Catalogue Note

La première inscription reprend le début de la prière de l'Annonciation, l'Ave Maria, la seconde inscription signifie Offert par Don Diego Xenzor, archidiacre à la collégiale. Les recherches ont seulement permis d'identifier un Don Diego Xenzor, archidiacre de Pastrana, province de Guadalajara. Dans cette ville se situe la collégiale Notre Dame de l'Assomption.
