|ShortDescription=Latin (hexa)metrical calendar consisting of 365 verses, with one verse for each day of the year. It includes many Flemish and northern French saints as well as ten Irish ones (Fursa, Aed, Brigit, Fintan, Comgán, Patrick, Coemgen, Columba, Mac Táil and Máel Rúain) and records the deaths of King Alfred and his wife Ealhswith (d. 902).
