Acquisition Information
The Department of Archives and Special Collections probably acquired this collection of late medieval and early modern manuscript
leaves from Bruce Ferrini, a dealer in rare books and manuscripts. Accession number 1997.3.
Collection Description
The Bruce Ferrini Liturgical Manuscript Leaf Collection consists of fifteen manuscript leaves from liturgical and scholastic
texts, and the Bible. Liturgical texts include breviaries, antiphonaries, and books of hours. Selections from the Bible are
from both the Old and New Testament. The manuscripts were orginally produced from the thirteenth through the sixteenth centuries.
Some manuscripts were written in late medieval book hands, eg, Gothic littera bastarda and Gothic textura quadrata. There
are also samples of Gothic script from the first half of the thirteenth century. Geographically, the leaves were produced
in England, northern France, the Netherlands, Flanders, and Italy. Some of the leaves are illuminated.
Descriptions in the box and folder list come from the dealer, Bruce Ferrini. Numbers for the manuscripts found in the box
and folder list were assigned by the same party.
Arrangement
No fixed order to the collection's manuscripts leaves exists. They are housed in individual covers, with captions on front
describing the type of codex from which the infividual leaf came, along with dates, place, and paleographical and historical
information. Numbers for the manuscripts found in the box and folder list were assigned by Bruce Ferrini, the manuscript and
book dealer who owned the collection.
