    "description": "This earlier binding was removed, preserved, and is housed separately from the manuscript. Decorated with red and yellow brocade, it was made by Gruel (probably after 1906) to replace a leather binding with a clasp and a pastedown from a thirteenth-century Gospel.",
    "provenance": "[Fol. 117 (originally rear pastedown) has 13th century office of Matins for Saint Catherine (with neumes)];  Gustav Ritter von Emmich;  Gustav Ritter von Emmich Sale, Vienna, March 15, 1906, no. I, pl. VIII;  Gruel and Engelmann Collection [no. 609];  Leon Gruel, Paris; Henry Walters, Baltimore [date and mode of acquisition unknown];  Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.",
