Summary

"Quem terra ponthus [a]ethera.../...cum patre, et sancto" (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. 5, which was acquired by Ohio University. 

Some signs of wear, and torn edges from when the leaf was stripped from its original binding. Verso also has multiple pieces of tape residue on the lower right side. [Grace Parenti]
