Ferial psalter

1 pp 1495

The first volume of a two-volume ferial psalter produced ca. 1495. This psalter was part of a larger group of 14 choirbooks commissioned by the Benedictine monastery of San Sisto in Piacenza, Italy during the last quarter of the 15th century. The complete set of choirbooks was used continuously at the monastery for approximately 300 years. Within the context of the original group of choirbooks, the present manuscript is sometimes referred to as "Antiphonal 7." As of 2012, the second volume is privately owned. See Overty, Appendix 1 for a complete list of the choirbooks and their current locations, if known.

Fragments from a Beneventan homiliary

1 pp 1000

Fragments of two leaves, formerly reused as waste, but originally from a homiliary or other collection of sermons. The larger fragment is essentially complete, missing only approximately half of its lower margin, with no loss to text. This larger leaf contains a portion of Pseudo-Augustine's Sermones suppositii de Scripturis, Sermo I (Patrologia Latina, XXXIX, col. 1738), which continues into the smaller leaf, where it is followed by St. Ambrose's Homily on Luke (18:35) (Patrologia Latina, XV, col. 1790). The smaller of the two fragments comprises the lower half of a leaf and retains 15 of its original 31 lines.

A compilation of miscellaneous contents, in Latin and Italian. Fol. 69-130v comprises hymns and poems, many of which are by Franciscan poet Jacopone da Todi (d. 1306). This section is misbound; the correct order, with reference current folio numbers, should be as follows: 101-130, [14 leaves lacking], 93-100, 85-92, 69-84. In the contents list for this bibliographic record, the original foliation number is given in brackets, with the incipits of the missing 14 leaves supplied from the16th-century index on fol. 46-47v. When possible, reference is given to corresponding entry in LIO, i.e., L. Leonardo and G. Marrani, Repertorio della Lirica Italiana delle Origini (Florence, 2005).

Hours of the Passion

1 pp 1465

A French verse Passion written in Northern France between 1465 and 1475. According to Nicole Crossley-Holland, the text functions as an Hours of the Passion for Franciscan use, with each miniature delineating a new Hour. This is the earliest known within a group of three similar manuscripts, and the only one with miniatures. The other two manuscripts are Paris, BN Fonds Francais 190 (from the library of Louis de Bruges, ca. 1480) and Chantilly, Musée Condé 141 (France, ca. 1480). Crossley-Holland dates this manuscript to between 1467 and 1469, and notes that the last two stanzas in the Boston copy, on f. 23, are unique, and probably were not written by the author of the text. The terminus post quem of 1467 is based first on her attribution of the manuscript illumination to Bruges, and secondly on the residence there by 1467 of French court scribe David Aubert, who Crossley-Holland suspects may have been the scribe of the BPL manuscript. Although a close examination of Aubert's handwriting indicates that the script of the BPL manuscript differs from Aubert's, the BPL script resembles Dutuit Ms 456 (Histoire du bon Roi Alexandre). Crossley-Holland attributes the script of the Dutuit manuscript to Aubert; it was authored by Aubert, not written by him.
