Written in a gothic bookhand in England with colored initials in red and rubricated headings. Martin Breslauer's sale (1960) and Faye & Bond's Supplement (1962) describe this manuscript as early 13-century Dutch. The description has since been revised primarily on the basis of script. Furthermore, according to Breslauer, the manuscript belonged to Wilfred Merton; however, it lacks Merton's usual notes and bookplate. See curatorial file for further information. Bound in 19th-cent. green gilt morocco by André Arnold, stamped on spine. In a protective tray case, 20 cm. Belonged to Wilfred Merton (according to Breslauer, cat. 92, no. 15). Purchased with the Carl Tilden Keller fund, 1960.
