Reconstruction Summary

The fragment features as an 'illustration' in the book French Illuminated Manuscripts: With an original leaf from a miniature Book of Hours, 1958. The book was bequeathed to the University of Adelaide by Christine Margaret McGregor, 22 March 1977.

Rare book dealer David Magee (1905-1977) commissioned Herbert C. Schulz (1902-1986), then Curator, Department of Manuscripts, Huntington Library, Pasadena, to write the book, and had it printed by Grabhorn Press (1918-1965), a private printing press in San Francisco, in a limited edition run of 200 copies.

Original medieval manuscript fragments are used in two other books Magee and Schulz collaborated on, and printed by Grabhorn Press: The Gothic Script of the Middle Ages: Together with an original leaf from a Gothic manuscript Collectar, 1939, and A Monograph on the Italian Choir Book: With an original illuminated initial from an Italian Gradual of the Sixteenth Century, 1941.

Contents: Calendar for 16 - 30 November to 1- 15 December.

Decoration: Kalende abbreviation 'KL' in blue and rose on gold ground. Ruled in pink ink for 18 lines, with ordinary feast days written in black ink, and important feast days in red. Leafy spray decoration in one margin.
