Three leaves from two manuscripts of the records probably from a Bohemian or Austrian church, in German and Latin, on parchment and paper [Bohemia or Austria, fifteenth century] Three leaves: (a) two leaves from a list of donations to a church, from a manuscript on parchment in German, these with single column of approximately 37 lines in a number of German vernacular hands, recording donors' names and details of their gifts in blocks of text, each entry beginning with a calligraphic initial, some ornamental cadels to uppermost lines of entries, somewhat washed out and hard to read in places, spots and stains, overall fair, 261 by 183mm.; (b) single leaf in German and Latin on thick paper, with similar records mentioning several times Peter Vochs 'zu Prage', Nyclaus Kaum and Nyclus Bom 'zu Gretz' (Graz in Austria), Nyclaus Berg 'zu Neuberg' (probably Neuberg an der Mürz) and Nyclus Wint "Swydinicesis" (Świdnica in Poland), with entries in black and red (black for the German; red for the Latin), double column of 34 lines, rubrics in black sections in red, trimmed at top with loss of a line from one column there, small holes , some discolouration, overall fair condition, 204 by 158mm. These leaves have survived together, perhaps reused in the same later binding together, and may come from the records of a single church, apparently in Bohemia or Austria.
