ANTIPHONARIUM. Agrees with Dominican use, except for the offices of St. Helen of Skövde and St. Bridget. These observances confirm that the provenance of the original manuscript is a Nordic one.Very obviously we have here, however, a manuscript of the Finnish secular use: all the leaves have functioned as wrappers for documents of Österbotten region from 1560 to 1627. See Haapanen 1922 p. XXV.
If the office of St. Bridget has really been copied in remembrance of her canonization, the terminus post quemmustbe 1391. Diarium Vadstenense 1988 pp. 124-125.
