Provenance:
|
“Based on the evidence of the script, this was written in Germany at the end of the 13th century. The text, although fragmentary, suggests that these leaves were from a monastic rather than secular, breviary (one nocturn with four lessons are provided for the feast of St. Lucy). Possibily waste leaves never used for a manuscript (see the backward two-line red “n” on f. 4). They were used as a wrapper for this copy of extracts from the Golden Legend and sermons by Jacobus de Vorgaine by the fifteenth or early 16th century, when the contents were recorded in the lower margin of f. 1. The writer listed the contents as “Legends” of St. Barbara and St. Lucy, ignoring that these leaves were originally from a breviary, and emphasizing the content that was in keeping with the manuscript these leaves were being used to protect. Belowed to Joseph Pope (1921-2010) of Toronto, investor banker and prominent collector of medieval manuscripts, where it was Bergendal Collection MS 24 (described in Pope, 1999, and online, Bergendal Collection). Purchased by Pope from Sam Fogg, London, October 1993.” --from dealer description. Purchased by Western Michigan University Special Collections from Les Enluminures (TM 579).
