Bibliographic record created by BPL staff based on description by Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis.
Script: Written in a Gothic rotunda in black ink.
Binding: Housed in an oversize manilla folder.
Origin: Produced in Italy in the mid-fourteenth century.
Provenance: The initial [S] seems likely to have been cut from the beginning of the antiphon "Speciosus formata", in which case the text on the dorse, "... pleti s[un]t ..." is likely to be from the antiphon "Hodie completi sunt." The manuscript would then be identifiable as an Antiphonal. From the same manuscript as BPL MS pb. Med. 165.
Immediate source of acquisition: Purchased in 1953 from Hoepli.
Call number: MS pb Med.166.
Former call number: MS 1591.
