- 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. Middle of each gathering reinforced with parchment strips from another manuscript., Raised band spine and tail of a codex containing the Commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict by Bernard Ayglerius (d. 1282), Abbot of Monte Cassino. Spine label in gilt between the first and second band in a gold square, ““Regl de S. Benoit Manuscr 13 Sciecl [sic]”. Leather is worn and sewn together horizontally over a pasteboard., and From dealer description: Written in the later decades of the 15th century, probably ca. 1480-1500, in central or southwestern France, as indicated by the style of the script and the watermark. Popular in 15th century Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries, the text is likely copied for a monastic library. Only one sale of this text is listed in the Schoenberg Database.

- 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).

- Excised from a larger manuscript. Worm holes throughout leaf with minimal loss of text. Very thin parchment. Stub of conjugate leaf is present. Leaf is slightly distorted because of the puckering of the parchment., Capitals and paragraph marks touched in red. Text is heavily abbreviated. On verso, text on lower inner column smudged with some loss of text., A decree probably from a document once containing the whole Constitutiones Clementinae. The Exivi de Paradiso was enacted at the final session of the Council of Vienne on 6 May 1312. The text of the leaf corresponds to paragraphs 10 - 14 which starts with an explaination that friars cannot have gardens, vineyards or large churches, only humble and modest buildings. From dealer description: This leaf contains a substantial part of the Exivi de paradiso, the document in which Clement V extended papal acknowledgement and his personal affect towards the newly founded Franciscan Order (Clement V noting that since a youth the “professors of this kind of rule” have inflamed his pious devotion), and setting out the guidelines of asethetic poverty for them., 2 columns of 38 lines ruled in brown ink written in rounded early Gothic book hand, possibly influenced by university script., and The parent codex was presumably produced at the time of the Council of Vienne or soon after, perhaps in Vienne itself, for a wealthy Franciscan community.

- Added marginalia includes brief notes, and fists., Seventeenth-century brown leather boards; raised bands on spine; spine compartments gold-stamped with acanthus leaf ornaments; gold-stamped black leather spine label, with title “S. Bern. Ser. C.D.” Bound in nine gatherings of 10 leaves each., On f. 1r: a large, rather primitive, illuminated initial “P” in brown, on a 7-line square gold background, with 14-line trailing descender; body of the letter contains a drawing of a golden Host, displaying a white crucifix on a white background, and standing on a table or altar decorated in blue, red, green, white, and gold, outlined in black; in the lower margin of the same leaf, is a thick gold illuminated monogram “YHS” on a blue background, with colored leaves roughly-drawn on either side; the logo “Charitas” has been added in a later hand below the monogram; alternating red and blue 2-line capitals throughout text, with light brown or red penwork; red and blue line indicators; first 37 leaves foliated in red; catchwords in black, Fourteenth-century illuminated Latin manuscript from northern Italy, containing sermons written for monks of the Cistercian abbey of Locedio, near Gorizia in Friuli, by Ogier, Abbot of Locedio (and falsely attributed to another Cistercian, St. Bernard of Clairvaux). Ogier (also Ogerius, Oglerius, Ogerio) originally from Trino, Italy, served as a papal legate as well, mediating disputes between northern Italian cities. These sermons on the Last Supper, like Ogier’s treatise on the Virgin Mary, had already been translated into German at the charterhouse in Senales (Italy) by the 15th century, and influenced the Christian mysticism of scholars such as Heinrich Seuse. The manuscript represents one of the very few examples of a separate transmission of the sermons, which, most of the time, were passed down as part of the work of Pseudo-Bernardus, or in other collections. The two leaves of catechism lists (88v-90v), following the sermons, include descriptions of the twelve apostles, the ten commandments, the sacraments of the Church, the seven deadly sins, and seven acts of charity; several leaves have worm damage; yellowed parchment pasted on the verso with no loss of text., Text (1 column of 22 lines per page ruled in fading lead point) carefully written in an elegant small pre-humanistic rotunda script, in brown ink; ink flaking from f. 1r with some loss of text; foliated in Roman Numerals on top recto of each leaf in a different hand in red, some numbering has smudged., and Illegible inscription by former owner (?) in Paris, on inside front cover. Jointly purchased by Western Michigan University and the Newberry Library in 2006.

- Notes:
- Leaf was excised from a larger manuscript with cuts visible from previous binding. The leaf has suffered some water damage at the lower edge and is trimmed at the outer margin. Thin parchment likely prepared for a book that was meant to include all of the Bible in a single volume., Each new chapter is marked in the margin by a roman numeral in alternating red and blue letters (IX and X on the recto and XI on the verso). Each chapter begins on a new line, with a pen-flourished 4-line initial in the margin, alternating red with blue flourishing and blue with red flourishing. The text was systematically corrected by a scribe using an ink darker than that of the main text. There is a running head of "DA" on the verso and "NI" on the recto alternating red and blue. Text is written below the top line. The script displays many of the defining features of Northern Textualis, including fusion in the combinations be, de, do, ho, oc, og, oq, pe, and po, elision of cc and pp, use of round (2-shaped) r following o and p, use of the st ligature (and only the st ligature), and use of Tironian et (uncrossed, with the foot turning slightly to the right) indicating a library book script of moderately rapid execution. One feature--the tall, decorated ascenders on the top line of characters--is by Derolez's definition never found in a script of the highest, orformata, grade. Ink flaking from the fleshside with minimal loss of text., Leaf possibly from a Parisian Bible, from Daniel 8:9-10:3 (recto) and Daniel 10:3-11:31 (verso)., 2 columns of 63 lines written in Gothic Northern Textualis, similar to pearl script, ruled in lead with double bounding verticals (4 mm) and intercolumnation of 4 + 4 mm., and Evidence in the text, the manuscript, the quality of the parchment, the script, and the mise-en-page all point to the leaf’s origin as part of a complete Bible copied in Paris in the thirteenth century, the place and time of the golden age of manuscript Bible production. Accompanying documentation notes the leaf was exhibited at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts in December 1965, at which time it was in the collection of the Lima (Ohio) Public Library. It had formerly been in the collection of the Cleveland manuscript collector and book seller Otto F. Ege (1888-1951).
