Notes
Script: Hybrida libraria, written by at least eight scribes, consisting of four primary scribes and four contemporary or near-contemporary scribes who added texts onto blank leaves.
Decoration: Red 2- to 4-line Lombard initials at text openings; some red paraph marks; one initial I as a red fish (fol. 119v).
Binding note
Germany, 15th or 16th century. Brown leather covering original alum-tawed skin over wooden boards, possibly oak (approximately 9 mm thick), beveled on the outside.
Provenance
Princeton MS. 67 is partially datable to 1424. An early ownership inscription of the Dominican cloister of St. Catherine, Nuremberg, is written on the inside front cover. Intermediate provenance is unknown. There are several numbers that may be shelf marks, manuscript numbers, or dealer's marks: on the front pastedown 2157 (ink, early modern?), 671 (red crayon), 45 (pencil), and on the back pastedown 6587/c (pencil). The manuscript was in the collection of Elmer Adler (1884-1962). Adler established and directed the Department of Graphic Arts in the Princeton University Library from 1940 to 1952. The Adler collection was acquired by Princeton University Library between 1945 and 1955.
