  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script. The chained binding indicates it was in an institutional collection.

  value: 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

  value: 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.

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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

  value: 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.

  value: 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.

  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

  value: 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.

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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

  value: 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.

  value: 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.

  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

  value: 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.

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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 1450-1475 as indicated by the evidence of the watermark and script.

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.

  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  value: 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.

  label: Description
  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: Written in Southern Germany, possibly Bavaria, in approximately 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.

  value: 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.

  value: An early fifteenth-century manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on nine Old Testament books including Joshua (ff. 1v-16v), Judges (ff. 17-48), Ruth (ff. 48v-53v), Chronicles 1 (ff. 54-86), Chronicles 2 (ff. 86v-112), Prayer of Manasseh (f. 112), 1 Kings (ff. 112v-159v), 2 Kings (ff. 160-194), 3 Kings (ff. 194v-231v), and 4 Kings (ff. 232-252), made for institutional use. Text begins imperfectly on the commentary of Joshua chapter 9, and ends imperfectly on the commentary of 4 Kings chapter 17.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
