- Description
-
In Latin.
Script: Copied by two hands, both writing a very small Humanistica Cursiva Libraria: A (ff. 1r-65r) and B (ff. 70r-78v).
There is little consistency in the decoration. Headings, partly in Capitalis, in red or black (often missing). Opening words or lines in Capitalis. On f. 22v-26r the majuscules are stroked in red; plain red initials somewhat imitating Romanesque models ff. 22v-25r. All other initials (2-3 lines) have guide letters in the margin but were not executed. Curious pointing hands with sleeves in the margins of the Biblical texts.
Binding: Contemporary binding without leather covers or spine: bevelled beach boards (too small for the codex), worm-eaten, sewn onto three double leather thongs; remains of one clasp attached to the front board, with brass catch on the rear board. Front endleaves: large fragment of a Latin document on parchment that mentions church officials, written in Gothica Cursiva Libraria, dated 1431-1443. The rear endleaves are a fragment of a pattern sheet on parchment, probably from the papal chancery, containing short and longer quotations from papal bulls and other documents, some of doubtful authenticity, in various types of calligraphic script. - Provenance
