Register of anniversary days when services are to be performed for the dead. Mainly comprised of a calendar which mentions for each day the names of the donors to be honored by a mass, or the names of the relevant saints honored locally. Some of the donors listed have been crossed out, their donation having expired, and other prestigious families such as the Montmorency-Bouchard family, have been respectfully preserved. The register also contains various prayers and a list of the land owned by the parish church of Nangis. Last two leaves damaged by worms with some loss of text.
