The following text is based on the original seller's label. 1. VELLUM LEAF FROM A MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPT
SWITZERLAND (?)
early XIIth century
Latin text
revived Carolingian script
New Testament (Testamentum Novum, cum Glossis Bedae, Hieronymi, et Gregorii)
FROM THE COLLECTION OF OTTO F. EGE.
The chief interest of this text is the interlinear glosses and commentaries from the writings of Bede, Jerome, Gregory, and other Church Fathers
These were inserted at various times during the following century around a central panel of the original text
All the hands are based on the revival of early Carolingian miniscule
The beginning of the trend to compactness and angularity is seen in many of these later additions
This manuscript shows through marks of ownership that it was in Geneva for centuries
It is therefore probable that it was written in Switzerland
The color and texture of vellum is frequently an aid in allocating a manuscript to a certain district and time
The XIIth century skins are often yellower than those of later dates as the result.
