approximately 1490
Origin Location:
Germany
Description:
Missing spine of a German breviary in Latin for use by the the Dominicans containing prayers for Mass and the Office of the Dead (Dominican Rite). Missing spine reveals three double rows of sewing bandsin heavy cord.
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. Joint purchase with the Newberry Library, Chicago (Newberry Library call number Case MS 198), 2003.
