Title: Leaf on the Commentary on the Gospels, Containing the Gospel of Quinquagesima Sunday, 13th Century. Recovered from a Binding. Latin Manuscript on Parchment. 45 Lines of Script
Condition: Very Good

A 13th century leaf containing a Commentary on the Gospels, concerning the Gospel of Quinquagesima Sunday, or Sunday before Lent, written in Latin, and in an early gothic script. There are several initials in red. Some of the text does however, say “in hoc ewangelio quadragesime duo nobis manifestantu”

This manuscript bears an ownership inscription entitled “Monasterii Weichenstephanensis", likely meaning that it once belonged to Weihenstephan Abbey of Bavaria, though the inscription is 17th century in age.

This fragment was once used as binder’s waste, saved from a bookbinding.

This manuscript is written in a double-column, 45-line format.

One manuscript on parchment, 25.4 x 16.5 cm

This manuscript is in very good shape, with some rubbing and wear to the parchment, with quite a bit of text rubbed away on one side, when the leaf was eventually excised from whatever binding it was used for.
