I'm prepared to bet it still is a translation feast :-) 11 July was the Feast of the Translation of St Benedict in the Sarum Calendar: a Simple feast with double Invitatory - and three lessons if his Lenten feast was celebrated with nine. (If the 21 March feast fell in Passiontide it was deferred to July.)
