Abstract:
|
Noble Fragment leaf vol. II 105 (quire 11/5), text Baruch (6) through Ezekiel (2). Paper. Double column. Includes extensive rubrication, use of blue ink in column head, as well as illuminated letters. Initial letter of each verse touched in red. One illuminated letter was sketched but not completed.
|
|
Note:
|
Leaf contains at least two errata: the column head of the first column on the recto identifies the text as Ruth, when it is actually Baruch; and the rubricated line at the end of Baruch mispells "Baruch" as "Baruth".
|
|
Note:
|
The leaf, on paper, contains the end of Baruch, but with head line: Ruth, Prologue to Ezekiel by St. Jerome, and beginning of the text of Ezekiel; rubricated
|
|
Note:
|
Purchased as a "Noble Fragment" by UCB in 1984 from Chicago bookseller Hamill and Baker. ("Noble Fragments" are leaves sold in the 1920s by Gabriel Wells, who dismembered a Gutenberg Bible ["B42"] and sold individual books and leaves.) This leaf had previously been housed at the Lilly Library, which deaccessioned it as a "duplicate".
