In festo corpis xpi [christi] ad v[espera]s An[tiphona]

Author:

Origin Date:
|
ca. 1490

Origin Location:

Germany

Description:
|
German breviary in Latin, for use by the Dominicans, probably produced around 1490 in the Upper Rhine region of Germany, or Northern Switzerland, as indicated by handwriting style, and saints’ days included in calendar. Breviary contains prayers for Mass, and the Office of the Dead (Dominican Rite).
|
|
Provenance:
|
Date suggested by style of handwriting and capital flourishes, and by calendar arrangement: i.e., ms. includes feasts of St. Dionysius and the Conception of the Virgin as single celebrations, first celebrated as such in 1481 and 1491, respectively; but lacks the observance of the feast of St. Servatius as a single celebration, a practice which dates from 1498, thus suggesting possible range of dates between 1481 and 1498. Jointly purchased by Western Michigan University and the Newberry Library in 2003.
