This volume contains the text only of three ordines, Ordo breviarii, Ordo ad Benedicendum Mensam, Ordo Missalis Fratrum Minorum. Haymo of Faversham was an English friar minor, and rose to become the general of the whole order. He worked in Paris, Assisi and Rome from 1230 to 1244, and was employed by Gregory IX in the revision of the Breviary of the Roman Curia, which eventually became the Breviary of the whole Roman Catholic church.
