“... et similiter pretereuntes interrogavit . At illi dixerunt . O domine”. A folium
of a Passionary. The fragment was used as a cover of a notary’s manual (“Manual dels

notes estes paraules: salva potestate [] y estan continuats los calendaris de les
vendes quant com nos parle en ningú d’ells de lluismes ni senyories”) which stems
from the archive of the parish church of Santa Maria de Verdú (Urgell). Is it the

Verdú? On the other hand, until the sixteenth century, Verdú belonged to the diocese
