Notes

Description

Written in Italy in the late fifteenth century, to judge from paleographical features and watermark. A tiny book meant for personal use, this text may once have belonged to a longer breviary but the prayers and readings represent a consciously selected self-contained unit. Bought from Bernard Rosenthal (his MS 75, penciled on front pastedown) in August 1988 by Richard and Mary Rouse. Given to UCLA in 2005.
