notes
Ms. codex.
Bibliographic record created by BPL staff based primarily on description by Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis.
Title devised by cataloger.
Origin: Written in Flanders, possibly for Utrecht use, in the third quarter of the fifteenth century. The blank leaves 201-208 (four bifolia) have had their original text scraped away so that the parchment could be reused here; the scraped texts, all fourteenth or fifteenth century and partially legible under ultra-violet light, are unrelated to the text of the breviary; these include St. Augustine's Enarrationes in Psalmos (fol. 203 and conjugate fol. 206, see PL 36:763) and a Bible (fol. 201-2, 204-5 (inverted), and 207-8; fol. 206 preserves part of the book of Lamentations). The bifolium 204-205 is bound upside-down, indicating that the leaves were scraped prior to binding.
