- 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).
