Notes:

Leaf was excised from a larger manuscript., One 2-line intial "E" in gold on a ground of blue with white penwork and trailing ornamental swags; running head of recto "chiel" and and verso "exe.", Fourteenth century manuscript from the Bohun family bible. Text is from Ezekiel 13:22 - 14:16., 2 columns of 22 lines ruled in red ink written in bold textualis formata, pricking along top and lower and the outer margins., and According to Christopher de Hamel, the manuscript was owned in Cheshire soon after the Reformation, probably to the Carmelite house there, because of an illumination of a Carmelite friar as well as liturgical readings from throughout Ezekiel (a Carmelite practice). Later owned by Sir Peter Leycester (d. 1678), mentioned in his book catalogue (Cheshire Record Office DLT / B88). Purchased by Special Collections, Waldo Library, from the Les Enluminures.
