Spine with two old paper labels, one with ink titling.

From a noted Missal that had outlived its use, this manuscript leaf was later repurposed as a cover for a 17th century printed book. The spine label indicates it was a copy of Jacob Bidermann's "Herodiados libri tres," a lengthy Latin poem relating the story of John the Baptist and Herod, first published in 1622.

In den Warenkorb402 x 452 mm. (15 3/4 x 17 3/4"). Double column, 29 lines, in a proto-gothic hand. Chapter number in red, one initial struck in red. Condition consistent with being recovered from a binding, with one column almost entirely trimmed away, several large holes touching text, vellum a bit roughened, one side of bifolium almost entire…ly illegible, but the other still very clear, with just some light browning and staining. From a substantial manuscript containing Gregory I's "Homilies on the Gospels," this early fragment features a large, pleasing hand, with clear letter forms and some lovely stylistic qualities. Of particular interest are the elongated and curled tongues on the letters "e" and "r" when they appear at the end of words, and the "m" and "n" letter forms are quite distinct, with their shoulders being slightly angular. Certain nascent gothic elements appear in this script, including the fusion of the double "pp," a round "s" at the ends of words, and letters with an overall more elongated appearance. The legible page of text on this bifolium comes from Gregory's homily on Luke 18:31-44, discussing Christ's miraculous healing of a blind man in Jericho. Elected pope in 590, Gregory I (ca. 540-604), also known as Gregory the Great, was one of the most influential pontiffs in the history of the Church. In addition to revising liturgical worship, he wrote extensively on theology, offering homespun wisdom rather than esoteric debates. His Homilies were intended to be preached to common people (rather than to a monastic audience), and as a consequence were greatly admired for their straightforward language and pastoral relevance. Judging from its current dimensions, the original manuscript must have been quite grand, its size undoubtedly being one of the reasons it was targeted for dismemberment. Despite some obvious damage in the leaf's reuse, one side has remained largely accessible, and it still gives us a very good idea of the manuscript's original grandeur.

In den Warenkorb270 x 461 mm. (10 5/8 x 18 1/8"). Double columns, 32 lines, in a gothic book hand. Rubrics and staves in red, three two-line initials in red or blue with contrasting penwork (now quite faded). Unevenly trimmed (missing at most a line of text at the bottom of each column, and several words or part-words at corners of outer column…s), vellum with soiling, browning, small holes and paper residue consistent with having been used in a binding, but the text entirely legible on one side and legible with effort on the other (rather darkened) side. From a noted Missal with large penwork initials, this leaf was once used as the cover for a binding, yet remains substantially complete. The text here comes from the Temporale (containing the cycle of moveable feasts in the Christian year) and includes Wednesday (Feria IV) after the fourth Sunday of Lent (with a long passage from John 9). The musical notation on this leaf is highly developed, consisting of a four-line staff, clef marker, and square neumes.

In den Warenkorb335 x 224 mm. (13 1/4 x 8 7/8"). Double column, 29 lines, in an elegant proto-gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, several two-line initials in red. Recovered from a binding and so the vellum a bit soiled, creased, and wavy, recto with a lighter patch (where a title label was once situated), light stains and glue and paper residue…on the verso, but overall the leaf remarkably clean, entirely legible, and surprisingly well preserved. Once serving as a cover for a later book, this leaf comes from a nearly contemporaneous copy of Peter Lombard's "Sentences," considered the most important theological book of the 12th century. Written between 1155 and 1158 and arranged topically, Lombard's "Sententiae" summarize past learning about Christian doctrine by quoting authorities in an attempt to resolve textual disagreement by dialectical analysis. As a source collection that continued to spark discussion, Lombard's great work enjoyed sustained success as a theological textbook until the 17th century and inspired numerous commentaries, including those of Aquinas and Luther. This leaf comes from Book IV, "On the Doctrine of Signs," which is primarily concerned with the seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Sacred Orders, and Matrimony. The script is an upright and very legible proto-gothic book hand with a few distinctive letter forms and abbreviations that may help determine a more definitive point of origin (these include a "g" with a downward cross on its tail, and a conjoined "qe" for "que"). It is unusual (and very lucky) that this leaf survives completely intact, as Medieval manuscripts used in later bindings were often cut down in size to make smaller covers or used as waste paper for pastedowns or other binding elements.

In den Warenkorb160 x 205 mm. (6 1/4 x 7 5/8"). Single column, 35 extant lines in a gothic hand. With several marginal doodles and pen trials, probably done in a later hand. âPreviously used in a binding and thus with several small wormholes and creases, verso with some staining and scraping (but most of the text still legible), and overall a v…ery good specimen. Written in a distinctive and rather pretty hand, this specimen probably comes from a biblical commentary or a collection of sermons. The passage preserved here delves into Genesis 27:27, where Jacob succeeds in deceiving his old, blind father Isaac into blessing him, instead of Esau, the favored son. The ruse is accomplished partly through scent, as Jacob is wearing Esau's garments, and this element of the story leads to a detailed exploration of various types and the significance of odors. Though this fragment has been previously used as binding waste, the extant text is very well preserved and almost entirely legible.
