From 1494 onwards Wynkyn de Worde printed a number of small sized Sarum Horce, many of 

 them only known from fragments. Our fragment agrees neither in size nor number of lines to 

 the page with any of those cited by the Rev. Mr. Hoskins in his authoritative work on the Horar 

 of Sarum use. The type is undoubtedly that of Wynkyn de Worde, consequently it must 

 have been printed prior to 1534. Fragment as it is it is all that survives to us of an edition oot 

 only of the greatest rarity but of much importance and value liturgically speaking.

This Calendar may possibly belong to the same edition of the Sarum Horse as the fragment above 

 described but there are slight variations in the type that seem to indicate it belongs to one of a 

 different date. In any case no other copy is known. It is a typical Sarum Calendar and among 

 the more interesting entries we may mention those of St. Oswald (translation and festival), St. 

 Edward (twice, translation in red), St. Richard of Chichester (twice), St. Adeline (twice), 

 I St. Thomas of Canterbury (translation in red), St. Wilfred (twice), St. Cuthbert (twice), St. 



Swithin, St. Edmond, St. John of Beverley, St. Guthlac, St. David, St. Erkenwolde, Bede St. 

 Wolfstan, St. Kenelme, St. Alban, St. Augustine (Anglorum Apostoli, in red), and St. 

 Fredeswide. The word "pape," wherever it occurs together with the translation of St. 

 Thomas of Canterbury scored through in ink in accordance with the decree of Henry VIII.
