^{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.

^{page 30 note 3} The later additions to this calendar are not taken into consideration.

^{page 30 note 4} Neglecting St. Augustine whose omission from T can hardly have been intentional.

^{page 31 note 1} Also St. Matthias (Feb. 24), probably an accidental omission from T.

^{page 39 note 1} Her feast on 23rd June is found in the calendars of the Bosworth Psalter, Arundell MSS. 60 and 155, but not her translation.
