Summary

   “…[gloriam quasi] unigeniti a patre plenum…/…ad virginem despon[sam]…” (Gospel Readings: end of Book of John, beginning of Book of Luke). Manuscript likely dismembered by Otto and Louise Ege in the 1940s. Leaves became no. 36 in the "Fifty Original Leaves of Medieval Manuscripts" portfolios. This leaf is part of an unnumbered set that was given to Smith College by Ege's daughter Louise. Megan Rahal
