Beschreibung:

Two leaves from a Calendar, in Latin, manuscript on parchment [France (perhaps central), fifteenth century] Two separate leaves (for February and September), ruled for 33 lines of text, with entries for the number of day and night hours, the Golden Numbers, the Dominical Letters and the Nones, Ides and Kalends in a late gothic bookhand in red and black, but saints' feasts not filled in, one large 'KL' initial in blue or red on each leaf, repairs to splits in parchment at foot of each leaf, a few marks at edges of leaves from tabs or last mounting, a few spots and stains, slight cockling, else in good condition, 180 by 124mm. These leaves have pencil annotations at their foot in the hand of Otto Ege (1888-1951): 'France 1320 AD'. However, they are not part of any known manuscript dispersed by him. They may well be occasional purchases of his, or perhaps leaves received from an associate of Ege's such as Philip C. Duschnes (see S. Gwara, Otto Ege's Manuscripts, 2013, pp. 67-80 on such 'rogue leaves'). These leaves acquired from a private North American collector in 2019.
