Portiforium seu Breuiarium, ad insignis Sarisburiensis, ecclesie vsum: accuratissime castigatum, cum multis annotaciu[n]culis ac litteris alphabeticis, Euangeliorum & Epistolarum, capitolorumq[ue] originem indicantibus: que nusq[ue] hucusq[ue] fuerunt addite. Pars hyemalis.
Impress. Londini (Place), [per Johannes Kyngston. et Henricus Sutton],, 1555.
[10], i--cxvii [i.e. 114], [4], i--cxiiii, [41] leaves; 21.4 cm. (4º)
Published in two volumes; 'Pars hyemalis' only is in the Soane Museum. Black letter, printed in red and black.

The foliation is irregular throughout but text and register are complete. The title is printed in a woodcut portico frame. Previously identified with STC 15833 and ESTC s124967, however the identification is insecure as the signatures and foliation do not match those of any 1555 edition of this work in ESTC, and further investigation is required.
