Summary
"spiritu in sempiterna secula. Amen.../...Minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis gloria et honore coronasti" (Hours of the Virgin, Matins). 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 Set no. 36, which was acquired by the Ontario College of Art and Design.
General signs of wear, dark spots throughout the leaf on either side. Frayed edges from when the leaf was stripped from its original binding. A piece of binding thread is still attached to the edge of the leaf, which can be seen most clearly on verso. [Grace Parenti]
