Binding: bound in a parchment manuscript fragment of an unnoted hymnal, German, mid 13th century (includes St. Elizabeth of Hungary, canonized in 1235). Binding work appears to be contemporary with the manuscripts.
Origin: Written in Italy, ca. 1530 (Zacour-Hirsch).
Badly stained in upper inner corner of each page; this stain has caused some text on each page to become faded or obliterated. Possible mildew damage on upper inner edge of parchment cover. Dealer's description suggests this might be due to a chemical spilled on the manuscript by an alchemist.
