- Very thin parchment., Two, 2-line blue-and-red pen-flourished initials; flourishing extends up and down the margins., Thirteenth-century, French leaf from a Parisian pocket bible including a portion of the Latin Vulgate: Deuteronomy 7:8-9:15. This bible leaf of small format is a typical example of a 13th century Parisian manuscript production. In addition to large-scale deluxe manuscripts, books of a hand-held variety were produced from the beginning of the 13th century onwards; owing to the use of extremely thin parchment and a tiny script measuring only a few millimeters (called 'pearl script') they could include the entire Scriptures in a single codex., small, gothic textualis ('pearl script'), and Produced in France, probably in Paris between 1200 and 1250 or possibly later; very early example of a hand-held Bible. "M3452" in the lower right corner on the recto in pencil. Purchased by Special Collections, Waldo Library from the Mackus Company , Akron Ohio, ca. 2006 (M3452).

- Chapter division unit beside the inner column on recto. Correction along outer column of recto. Cue mark for chapter 3 in red on verso. “Notas” annotation on verso., Housed in a mat frame (260 x 205 mm), visible on one side only with dealer’s prospectus on the back of the frame. Excised from a larger manuscript., 6-line historiated initial painting of Tobius, asleep. On recto: 5-line decorated initial in blue enclosing vines on a ground of orange; rubricated in red. Running head on recto reads "TOBIE" in alternating red and blue capitals, and on verso reads: "TO." On recto: 5-line initial P in blue with red pen florishes extending into the margins, 2-line initial T in red with blue pen florishes that extend the inner column and into the upper and lower margins. Pearl script on either side of the running title. Capitals touched in red. Guide letter for the Roman numberal III in the inner margin. Roman numbers alternate red and blue., A leaf from a small bible with painted initials before the prologue and first chapter of Tobit. The initials painted on this leaf are stylistically similar to the work of professional artists working in Paris, possibly Johannes Grusch atelier. Historiated initial illustrates Tobit, eyes closed and covered with a blanket, reclining in bed, enclosed by a hybrid animal. Intial decorated with marginal extenders., 2-column of 45 lines ruled in lead written in small gothic textualis (pearl script)., and Based on evidence in the text, this Bible was likely decorated by artists from Paris in the third quarter of the thirteenth century, c. 1250-1270. The motifs and colors used in the red and blue pen initials can be compared with Paris, BnF, MS lat. 16541 (Stirnemann, 1990, no. 39, and p. 70). The style of the painted initials can be compared most closely with the later products of the Johannes Grusch workshop, a rather diverse stylistic group active in the second and third quarters of the thirteenth century (Branner, 1977, appendix VK. pp. 222-223).

- Notes:
- Bound in an unusual binding, probably contemporary, made from two pieces of brown leather, sewn together horizontally, which is stitched over pasteboards formed from ten leaves from other manuscripts (now partially visible at the top, front, and along the fore edge, back). The leather turn-ins are covered with a paper leaf, now fragmentary, in the front, and by leather in the back. Part of this leather is broken off, and is now laid in, sewn on three leather bands, stitched through the inside of the covers in a “v” pattern. Lighter brown leather (sheepskin?) spine, probably later, with three raised bands with the title in gilt between the first and second in a gold square, “Regl de S. Benoit Manuscr 13 Sciecl [sic].” Remains of leather tie, front cover, with a hole in the back cover, presumably from another tie, now missing, and showing considerable wear, including a second small hole in the back cover near the spine, and with corners and some edges of the leather covers worn away.
