- Notes:
- This drawing provides an excellent aerial view of the prison camp at Zerbst and the surrounding countryside. Zerbst was one of the largest prison camps in Germany and normally housed around 15,000 men at a given time. The image illustrates the POW's barracks, camp security, administrative buildings, and hospital facilities. Note the quarantine camp to the right of the prison facility; newly arrived POW's spent their initial time in the camp in isolation to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases into the POW population.

- Notes:
- Bound in modern red leather in 1993 by Donald Taylor of Toronto, spine lettered in gilt on a black leather label, “Excerpta Legendae Aureae, s. XIII.” Gatherings interleaved by paper stubs, with modern cloth slipcase. Previously “loosely wrapped” in the four folios from a Breviary, removed by the Bergendal Collection and bound separately as MS 161. First and last flyleaves are modern paper., Fore edge and tail of a personal collection of excerpts from the Legenda aurea and seven sermons from the Sermones de tempore, unbound until modern times and protected by a few leaves from another manuscript (MS 161)., and From dealer description: Based on evidence of the script, manuscript was likely copied at the end of the 13th century or beginning of the 14th century. The script of the first scribe may be on the earlier side of the range dates, but uncertain given the informality of both scripts. Both scribes, use the reversed “c” to abbreviate “con” and a quick form of the abbreviation for “est” (Latin for “is”) which suggest an orgin in Germany, possibliy South Germany. The first scribe varies his layout (justification, number of lines, and ruling pattern), which is a characteristic of an informal, perhaps owner-produced manuscript. Fifteenth century(?) notation, bottom margin of f. 1 in bold gothic ink: "S.de3" in a different hand. Purchased by Joseph Pope (1921-2010) of Toronto from Sam Fogg in 1993. Purchased by Western Michigan University Special Collections from Les Enluminures (TM 579).
