Provenance:

Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in ca. 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script. The chained binding indicates it was in an institutional collection. Purchased by Western Michigan University’s Special Collections from Les Enluminures who procured it from a private North American collection.

Binding:

Front cover detached. Early chained binding (possibly contemporary) of brown leather over wooden boards, beveled and cut almost flush with the book block, sewn on double bands that enter the boards at the edge and are fastened on the inside. Head and tail bands also fasten into the boards. Spine with four raised bands and with the remains of a tab at the top. Simply tooled in blind with an outer frame and two single fillets crossing on the diagonal. Five brass bosses on upper and lower boards. Once fastened back to front: stubs of two straps, lower board and holes from two pins center upper board, intact metal hasp and chain ending in a ring middle top edge lower board, remains of parchment label upper board. Strips of parchment from earlier manuscripts used to line the spine visible at the beginning and end. Title copied in a cursive script on bottom fore edge: “Isti(?) sunt liber hystoriales scilicet iosue iudic[um] Ruth paralipomenon Regum. The binding has been tampered with and the first and last leaves are pasted down at the front and back, perhaps when the opening and closing gatherings were removed.
