalsky

Here's November in the Berchem Missal, the oldest premonstratensian liturgical (c. 1140). Around 1300, the Missal was transferred to the church of Berchem, which is dedicated to Willibrord. 'Patrone' was added in a later hand.
