- Bound in modern red leather in 1993 by Donald Taylor of Toronto. Spine lettered in gilt, “Fragmentum Breviarii, s. XIII.” Gatherings interleaved by paper stubs, with modern cloth slipcase. Previously used as a “loose wrap” for the four folios containing excerpts from Jacobus de Vorgaine’s Legenda aura and Sermones de tempore, removed by the Bergendal Collection and bound separately as MS 160. First two and last two flyleaves are modern paper., Spine and upper cover of a small personal collection of excerpts unbound until modern times, and which once protected the leaves of MS 160. The original structure is uncertain and missing an unknown number of leaves between f. 2 and f. 3. Spine label in gilt reads “Fragmentum Breviarii, s. XIII.”, and “Based on the evidence of the script, this was written in Germany at the end of the 13th century. The text, although fragmentary, suggests that these leaves were from a monastic rather than secular, breviary (one nocturn with four lessons are provided for the feast of St. Lucy). Possibily waste leaves never used for a manuscript (see the backward two-line red “n” on f. 4). They were used as a wrapper for this copy of extracts from the Golden Legend and sermons by Jacobus de Vorgaine by the fifteenth or early 16th century, when the contents were recorded in the lower margin of f. 1. The writer listed the contents as “Legends” of St. Barbara and St. Lucy, ignoring that these leaves were originally from a breviary, and emphasizing the content that was in keeping with the manuscript these leaves were being used to protect. Belowed to Joseph Pope (1921-2010) of Toronto, investor banker and prominent collector of medieval manuscripts, where it was Bergendal Collection MS 24 (described in Pope, 1999, and online, Bergendal Collection). Purchased by Pope from Sam Fogg, London, October 1993.” --from dealer description. Purchased by Western Michigan University Special Collections from Les Enluminures (TM 579).

- Notes:
- Flesh side distinct from hair side; high quality parchment., Three full-length bar borders of gold with pen florishes supporting foliage; 4-line initial "A" with miniature of St. John in tempera colors and gold. Rubrication in red. Five 2-line initials in gold on a ground of blue or mauve with white tracery. 1-line initials in gold or blue with contrasting pen florishes. Three full-length bar borders of gold with terminal or marginal sprays or scrolling penwork tendrils supporting flowers, foliage, and gold disks. Ink faded on both sides., A leaf from the Llangattock Breviary, which orginally comprised more than 500 leaves. The leaf consists of text from the Actus Apostolorum 2:40 - 3:9. The Breviary was created as a luxury liturgical manuscript for Leonello d'Este (1407-1450), Marchese of Ferrara, by illuminator Giorgio d'Almagna and assistants during the years 1441-1448. Leaves from the Llangattock Breviary are among the collections of the following institutions: Harvard, U.C. Berkeley, American Academy in Rome, Michigan State, U. South Carolina, University of Washington, Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, Dartmouth College, the Louvre Museum, and Museo Schifanoia in Ferrara. Many leaves are still offered for sale in the book trade., 2 columns of 30 lines in brown ink written in Gothic Textualis rotunda., and "All aspects of the leaf--size, format, and illumination--correspond to those of the Missel of Borso d'Este, marquis and then duke of Ferrara (Modena, Biblioteca Estense, Ms W.5.2., lat. 239) and the Breviary was certainly made either for him or his predecessor Leonello and intended, like the Missal, for the ruler's chapel. It is usually identified with the Breviary record in accounts in the d'Este archives as having been illuminated for Leonello by Giorgio d'Alemagna." -- from dealer's description
