This paper is a continuation of the paper published in the previous volume of Acta (see Ivanov 2012b), and here I will continue listing the MSS containing the text of the twelve Fridays legend.
But since the study of the manuscript tradition of the Legend is a work in progress, and since new material continuously comes to light, first of all I have to return to the published Part I to offer some amendments and additions. In what follows I shall present corrigenda for the items already discussed, referring to the number they had been given in the Part I.
Corrigenda to the Part I:
1. MS Vat.lat. 1349, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana
For the MS description see Kuttner, Elze 1986: 109, who noted that the Clementine entry was added in a late 11th cent. hand.
23. The reference to the MS Harley 1820 in Flower (1926: 496) is actually a slip of the pen, as he obviously has meant MS Harley 1280 (CHM I: 646).
24. MS Harley 1294, British Library
See also CHM I: 650.

31. MS Reg.lat. 399, Biblioteca apostolica Vaticana
The MS was described by A. Wilmart (1945: 459); inc. and expl. show that here we have a contamination of the Fridays list and the reasons for fasting. However, the text has been crossed out and is only partially legible.

71. The Ms. O. XLII of the same collection (1st half of the 15th cent.) contains, inter alia, statutes of the archbishop of Prague, treatises by Thomas Hibernicus and Jacobus de Lausanne, Mammotractus, collectanea from patristic sources and various liturgical and homiletic texts, see Patera, Podlaha 1922: 510-513. The Legend is found on fol. 75v.
72.* The Ms Pal. 763, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence
(year 1466), was described by Gentile (1890: 293-295). It contains medical recipes, verses on the correspondence between the signs of the zodiac and parts of the human body, other astrological topics, the Book of Sidrach, some devotional verses in Italian, and the Legend on fol. 160v. This text was recently published by Britta Olrik Frederiksen (2008: 187-8).
73.* In the same paper (Frederiksen 2008: 186), the author edited the Latin text of the Legend from MS R II.64 fol. 392va, Bibliotheca Batthyanyana, Alba Iulia (Roumania), written in 1427, where it is found surrounded by medical recipes and other brief notes.
74. The Ms II.II.67, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence,
is a volume written in many hands of different (13th-15th) centuries. Our text is found in the portion written by a 15th century hand on fol. 159r-v. On the MS see Bertolini 1988: 459-469.
75. In the MS British Library, Royal 17 A XVI (year 1420) there is a calendar, other astronomical and computistical matters, charms, and mnemonic verses. On the fly-leaves many additions
were written down in later hands of the 15th cent., among others reasons for fasting on Fridays on fol. 3.
76. The Legend text is added by a hand of 14th-15th cent. On fol. 1v of the MS lat. 2509, Bibliotheque Nationale de France
(12th cent.), which contains Expositio in Psalmos by Bruno Signiensis. On the MS see Catalogue general 1940: 495.
Thus, so far in my list there are 76 MSS containing the Latin text of the Legend, including 17 texts published. They range from the 11th till 16th ccent., and, as has been already noted, there are several types of texts with which the Legend is more likely to occur. To the juridical and disciplinary texts in the MSS №№ 1, 3, 9, 10, 13, 14, 31, 51, 52 now we can add those in the MSS 61 and 70. The list of the MSS containing astronomical texts, calendars, dies Egyptiaca, Easter tables and other computistical matter (№ № 4, 5, 15, 29, 32,
33, 40, 41, 44, 45, 49) may now be broadened with the MSS 57, 62,
69, 72, and 75. The co-occurrence with medical texts (as in the MSS № № 26, 28, 32, 36, 40, 48) is also attested in the MSS 72 and 73.
With regard to the position of the text in the manuscript, the text is often written on the first or the last page of the MS, or on the flyleaf inserted later, or written in a later hand in the MSS №№ 56, 61,
64, 70, 75, and 76. In the MS № 31 the text is crossed out just as in the MS № 19.
Part II
1. French
1.* The Legend in the form of dignatio diei Veneris occurs on fol. 60r at the end of the MS 1098 Nouvelles Acquisitions fran^aises, Bibliotheque Nationale de France (middle 13th cent.) which contains Vita of St Denis. On the MS see Omont 1899: 144-5, Delisle 1877. The text was edited by Suchier (1910: 584).
2.* The Legend text is found on fol. 170 of the MS 815, Universitats- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt (2nd half of the 13th cent.) which, among other texts, comprises medical recipes, a herbal, and Lunar calendar. The text was edited by Haust (1941: 129-130).
3.* The Legend, along with other short notes, such as a note on the fairs of Champagne, is written in the lower margin of the Latin calendar (fol. 3) in MS 412, Fonds Fran^ais, Bibliotheque Nationale de France (late 13th cent.), which also contains a
collection of legends of the saints and a bestiary. On the MS see Catalogue 1868: 39. On the Legend text see Suchier 1910: 169. The text was edited several times: by Montaiglon (1853: 171-3, as MS shelfmark is given № 70193), then by Veselovsky (1876: 333-4), who used a transcription prepared by Gaston Paris (this version is reproduced by Frederiksen 2008: 193-4), and the second part of the text (dignatio diei Veneris) was also edited by Moland (1857: 411), and later reproduced in (Moland 1862: 104) and in anonymous Curiosites theologiques attributed to P.G. Brunet (Brunet 1861: 3145). This diversity of editions, which do not agree completely because of editorial conveniences, caused some errancies: thus, Alexander Veselovsky, misguided by such a heap of evidence, published the text after Gaston Paris’ transcription, but added variant readings from Curiosites, not being aware that this is the same text. See Suchier 1910: 169-170, note 3.
4.* The MS in private possession (13th cent.) was described by Schneegans 1910. It is a small volume containing a calendar, a compute, a fragment of the Latin Gospel of Luke, dies egyptiaci, the text of the Legend (fol. 15r-v), les foires de Champaigne, the prophecies of Ezekiel (a kind of prognostics for the year depending on the day of the week on which January begins) and an apocryphal story of Adam’s creation. The text was edited by Schneegans (1910: 641). Unfortunately, I was not able to determine the current whereabouts of this MS. However, its contents suggest a strong affinity with № 3 and № 11 (cf. entry on the fairs of Champagne), and with № 17 (cf. apocryphal legends on the creation of Adam), but also with № 19. Cf. also Suchier 1910: 170.
5.* The MS 671 (A. 454), Bibliotheque de Rouen (13th-14th cent.), includes both the French and the Latin texts of the Legend (fol. 251v French, fol. 261 Latin). Among other topics, the MS contains a computistical treatise in verse, the prophecy of Ezekiel, dies egyptiaci, and the legend on the creation of Adam. On the MS see Omont 1886: 178-181. See also Suchier 1910: 171. Both texts were edited by Meyer (1883: 96-98). The Latin text entered the first part of our inventory (Ivanov 2012b) under № 29.
6.* The illuminated MS 9391 Bibliotheque royale de Belgique,
comprises a calendar, Psalter-Hours of the use of St-Ame, prayers and other liturgical matters, and our Legend on fol. 170r-v, followed by dies egyptiaci. Van den Gheyn (1901: 475) dates it back to the 13th cent., but Suchier (1910: 169) gives the date 15th cent. Gaspar, Lyna (1984: 236) suggest the period towards 1300 as the most
probable date. On the MS see Van den Gheyn 1901: 473-5, Gaspar, Lyna 1984: 236-9. The text was edited by Suchier (1910: 581-583).
7. The MS lat. 7486, Bibliotheque Nationale de France (14th cent.), contains mainly Latin treatises on calendrical, computistical and prognostical matters, such as De prognosticatione sompniorum by William of Aragon, Physiognomia by ps-Aristotle, De aureo numero et de terminis Paschalibus, astrological writings De astrologia judiciaria, etc., but also three short texts in French, including our Legend on fol. 21r. On the MS see CCM: 365. The incipit and explicit of the Legend text are reproduced in (Crespo 1982: 69).
8.* The text of the Legend occurs on fol. 12r-v of the MS I. 4.
31, Emmanuel College, Cambridge (14th cent.) along with selections from Lucidarius on astronomical matters, some poems in French, le office des Mors, prayers in French and Latin, a Latin dialogue between the body and the soul, some Middle English notes, a calendar, proverbs (excerpts from ancient philosophers and prophets), a dialogue between father and son, etc. On the MS see James 1904: 90-94. Edited by Suchier (1910: 580-1).
9.* In the MS British Library, Harley 2253 (c. 1330-1340), there are many different texts in Latin, French and English both in verse and prose, such as The Harrowing of Hell and the Debate between the Body and the Soul, medical recipes as well as poems The fair maid of Ribblesdale and The Death of Edward I. The Latin texts include Lives of the Saints and various prayers. Among the French items, most notable are Passion of Our Lord, Gospel of Nicodemus, stories of the Apostles, stories from the Old Testament, short poems, and the reasons for fasting on Friday (fol. 135r). On the MS see CHM, II, 585-591. The facsimile of the MS was published in the Early English Text Society series, see Ker 1965.
10.* The Legend occurs on the last page (fol. 28) of the MS 2485, Fonds Fran^ais, Bibliotheque Nationale de France (14th cent.), a small collection of computistical and astrological texts. On the MS see Catalogue 1868: 424. The text was edited by Suchier (1910: 583-4), and, recently, by Frederiksen (2008: 194), who considers it as ‘not previously published’.
11.* The MS 2 fondo antico, codici francesi, Biblioteca Nazionale di S. Marco, Venice (14th cent.), is occupied mostly by the account of world history since the Creation till Mithridatic wars which is preceded by a collection of short notes, most notably les
foyres de Champaigne, fisique des mois, a Lunar calendar, and our Legend on fol. 4r-v. The text was edited by Suchier (1910: 583-4). On the MS see Ciampoli 1897: 2-6. The contents of the notes suggests a strong connection with the MSS № 3 and № 4.
12.* The MS 12, Bibliotheque de Salins (15th cent.) contains Le livre des temptacions de l’ennemi de l’enfer, the treatise “de mendicite spirituelle” by Jean Gerson, la regle de vie, the French text of the Legend on fol. 152, Elucidaire, L’escripture divine abregiёe followed by the Latin text of dignatio diei Veneris (fol. 231), some other works by Jean Gerson, Destructio de Jherusalem, and Enfant sage. This MS is considered under № 46 in part I of the manuscript inventory due to the occurrence of the Latin text, see Ivanov 2012b: 568. On the MS see Catalogue general 1888: 5-8. Both the French and the Latin texts of the Legend were edited by Suchier (1910: 87, 137 (Latin), 581-3 (French)). It should also be mentioned that the Legend, in the form of dignatio diei veneris is preserved in the famous dialogue L’enfant sage, which was thoroughly studied by Suchier (1910). The Legend text in Enfant sage was edited from this MS by Suchier (1910: 424 (answer 22)).
13-15.* The next three MSS, namely MS 1164 Fonds Fran^ais, Bibliotheque Nationale de France (before 1446), MS 57, Bibliotheque municipale, Rodez (15th cent.), and MS 3391, Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek, Wien (15th cent.) contain dignatio diei veneris within L’enfant sage, edited by Suchier (1910: 424, 436, and 457-8).
16.* The Legend text from the MS 70, Archives departementales du Doubs, Besan^on (year 1430), fol 2v, was
edited by Suchier (1910: 585-9) and represents a longer recension which prescribes to read a certain number of Pater Noster and Ave Maria on each Friday. The MS contains a breviary of the diocese of Besangon and short notes in the beginning and at the end of the MS, including medical recipes. Most of the notes were added later (around 1460). On the Ms see Catalogue 1886: 85.
17.* The MS Ottobon. lat. 2523, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (1450-1460) contains Le Miroir de la Conscience, le Doctrinal aux simples gens, ballades, the lives of St Servatius and St Stephen, computistical and calendrical matters, apocryphal notes on the elements used at Adam’s creation, our Legend (fol. 52v), L’Image du Monde, and some Latin sermons: Sermo de Sacramento Altaris by St Bernard of Clairvaux, De conceptione beatae Mariae
by Anselm, In clementinis de solemnitate sacramenti altaris, and De sacramento Eucharistiae. The Legend text, edited by Langlois (1885: 67), is actually an abridged version, retaining only the introduction and concluding with the phrase “et querez le sourplus en Lucidere”. See also Suchier 1910: 170.
18.* The MS 217 (59), Bibliotheque Municipale, Epinal, from Metz is a commonplace book which was being filled in from the beginning till the very end of the 15th cent. It contains many short notes and excerpts from various sources, including prayers, calendars, verses etc. in Latin, French, but also in German, among them the French Legend text on fol. 31 r. On the MS see Catalogue general 1861: 422 (marked here as № 59) and Bonnardot 1876 (under № 189). The text was edited by Suchier (1910: 583-4), and, recently, by Frederiksen (2008: 194-5), who considers it as ‘not previously published’.
19. The Legend is found on fol. 211v-212r of the MS 456 Lambeth Palace Library (13th and 15th cent.) which contains texts both in French and Latin, including De constructionibus by Priscian, Isagoge by Porphyry, Categories by Aristotle, De sex principiis by Gilbert de la Porree, De divisione and De topicis differentiis by Boethius, lecture notes on philosophy, De natura by Walter Burley, a selection of philosophers’ dicta in French, a French dialogue resembling the famous L’enfant sage, an account of the creation of Adam, Prognostics of Ezekiel, and dies egyptiaci. The latter three texts also occur in the MSS №№ 4 and 5, suggesting a strong link between them. On the MS see James 1932.
20. The Legend text on fol. 322v-323r of the MS 574, Bibliotheque municipale de Cambrai (15th cent.), was noted by Brayer (1965: 215). The MS also contains the sermons of St Bernard, St Gregory, Maurice de Sully, Jean Gerson and Pierre d’Ailly, the legend of Barlaam and Josaphat, devotional poems, and the “examples” (i.e. short stories).
21. The Legend is found on fol. 154 of the MS 1751, Bibliotheque Mazarine, Paris (1st half of the 15th cent.), which contains Dialogues by Gregory the Great, Life and Rule of St Benedict, Constitutions of the Pope Nicholas III for the Order of Cluny (in Latin with the French translation), mnemonic verses, short notes including Liber de via Paradisi, and another French translation of St Benedict’s Rule. On the MS see Molinier 1886: 227.
22. The MS 791, Bibliotheque de l’Institut de France, Paris
(15th - 16th cent.) is a collection of astrological and medical matters in French and Latin, containing De signis zodiaci, medical recipes, tables of Stephen of Alvernia (correspondences between zodiacal signs and medical treatment), phisique de chacun mois, Lunar tables, dies egyptiaci, charms, prayers, a herbal, and the Legend on fol. 65. See Bouteron, Tremblot 1928.
23. The illuminated MS HM 1088, Huntington Library (year 1513) contains a calendar, pericopes of the Gospels, prayers in Latin and French, a Book of Hours, and the Legend on fol. 222. On the MS see Dutschke, Rouse 1989.
24. A prayer-book MS 42, Bibliotheque de Poitiers (16th cent.) contains the Legend on fol. 140-146. See Catalogue general 1894:
12.
25. The MS 2694, Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve is a
convolute consisting of hand-written and printed works (mostly liturgical); among them Heures de Notre-Dame, other liturgical notes, collection of prayers (printed), including Les quinze effusions du sang with an attachment of douze vendredis blancs (fol. 224230), see below. The printed part is dated to the 16th cent. On the MS see Kohler 1898: 453-455.
26.* The same recension occurs on fol. 11r-12v of the printed edition Lenfant saige a troys ans (Lyon, around 1520) which was edited by Suchier (1910: 585-9).
27. With this book, we enter into the realm of the printed word, and, although I have confined myself to the manuscript sources, it will be proper to mention here the printed books as well since from this time on the Legend had been transmitted both in hand-written and printed forms. The next edition to be considered is the one printed in Heures de Nostre Dame a l’usage de Rome, en Latin et en Frangois, avec le Calendrier perpetuel reforme et les Vesperes, et Complie de toute la sepmaine de nouveau adioustees (pp. 140r-v), Lyon 1591, by F. Arnoullet.
28. The same recension was reproduced in Lyon in 1597 by J. Didier. Actually, it is Officium B. Mariae Virginis, ad usum Romanum with an addition of “douze vendrediz blancs” (pp. 479482) and “sept dons du Sainct Esprit” (p. 482).
29. Les quinze effusions du sang de nostre Sauveur et Redempteur Jesus Christ, en la fin desquelles sont adjoustez les
douze vendredis blancs was published by P. Corbault (Paris 1615). It actually contains also the Life of St Margaret.
The French versions of the Legend are contained in the MSS from the mid-13th cent. till 16th cent. when the hand-written texts start being ousted by the printed variants, see №№ 27, 28, 29. Especially instructive is the case of № 25 - a MS which consist of both hand-written and printed parts.
As well as the Latin texts, the French ones are often transmitted together with certain types of topics. Thus, they frequently co-occur with medical matters - recipes (№№ 2, 9, 16, 22) and herbals (№ 2, 22). They are also very likely to be accompanied by calendrical (№№ 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 21, 22), computistical (№№ 4, 5, 10, 17), prognostical (№№ 4, 5, 6, 19, 22), and astronomical items (№№ 7, 10) - and within this type specific texts may be noted, such as dies egyptiaci (№№ 4, 5, 6, 19, 22) and the prophecies of Ezekiel (№№ 4,
5, 19).
These two types of texts are also found with the Latin texts of the Legend. But, unlike the Latin texts, the French version of the Legend does not co-occur with the juridical or disciplinary topics. Instead, there is a number of texts that are frequently coupled with the Legend in the French MSS, but not so often accompany it in the Latin ones. Such are the apocryphal story of Adam’s creation (№№ 4, 5, 17, 19), Lucidarius (№№ 5, 8, 12), the dialogue between the body and the soul (№№ 8, 9), and excerpts from ancient philosophers and prophets (№№ 8, 19).
Sometimes, the Legend occurs within a fixed set of texts, which may give rise to the suggestion that this is not a mere coincidence and that there is a link between the MSS involved. For example, the conjunction of dies egyptiaci, prognostics of Ezekiel, story of Adam’s creation, and the Legend is to be found in three MSS - №№
4, 5, and 19. Whatever the ultimate interrelation between these MSS, it is very probable that this block of texts was transmitted as a whole.
Although we were able to find only 25 hand-written texts of the French version of the Legend, its popularity is confirmed by the fact that they appear in print since 1520. An indirect witness of its wide distribution comes from the Index librorum prohibitorum compiled under the surveillance of the French Inquisitor General Vidal de Becanis between 1540 and 1550 where one can find an entry Le livre des vendredys blancs which without doubt means the Legend of the twelve Fridays (see Reusch 1886: 132). The Legend also entered another list of forbidden books by the Inquisitor of Toulouse in 1548-1549 (see de Freville 1853: 18).

Composizione del mondo by Ristoro d’Arezzo, a Life of St John Gualbert, miracles of the Virgin, and the Legend text on fol. 91r. See Narducci 1859: xxx, Morino 1973: 41.
15. The MS I 23, Biblioteca comunale Augusta, Perugia (15th cent.), comprises the story of St John the Baptist, the biblical stories translated by Domenico da Montecchiello, on the Nativity of Christ, 15 tokens before Doomsday, 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, and many other short articles (fol. 78-88), among them the text of the Legend. See Bellucci 1895: 167.
16.* In the Cod. Pal. 19 (Biblioteca Palatina cl. i, ord. ii, cod. xix), Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Firenze (15th cent.), one can find a Life of St Jerome, his epistles and sermons (including his letter to Demetriades), Miracles of the Virgin, sermons by St Augustine and St Cyprian, Sibylline oracles with the text of the Legend (fol. 164r), an account of the journey to the Holy Land, and Expositions on the Gospels by Simon of Cascia. On the MS see Palermo 1853: 25-7, Gentile 1889: 19-21. Suchier (1910: 167) suggested that the text was edited by Veselovsky (1876: 331-2) as variant readings to the text published by Amati (cf. № 1 above), but this is not true. The second part of the Legend, i.e. the list of events thought to have happened on Friday, was published (very inaccurately) by Palermo (1853: 232). The complete and accurate edition is that by Frederiksen (2008: 191).
17. The Cod. Pal. 99 (Biblioteca Palatina cl. i, ord. iv, cod. xcix), Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Firenze (late 15th cent.), contains writings of Jacopone da Todi, Lucrezia de Medici, Girolamo Savonarola, Feo Belcari, Gherardo d’Astore, a collection of laudas, and our Legend on fol. 54-56. See Palermo 1853: 183-5, Gentile 1889: 91-3.
18. The Legend occurs on fol. 137-138, at the end of the Cod. Pal. 724, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Firenze (late 15th cent.), which also contains Aritmetica mercatantesca, treatises on Arithme-tica, Geometry, and Algebra, Lunar calendar and tables. See Gentile 1890: 265-6.
19. The MS 244, Biblioteca Citta di Arezzo, (last quarter of the 15th cent.), contains Lauda by Jacopone da Todi, Evangelia de tempore, Officium Beatae Mariae Virginis, psalms and prayers, and the Legend at the end of the MS on fol. 78r-79r. On the MS see Gamurrini 1896: 220.
20. The verse version of the Legend is found on fol. 195v-196v of the MS II, II, З95, Fondo Nazionale, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Firenze (late 15th - 17th cent.), which includes Specchio di Croce and the legends of the saints. The Legend begins as follows: A laude de l’eterno Redemptore. On the MS see Bartoli 1881: 281 and Mazzatinti 1899: 116-7.
21. The text of the Legend was noted by Stefanin (2000: 91, n. 53) on fol. 79v-80r of the MS II, III, ЗЗ5, Fondo Nazionale, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Firenze (late 15th - early 16th cent.), which contains Libro di varie storie by Antonio Pucci, and many short notes and excerpts, primarily from the writings of the Renaissance humanists, such as Petrarch and Boccaccio.
22. The MS 2049, Biblioteca Riccardiana, Firenze (early 15th cent.), contains the text Venerdi dati da Cristo agli apostoli da digiunare which is obviously the text of the Legend, and also comprises Storia della Madonna dell’Umilta by Sigismondo Bellucci, Del disprezzo del Mondo, Ammaestramento di confessione, and a chronicle by Luca Dominici. See Lami 1756: 371.
23. The Legend is found on fol. 27v of the MS Conv.Soppr. B.III.268, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Firenze (15th cent.), which also contains Le noie by Antonio Pucci, a selection of sonettes, a treatise on Divina Comedia by Jacopo Alighieri, and Laudi by Jacopone da Todi.
24. The MS З09, fondo Patetta, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (15th cent.) comprises some poems by Gualterus Anglicus (Walter of England), a treatise on Latin prosody, grammatical matters, some poems in Italian, sonettes by Petrarch and anonymous authors, and the Legend on fol. 40r-v. See Carboni 1974: 267.
25. MS 527, Biblioteca San Bernardino, Trento (early 19th cent.) is a collection of juridical texts, acts, letters etc., the Legend is on fol. 16r-v. On the MS see R. Stenico.
In the late 15th or in the early 16th cent. Italian printed versions of the Legend began to appear. The first of them was printed in Milan about 1500 under the title In questa opereta itenderiti quail sono li duodeci venerdi preciosi che iesu christo comado che se douesseno ieiunare. Ancora le gotte de sangue quanto e il numero sua. Anchora la reuellatide chebe sactd Alberto da iesu christo celebrando lhostia. See Sander 1969: 1293, № 7507. The title suggests that this work may be directly compared with the French
edition (№ 29 in the French section above) where the Legend is also coupled with the story of Christ’s blood effusions.
In later printed Italian versions, the text was versified, and the poem of 28 stances (later reduced to 21) beginning with A laude dell’ eterno Redentore / E della madre Vergine Maria has came down to us in many editions. One of the first editions was printed in Venice around 1520 under the title Operetta noua de li dodici Venerdi Sacrati e delle mirabil cose che furono in questi venerdi. Con la oratione de sancta Maria da Loreto. See Essling 1909: 617-8, № 2506, Cioni 1963: 272, № 1, Sander 1969: 1293, № 7508.
The same work under the title Operetta noua delli dodeci Uenerdi Sacrati e delle mirabil cose che furno in questi Venerdi was published by Benedetto Bindoni (around 1520), see Essling 1909: 618, № 2507, Cioni 1963: 272, № 2, Sander 1969: 1293, № 7509. And then it was reproduced in Florence around 1550, see Cioni 1963: 272, № 3, Sander 1969: 1293, № 7510.
In 1575 in Venice Pietro de Franceschi issued another version of this text entitled Oratione Devotissima Delli Dodeci Venerdi Sacrati: Et delle virtu di essi, et delle mirabil, cose che furono in questi Venerdi (see ex. in the Research Library Olomouc Sig. 37.264).
The popularity of these editions and their longevity is testified by their inclusion into the lists of banned books during the 18th cent., see, for example, Index librorum prohibitorum 1704: 402, where the pamphlet Operetta nuova di dodici Venerdi is mentioned. For the 17th cent. we have a testimony of Hermann Bavinck (1628: 32) who wrote that the Romans held in special reverence the twelve sacred Fridays in the year (“Die Romaner haben durch das iahr erliche freitage in besonderer andacht und ehren, die sie li dodici Venerdi sacrati, die zvuelf heilige freitage nennen”), which are undoubtedly the Fridays of the Legend.
If we compare the context of the Legend occurs in the Italian manuscripts with the French and Latin material, we shall see considerable difference. In the Italian manuscripts, the Legend very rarely occurs along with juridical texts or medical recipes, and even the natural combination with the calendrical or astronomical topics is found only in 4 manuscripts (№ № 6, 13, 14, 17). Instead, in the Italian manuscripts, the Legend is often coupled with other text types. It is to be noted that three times it is accompanied by the text on the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (№№ 1, 4, 15). The legend of Barlaam and Josaphat (№№ 3, 8) also occurs in one of the French manuscripts (№ 20 in the French section above). Fairly frequently it
can be found in the MSS along with the Life of St Jerome (№№ 1, 4,
11, 16) and his letter to Demetriades (№№ 11, 16) or with the sermons by St Bernard and his letter to Raymond (№№ 1, 2, 3, 12, 13), which is also present in the Latin MS № 67 (see Addenda above). The co-occurrence of St Patrick’s Purgatory, seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Life of St Jerome in the MSS № 1 and 4 may point to a close link between these MSS. And, at last, very notable is the frequent occurrence of the Legend with poems by Jacopone da Todi (№№ 17, 19, 23) and Antonio Pucci (№№ 21, 23).
