In the left margin are Sts. Giles, petting a hind (September 1), Anne, shown holding the Virgin Mary (for the Feast of the Birth of the Virgin, September 8, in blue), a large Cross (for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, September 14, in red), Matthew the Apostle (September 21, in blue), and, possibly, Euphemia (September 16). The right margin begins with St. Maurice and his companions (September 22, in red). They are followed by St Michael the Archangel, shown slaying a demon (his feast on September 29, however, was mistakenly not entered in the Calendar), and Cosmas and Damian, holding medicinal jars (September 27, although, curiously, Damian’s name was not entered).
The zodiacal sign is Libra, the Balance.
