NoteNote on front flyleaf: "Note of donation on the title page: “Posidet Andreas Tabori 1696. Demum 1698 die 9 Februarii venditus ab eodem et emptus est et exolutus pro R(esidentia) R(everendorum) P(atrum) Kolosmonostoriensium sustacis 9”
Date of evidence1696/1698
Binding note15th-century Gothic full leather binding. Blind-stamped brown tanned skin.
Front board detached but preserved with the volume. The two central bosses (front and back), eight corner pieces. Small damages on the spine. Two labels are placed on it, reading: “91” and “8. C. 8”.
One strap left (fully functioning with a clasp hook). Title of the book placed at the top on the front board, written on a label with 15th century writing.
Strips of parchment excerpted from a 15th century manuscript containing a grammatical text reinforce the centre of quires. The fragments are probably coming from the same manuscript. Given their pace, they were sourced and used in Strasbourg.
Binding date15th cent.

TitlingManuscript label
Decoration NoteDecoration in "L" surrounds the text on Folium I: ornamental motif with leaves in red, purple, and green and a larger decoration in the lower margin with a red rose at the center, green leaves and other blooming flowers at the extremities, includes small applications in gold.

At the top of Folium I: foliated initial Q in red filled with gold, seated in a green frame (36 x 29 mm, 7 lines).

Folium IIv: lettrine "P" (35 x 33mm,7 lines). The body of the letter is painted in green; a red background with white tendrils fills the bowl of "P". The letter is seated in a red frame on a field of gold. The decorative element in the lower margin consists of vegetation in green and purple with a red flower in the left-hand corner.

These are only isolated cases, red lombards are used throughout the book (visible mannerism in their treatment).

A lombard initial “T” was drawn by mistake instead of an “L” of Legitur in exodo on Folio CXXXIII verso. The “t” was covered with a white coat of paint but is still visible.
Ornamental lettersYes
RubricationYes
Rubrication noteRubrics, paraphs and highlighted initials (red).
Manuscript notesPreference for bookmarks over marginal annotations. Only two marginal annotations can be identified. Among the topics of interest are the Mass and the particularities regarding it (Folium LIIII), the priest and the other ministers of the church (Folium XXXVIII), the dedication of a church, and the festivities associated with certain saints (Folium CCLXXI).
