Title
Necrology of St. Urban's Abbey
Description
The oldest necrology of St. Urban’s Abbey, in a 16th century
binding with wooden boards, has unfortunately survived only in
fragments. The first part (fol. 3-14v) consist of the abbey’s
necrology; the second part contains the incomplete Liber
anniversariorum benefactorum (only Jan. 1-12, May 1 - Sept. 1,
Sept. 4-7, Sept. 22 - Dec. 31) with supplements; the third part
comprises the Officium defunctorum, a litany and supplements with a
register of members of the abbey’s lay brotherhood. After the
dissolution of the monastery, this volume, along with the monastery
archives, became part of the state archives in 1848.
