Author: 
Jacobus, de Voragine, approximately 1229-1298 
Origin Date: 
ca. 1280-1325
Origin Location: 
Germany
Description: 
The spine of a personal collection of excerpts from the Legenda aurea and seven sermons from the Sermones de tempore, unbound until modern times and protected by a few leaves from another manuscript (MS 161).
Provenance: 
From dealer description: Based on evidence of the script, manuscript was likely copied at the end of the 13th century or beginning of the 14th century. The script of the first scribe may be on the earlier side of the range dates, but uncertain given the informality of both scripts. Both scribes, use the reversed “c” to abbreviate “con” and a quick form of the abbreviation for “est” (Latin for “is”) which suggest an orgin in Germany, possibliy South Germany. The first scribe varies his layout (justification, number of lines, and ruling pattern), which is a characteristic of an informal, perhaps owner-produced manuscript. Fifteenth century(?) notation, bottom margin of f. 1 in bold gothic ink: "S.de3" in a different hand. Purchased by Joseph Pope (1921-2010) of Toronto from Sam Fogg in 1993. Purchased by Western Michigan University Special Collections from Les Enluminures (TM 579).
