- Summary
- Two quires of an anonymous handbook for a priest, perhaps composed and copied by its first owner.Unbound. Once sewn on eight or nine bands into larger manuscript. Both quires show evidence of having later been glued into a binding.
- Description
- Written in Germany in the middle of the fifteenth century, to judge from script, decoration, and the latest watermark; the copying, and perhaps the composition, are the owner’s. Acquired by Bernard Rosenthal, San Francisco, in or before 1983 (his no. 53, folio 1); bought from Rosenthal in March 1988 by Richard and Mary Rouse. Given to UCLA in 2005.
