Rouse MS 16. CIRCULAR CALENDAR, fragments.

Description:
Parchment (thick and stiff), in two pieces 217 x 170-175 mm (If the modern reconstruction is accurate, the calendar had a diameter of 606 mm.). Written on one side (the obverse is blank) by one scribe in a small rounded textualis with a few cursive tendencies in light-to-medium brown ink. Some saints’ names in red, names of months in red, dominical letter “A” in red and other dominical letters slashed with red. The two circles separating the saints’ names from the numbered grid is outlined in red; the third circle alternates in black, red, and uncolored square-shaped segments (from the intersection of lines on which saints’ names are written), two outer circles at the edges of the sheets in red. Red dots along grid axials.

Rouse MS 15. CHOIR BOOK in Czech (?), 4 fragments.

Description:
Music:Prague notation on five-line staffs inked in red. Using the punctum, pes, clivis(?), plica(?) or other liquescent, and other unidentified ligatures. Pitch given by F letter clefs on the third or fourth line of each staff (where visible). A B-flat accidental appears on fragment 1; as the clef has been obscured, it is not possible to say with certainty what pitch it modifies, but it is most likely an E-flat or B-flat. The large size of both notation and text as well as the low register of the chant melodies indicates that the original manuscript was indeed intended for choral performance. Undoubtedly produced in or near Prague due to the distinctive regional notation; the rhomb-shaped noteheads are characteristic of the city’s medieval sign system.

Rouse MS 9. BIBLE, fragment (1 Esdras 8.35- 3 Esdras 8.93).

Description:
Written in Italy in the second half of the thirteenth century, to judge from the ink, abbreviations, script, and decoration. The 12 leaves of Rouse MS 9 came from the same Bible as two leaves cataloged by Maggs in June 1984 (Bulletin 12, nos. 28 and 29). Acquired from Dawson’s Book Shop, Los Angeles, by Richard and Mary Rouse, April 1987. Given to UCLA in 2005.

ROUSE MS 8. EXEMPLIA COLLECTION ON THE VIRTUES AND VICES, ect., fragment.

Description:
Written in Italy in the second half of the fourteenth century, to judge from paleographical evidence (trailing terminal “s,” vertical terminal “m,” backwards terminal “c” for “-us,” uncrossed tironian “et,” crossed “q” for “qui,” etc.), codicological features (quality of parchment and follicles, faint ruling), and decoration (harping, beading, and gold bezants on initials, hairlines on letter-forms). The original manuscript may have been cut into separate folios for individual sale in the modern era because of its gold-leaf initials. Bought from Bernard Rosenthal, San Francisco, by Richard and Mary Rouse, 28 February 1986. Given to UCLA in 2005.

ROUSE MS 3. SERMONES DE TEMPORE ET DE SANCTIS, incomplete.

Description:
Written in northern Italy in the last quarter of the thirteenth century. The opening words of the sermon on f. 183 — “Sicut dixi vobis hec mane” (As I said to you this morning …) — imply a community; observances for Saint Clare and Saint Antony of Padua, and the translation of Saint Francis with its indication that other feasts of Francis were observed (f. 285v), suggest a Franciscan origin. Purchased from Bernard Rosenthal, San Francisco in November 1985 by Richard and Mary Rouse. Given to UCLA in 2005.

Prologue) and continued until at least 1476 (f. 8). Passed at an unknown date to the library of Nuremberg. Acquired from Bennett Gilbert, Inc., Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, December 1983 by Richard and Mary Rouse. Given to UCLA in 2005.

Pliny's Naturalis historia. Leaf.

LEONARDO DA VINCI MANOSCRITTO

Description:
Script is in a single 17th-century hand, possibly that of a French scribe, suggested by pen scribblings in French in Chapter 263. Many of the spaces for illustrations have been left blank; in most cases, the location of these spaces conforms with the illustration spaces in the Du Fresne edition of 1651. Eighteen of the spaces contain very informal drawings and scribblings in pen and pencil which have no relation to Leonardo's Trattato. They were added later by artists at the end of the 17th century, which, as Steinitz indicates, suggests that perhaps the present copy "was in use in an artist's workshop in the high baroque period, close to the schools of Bernini and Borromini." These drawings include sketches of figures, as well as ornaments and architectural decoration in pencil, some of them redrawn or partially redrawn in pen and ink. Fabriano paper, with watermark of a saint carrying a cross, similar to Briquet 7628. Binding is old [17th- or 18th-century?] tree-calf paper over paper boards; brown leather spine and corners; gilt spine title "Manoscritto." Pencilled notes on front and back pastedowns indicate former ownership of Sir Thomas Phillipps, and Los Angeles bookdealers Zeitlin & VerBrugge, respectively, the latter dated March 9, 1946. Provenance: From the library of Sir Thomas Phillipps; "Phillipps MS 21154" above text on recto of first leaf.Manuscript copy of selected chapters from Leonardo's Trattato della pittura, probably from the first printed edition in Italian of 1651, edited by Raphael Du Fresne. Text of the manuscript begins and ends as the first edition of 1651, with 365 chapters, captions, and numbers. The unique element of this copy is the addition of three sections which do not appear in any of the other handwritten copies or in the printed editions. For a complete transcription of these three added chapters of Belt MS 34, see Steinitz, Appendix 7, page 232.
