  • The guard shows the pricking holes and the first letters of the rubrics in the outer margin. It belonged originally to the leaf (see reconstruction in the additional image).
  • The rear pastedown is still glued to the back cover of the host volume.

History

Origin

The front and rear pastedwons come from the same manuscript, Schaffhausen, Ministerialbibliothek, Min. 110. They formed the outer bifolium of the last quire of the manuscript. The front pastedown was placed between folio 24v and 25r of the Dragmaticon, and the rear one completed the sermo begun on folio 30v.

Provenance

The actual host volume of these fragments was bound in the 15th century and it might be at that time that the leaves have been taken from the Min. 110, which was also bound in the 15th century.
