Title supplied by cataloger.
Breviary leaf from a portion of the Nocturnes for the Feast of Saint Michael; quotations of Rev. 8:3-4 and Psalm 138:1. CAO III, 2843, 3215, 1491, 5029. The word "M[ich]a[e]li" occurs above the text on the recto - a possible mistake as the feast traditionally occurs on the 29th of September.
Parchment, single leaf. Medieval foliation, "lxxix". Written in gothic southern textualis formata (rotunda). Decoration: three, 2-line blue-and-red and purple-and-red decorated initials. Bounding lines, ruling, versals, and rubrics in red. Excised from a large manuscript. Housed behind glass in a decorative wooden frame (660 x 490 mm); visible on both sides.
Produced, probably, in Italy in the last quarter of the 15th century. Gift of Lydia Siedschlag, property of Special Collections, Western Michigan University Libraries; previously MS 104, now MS 149.
