page 30 note 1 Such accidental omissions are by no means uncommon. A particularly obvious example occurs in the Hyde Abbey calendar in Bodleian Gough MS. liturg. 8, from which several feasts that should have been written in gold are wanting, but there are definite indications that they should have been inserted, and one name is left unfinished.
