Bound after 76 leaves of a ¢fteenth-century English manuscript, 

containing interpretations of obscure words in the Bible in 

Revening’s hand. 

Binding: Fifteenth-century parchment and textile laminate longstitch 

binding, the lower board extending to form a fore-edge £ap. 

Cover turn-ins, the perimeter sewn with zigzag stitching in white 

thread. Binding sewn in three phases. Phase I (manuscript only): 

long-stitch in blue thread through cover. Internal and external 

parchment reinforcement guards for each gathering. Phase II: 

Phormio sewn, using long-stitch in white or pink thread, after 

leaf 76 (ult.) of manuscript, and before stubs of two further leaves 

with external guard. Each gathering of the incunable contains 

blank parchment internal reinforcement guards. Text block of 

Phormio untrimmed, retaining deckle-edges and pin-holes, an 

indication that this is its ¢rst binding. Phase III: the ¢rst three 

gatherings of the manuscript resewn with long-stitch in white 

thread, with di¡erent parchment internal and external guards 

from a twelfth-century manuscript with musical notation. For a 

similar binding structure, compare with Shrewsbury School

Binding: Contemporary Italian black goatskin, over pasteboards, 

with £ap hinged on the upper cover. Blind-tooled. 

Originally closed with a tie (now lacking) which passed through 

two holes in the lower cover and two holes in the £ap. Sides decorated 

with a saltire inside a rectangle, each ¢lled with repeated 

impressions of a tool of two interlaced C-forms enclosing a 

roundel and bounded by one thick between two thin lines; a free 

£eur-de-lis in each of the lozenge-shaped compartments thus 

formed. The £ap decorated with the same tools di¡erently disposed 

and lined with reddish-brown goatskin tooled to a di¡erent 

pattern with the same tools. Plain edges. Single uncoloured headbands. 

Sewn on three bands; the bands are outlined by one thick 

between two thin lines. Compartments ¢lled with impressions of 

a £ower-head tool. Pastedown and two free endleaves at each end, 

no watermark. The £ap is uncommon on printed books, though 

common on ledgers. It hinges on the upper cover and is designed 

to ¢t outside the lower cover, unlike the Islamic £ap, which hinges 

on the lower cover and ¢ts inside the upper one. Size: 142 ¿ 101 ¿

were removed in 1882. However, all fragments seem to contain 

rubrication and headings in the same hand and ink, suggesting 

that they all come from the same copy. This would also suggest 

that the two editions, from which these fragments have been 

extracted, shared the same provenance at some point.

In a contemporary German hand shelfmarks have been added 

next to the titles of works of certain authors, such as Athanasius 

of Alexandria, Ambrose, Augustine, Alcuin, Anselm, Alexander 

de Hales, Albertus Bishop of Regensburg, Alanus de Insulis, 

Augustinus de Anchona, Astesanus de Ast, Bernardinus 

Senensis, Antoninus Florentinus, Albertus de Eybe, Ambrosius

is in James, Catalogus (1620), 499 (4 o T 1 [Th.]); this may be identi¢ed 

with Auct.1Q 3.7(1), the‘numbered binding’ indicating that 

the book was in a batch of books previously shelved in Duke 

Humfrey’s Library, but then rebound in the 1820s for the 

‘Auctarium’. Alternatively this item may actually be the copy presented 

by Philip Scudamore (£.1600; Benefactors’ Register I13 b );

Wanting the inserted leaf (26, between [b 10] and [c 1]) of the last 

gathering, bearing the woodcut of St Dominic; see note in BMC. 

Binding: A sewn text -block on unsupported structure, within 

early, sixteeenth-century(?), German long-stitch limp parchment 

bearing a manuscript title at the head of the upper cover and the 

inscriptions below, within eighteenth-century half calfover paper 

boards.The lost upper corner of the parchment lower cover has a 

laced patch repair. Patch and lacing consist of a noted twelfth/ 

thirteenth-century manuscript on parchment. Remains of early 

simple sewing(?) at tail-edge centre of each gathering suggest 

gathering tackets, possibly Italian(?). A crease along the foreedge 

of the lower cover suggests that originally there was a foreedge 

£ap (perhaps a Roman feature, to hold the gatherings 

together when they were sent to Germany). Size: 313 ¿ 235 ¿ 


‘N. 13’ later deleted, in brown ink on the parchment front cover. 

Some verses in a contemporary hand in light brown ink, inside 

the upper cover. A few marginal notes, mainly extracting key 

words, adding pointing hands and initials, in an early German 

hand in brown ink. In the same hand, the ¢rst ¢ve leaves of gatherings

in brown ink; gatherings 2 and 3 are marked ‘2 us ’ and 3 tius ; 

catchwords, probably provided by a bookseller. On [c 9 v ], below 

the colophon:‘anno domini M.cccclxxiii’. A number ofearly quotations 

from classical authors inside the parchment rear cover. 

Some of the woodcuts are coloured. 

Provenance: Contemporary manuscript device on the parchment
