Pierpont Morgan Library MS G.7 is a combined Breviary-Missal, in Latin (the so-called “Kálmáncsehi-Liechtenstein Codex”). It was produced in Buda, Hungary, in 1481 for Dominicus Kálmáncsehi (1432–1503), provost of Székesfehérvár and later bishop of Oradea (Várad). The 337 vellum leaves (250 x 190 mm) were written in two columns of thirty-three lines in a textura script. The rich decoration consists of one full-page miniature and forty-eight historiated initials. The textual contents consist of a Calendar (fols. 1–6v); a Breviary (7–215; which divides into the following sections: Temporale, 7–136; Sanctorale, 136–201; colophon, 201v; and Common, 202–215); and a Missal (216–325v; which divides into the following sections: Ordinary, 216–217v; Canon, 218v–221v; Temporale, 222–276; Sanctorale, 276–301; and Common, 301–325v).
