Former Owner(s):
This collection of English binding fragments was given to NYU by Homer Lewis Bartlett (1858-1940), who graduated in 1884 from NYU with a degree in Science and Civil Engineering; he married Clarice Sherman Noble in 1892; they had five children.
by 1902, he was second vice-president of the Eastern District Savings Bank. De Ricci states that the collection (of 101 fragments with 70 others laid into the album) was given to NYU in 1884 (the same year in which Homer L. Bartlett graduated).
Note:
Bibliography: De Ricci, p. 1346. ff. 1-2v: This bifolium has been given two call numbers (Fragment 061 and Fragment 062) to represent each sheet of the bifolium. The leaves are the upper part of this bifolium (the lower part is missing). ff. 1-2v (=Fragment 061 and Fragment 062): Appears to be an idiosyncratic copy, with much skipped text and mistranscriptions of Lotario de' Conti di Segni, De miseria condicionis humane, edited online at http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/innocent1.html For the various incipits and explicits (since the leaves are missing text at the bottom), see: for Fragment 061= f. 1, column 1, materials from... Incipit, ff. 1-2v (=Fragment 061 and Fragment 062): Quid turpius ebrioso cui fetor in ore, tremor in corpore, cui mens alienator//. Explicit, ff. 1-2v (=Fragment 061 and Fragment 062): //etiam sacerdotes qui de nocte venire e a [for "Venerem"] amplexantur et mane virginem <erasure: amplexantur> venerantur; turpe dictu set turpissimo actu.
