Binding: Nineteenth-century blind-tooled calf for the Bodleian Library; two paper index tabs (items 2 and 3). All three items with green-edged leaves.
Size: 289 × 213 × 44 mm.
Size of leaf: 278 × 194 mm.
Initials are supplied in red; red capital strokes and underlining.
Provenance: Item 3: Seligenthal, near Landshut, diocese of Regensburg, Bavaria, Cistercian Nuns, BVM. Raitenhaslach, Bavaria, Cistercians, S. Pancras; bought in 1474 by Abbot Johannes of Raitenhaslach; on an old endleaf after item 3 ‘In felici valle comparatus est liber iste Et allatus est monasterio Raitenhaslach per dominum Johannem Abbatem Anno domini etc. lxxiiijto’. An offset of this note on the last leaf of item 3 proves that the note refers to that book, which can thus be dated not after 1474. However, it cannot be shown that the three items were bound together at this stage. Fürstenfeld, Bavaria, Cistercians, BVM and S. Bernardus; inscription on [o10r] of the first item: ‘Liber sancte Marie in Fürstenfeld'. Duplicate from the Royal Library, Munich; on endleaf a note: ‘Inc. typ. no. 2161' (corresponds to the Munich catalogue Cbm Cat. 221b (2), fol. 517r-v); on [a1r] a pencil note: ‘Duplum', similar notes on items 2 and 3. Anonymous sale (1841), lot 131 (the whole volume) despite the pencil note on the last leaf of item 1 stating that the second part was lot 132. Purchased for £0. 9. 6; see Books Purchased (1841), 2.
