- Order from Aimeri du Cros (Aymericus de Croso), knight, seneschal of the King of France, Charles IV (the Fair), for Périgord and Quercy, to the king’s bailiff of Maurencx (Maurens, canton Villamblard, Dordogne) to come with armed men and horses to Lausertam (Lauzerte, Tarn et Garonne, SW of Cahors) on Thursday, March 15th, next to “Montedome” (Mont de Domme, canton Domme, Dordogne). Dated 25 February 1324., 1 column of 9 lines, unruled, and written in brown ink in French documentary script., and France, 1323-1324. Guyenne and Gascony were held by the English on terms of homage to the French kings, but were confiscated by the kings of France in 1296 and 1324 on the ground of failure of feudal duties. Thus 1324-5 have been described as those “two years of war” (Chaplais, 80). Edward III acquired full sovereignty of Guyenne in 1360; France regained it in 1451. The territory of Guyenne, a Duchy stretching from the Charente to the Pyrenees, is now represented by the départment of Gironde, Lot et Garonne, most of Tarn et Garonne, etc. Note that the pencil note at bottom right is characteristic of documents once in the important but little known Fuller collection (Quaritch, preface to item 1; A Mace).

- 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., The spine 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).

- 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., The upper board and raised band 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).

- Housed in a matted frame (325 x 750 mm), Three, 2-line red initials; remains of an incipit in ornamental red letters. Rubric in red on the recto., Twelfth-century Italian portion of the opening folio from a monumental Atlantic Bible in Latin. Recto contains sections of Genesis 1:7-23 and verson sections of Genesis 1:26-2:15 and (only beginning words of each line) 2:24-3:12., Fine Caroline script, and Produced in Italy ca. 1100. Folio is from a monumental Atlantic Bible, a production type originating in Rome and widespread throughout Europe in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. These texts were oversized as "Atlantic" refers to the giant Atlas, and they probably had use as liturgical visual aids (De amel, Chrostpher. "Giant Bibles of the Early Middle Ages." The Book: A History of the Bible (London: Phaidon Press, 2001), 64-91)."XXII" on the verso in pencil. "6007" on the recto in pencil.
