- Bound in twentieth-century brown goatskin over boards., Initials in red, black, green, and yellow. f. 2r. Includes a 3-line decorated initial, Manuscript is two codices bound together. The first is a Cistercian Antiphonary from the mid-twelfth century from Italy and the second is an early thirteenth century hymnal. Selected pages., Pregothic, multiple hands; Hymnal in gothic textualis, Neumes, Belonged to and probably written at the Cistercian Abbey of S. Maria di Morimondo (founded 1134; Cottineau 1985 86), in the vicinity of Milan, Italy. The earliest portions of the manuscript were written before 1174, the date of the canonization of St Bernard of Clairvaux, the antiphons for whose feast were inserted soon after this date (ff. 66 70). This earlier portion seems to have been written by a French scribe. Jean Leclercq lists and describes other Morimondo mss. in 'Manuscrits Cisterciens dans des Bibliothèques d'Italie,' Analecta Sacri Ordinis Cisterciensis 7 (1951) 71 74; it is evident from his descriptions that later products of this scriptorium were not as austere as this one. The hymnary portion was written by Beltramus de Redoldis (sic; elsewhere Beltramus de Rioldis), a monk of Morimondo, in 1291. Morimondo was suppressed in 1799. Acquired in September, 1770, by Carlo Trivulzio. Trivulzio Belgioioso Trotti collection of Milan; sold to Hoepli (cat. 5); sale by Leavitt (New York, 27 Nov. 1886, no. 47; auction label on front pastedown). Purchased by Charles F.

- Bound in tooled sixteenth-century calf over boards. Metal bosses and clasps lacking, portions of leather straps remain, fastening back to front., f. 62v: Simple black ink drawing of rising sun, washed with red, blue, yellow, and green. Initials: 1- to 8-line crudely drawn pen flourished initials in red, blue, and green passim, one-line single color initials in red passim., Fifteenth or early sixteenth-century German prayerbook for nuns containing meditations and prayers based on office and mass texts of the Easter and Easter season liturgy in Latin and Eastfalian, a dialect of Low German spoken near the River Elbe., Written in various hands, primarily in gothic hybrida, gothic cursiva after f. 361r., and Written for private devotion in a Cistercian convent in the fifteenth or early sixteenth century. Vernacular was initially identified as Ripuarian Low German with Rhenish influences, characteristic to the upper Rhineland; see Waddell, "The Vidi aquam and the Easter Morning Procession: Pages from the Prayerbook of a Fifteenth-Century Cistercian Nun," Liturgy OCSO 21:3 (1987), 4-5. This identification has been clarified as Eastfalian, a dialect spoken in the area around the River Elbe. The convent in which it was written is with high probability the Cistercian convent Medingen near Lüneburg where more than a dozen parallel Easter prayer-books were written, identified by Dr. Henrike Laehnemann in correspondence on March 29, 2012. Folios 241v-242v feature a lengthy colophon, "Scripto et finito libro... Gaudia mansura confert nobis hic dies iubilosa et diliciosa." Given by J. Christian Bay to the Abbey of Gethsemani in the early twentieth century; front pastedown notes: "Gift from our good friends, Mr. J. Christian Bay, Chicago Ill."
