- Catchwords occasionally on the verso, passim., Bound in contemporary blind-tooled reddish brown calf over wooden boards. Leather stamped with a central panel of ogival lozenges, each enclosing a central botanical stamp. The whole framed by multiple blind rules and by a broad border of vines and flowers.

Both boards damaged by worms., 1 and 2 line initials in red passim, some with flourishing extending into the margin. 6 to 8 line pen flourished initials in red passim, with extensive pen flourishes extending into the margins. Cross symbols in red passim throughout text. Major divisions of text are marked by leather tabs. Rubricated in red., Decorated manuscript in latin with contemporary blindpressed calf over wooden boards, with original corner and center bosses. Contents include: an index (f. 1r-v); the Propers for masses of major feasts of the temporal cycle: Nativity, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and Corpus Christi, followed by selections from the ordinary mass (ff. 2-17); a prayer Orate fraters beginning f. 18v as orate fraters et sorores, likely a reference to the canonesses of Diessen; Cannon of mass (ff. 24-37); and select prayers for dedication of the church, for the Virgin, for peace, against the plague, for sinners, several for the dead, for alms, and three orations for mass which commemorates St. Rasso (ff. 39-56).

- Eighteenth-century binding of smooth tawed leather over cardboard with three sewing support, green and white endbands, label in brown ink at head of spine reading “Semon | es Sancti | Ca’sarij.” Imprints and holes remaining on front and back cover from two ties, the traces of which are visible through paper pastedowns. Some concave warping of boards and discoloration and/or staining of cover and pastedowns. Paper bookplate on inner pastedown of the Bibliothèque du Plessis-Villoutreys including escutcheon with crown above and motto “Dis peu Fais mieux” below. Minor buckling in the first three leaves due to tight binding., Spine of a small miscellany of texts of various sermons which feature many marginal drawings and notae., and Written in several hands at the end of the 14th century or beginning of the 15th century in southern France, possibly Avignon, as suggested by the style of the initials, and to a lesser extend the script, which features some elements borrowed from the Papal Chancery, then in Avignon. Datable between 1369 (it includes a papal bull by Urban V (r. 1362-70) issued on 4 April 1369) and ca. 1400. Given the inclusion of the rule of St. Augustine and Hugh of St. Victor’s commentary on the Rule, the codex was likely made for one of the many groups of canons or monks who followed this Rule, including Augustinian Hermits (Agustin Friars), Dominicans, Praemonstratensians, Trinitarians, Regular Canons, and others. Evidence of the first sixteen sermons (ff. 1-80) by Clements VII link the manuscript to the Celestine priory established in 1392. A bookplate of the Bibliothèque du Plessis-Villoutreys indicates ownership by the Marquis de Villoutreys, probably in the last quarter of the 19th century. Possibly part of a private European Collection at some point. Purchased by Western Michigan University Special Collection from Les Enluminures (TM 992).

- Contemporary gilt-ruled calf, worn and repaired with spine gilt on all edges., One of fifty hand-colored full-figure drawings of male and female members of religious orders in their habits. Drawings on rectos only. Each image is captioned with the name of the order in a banderole. The drawing shown features “pere Augustine.”, An iconography of the Roman Catholic Church open to ff. 16v - 17r. The codex illustrates “pere Augustin” in traditional garb of his order., French cursive on f. 16v and large capitals on f. 17r., and Based on evidence in the text, the iconography includes a monk from Tongerlo Abby near Antwerp, another from Ansewyck near Mechelen, which suggests Beligium as the place of composition. An earlier owner, Cornelia Alstede of Amsterdam, signed her name and address (in Dutch) on the verso of the front free flyleaf and indexed the whole (in French) on the recto and verso of the first leaf. A later owner identififed a handful of the images in blue ink on the black versos. Purchased by Western Michigan University Special Collections from Bruce McKittrick Rare Books, Inc.

- Bound in post-medieval limp vellum. Two parchment ties on the fore edge, now broken. Collation is erratic with numberous excisions and repairs to gatherings; the manuscript may have been made up originally of odds and ends of parchment, the situation being further confused by modern rebinding, loss of leaves, and probably excisions of illuminations., Rubricated in red. 1-line blue and red initials throughout text. 2-line blue and red initials with occasional purple pen flourishes passim., A book of devotions which includes various psalms and an illuminated initial at the begining of Psalm 70, open to ff. 57v - 58r.

Notation in margins in pencil noting psalm chapters (modern, not vulgate). Obtained by Jean Roos from Otto F. Ege of Cleveland Ohio at an unknown date. Given to Western Michigan University by Jean Roos on 25th anniversary of the founding of WMU School of Librarianship in 1970.
