notes
Ms. composite codex.
Title devised by cataloger; place and date conjectured from script and decoration.
Origin: The psalter was copied in northern Europe, perhaps France or Flanders, during the 15th century. The breviary was also copied in northern Europe. Based on a series of uniformly written liturgical notes in both the psalter and the breviary (see provenance note), the two separate parts of this volume were apparently brought together by the 16th century for the use a Dominican friar.
