General Information

Title Petrus Lombardus, Collectanea in epistolas Pauli
Shelfmarks RARA Musik L 46
Former Shelfmarks RARA Musik K 14 121
Page/Folio Reference Envelope 4
Material Parchment
Place of Origin Germany or Denmark?
Date of Origin 1170-1210
Script, Hands

Praegothica from the second half of the 12th century, possibly a little later, if one takes a possible Danish origin into account. There are still no junctures (Bogenverbindungen), but ligatures are present (ct, st), and the letters are packed fairly tightly. Straight d still outnumbers curved d, f and tall s stand on the baseline, and serifs are generally curved and face right.

Original Condition

Number of Columns 2
More about the Condition

Probably from a folio manuscript, intercisum format with main text in a larger script and the commentary arranged around it in a smaller, heavily abbreviated script.

Current Condition

Extent Two pieces of the same leaf
Dimensions 40 x 139 and 52 x 74 mm
More about the Current Condition

The text has incurred damage from glue or handling on one side, as a consequence, the parchment is darkened. The second piece has a narrow, elongated hole where it was sewn to the original host volume's band.

Book Decoration and Musical Notation

Description

Some words are underlined with a red pen, likely at a later date, and on one side there is an annotation also in red.

Remarks

Half-leather binding from the 1620s made for Herlufsholm School, in which these fragment was originally reinforcements. The offset of the larger fragment is on the front pastedown of the original host volume, suggesting it was once used to cover up a crack or tear of the board together with fragment F-cikb, which remains in situ. 

For the full description of the host volumes and their bindings, see the virtual reconstruction F-bk3f.
