- 4 fragments of a missale plenum. Portions of Dominica X post Pentecosten, Feria IV of that week, Dominica XI, and of votive masses for a priest to say on behalf of himself, and for the shedding of tears. Where they occur, the texts of the proper chants are notated in a compact, well executed, distinctive script of mixed Breton and French aspect. Some of the chants are cited by incipit. Unusually, the first of the votive masses is prefaced by a listing of chants which would be appropriate to it. The Alleluia for Dominica X is Domine refugium, and the proper collect for Vespers of that Sunday (not present in the fragment) was entered after the post communion.

- Manuscript on parchment of Guillelmus de Sancto Theoderico (William of St. Thierry, c. 1080-1148), Epistola ad fratres de Monte Dei (De vita solitaria), without the Preface. The letter is addressed to the monks of the Charterhouse of Montdieu in the diocese of Reims. With an index of the chapters of art. 1.
- Alternative Title:
- Frater Bruno
- Description:
- Binding: Twentieth century. Yellow velvet over rounded wooden boards. The former cover consists of a 17th-century document on parchment with text on the inner side, largely illegible due to the remnants of paste on its surface, issued by “Frater Bruno [d'Affringues, 1600-1631], ... totius ordinis Cartusiensis generalis minister”. The former binding contained also three fragments of a 13th-century manuscript on parchment, containing liturgical directions. These are now kept apart with the former cover and a former parchment flyleaf., Red heightening of the majuscules, but layout and decoration lack uniformity. (1) Up to f. 12r inclusively the chapters start in the middle of a line and are preceded by a red paragraph mark; the corresponding chapter number is written by another hand at the same height in one of the side margins, and the chapter heading is added by the same hand in one of the margins and connected to the beginning of the chapter by a reference mark or by a connecting line. (2) From f. 12v up to at least f. 22v the chapters open at the left margin with a 1- or 2-line red plain initial and the corresponding heading and chapter number are copied in red by a contemporary hand in the open space on the preceding line; instructions for these are provided by the scribe (B) in small handwriting alongside the upper or lower edges. (3) Starting f. 23v for the final chapters 40-42 we see the type of layout and decoration as described under (1). On f. 1r a large and narrow “shaped inset” littera duplex in red and green initial F in red and green (8/16 ll.). with extremely developed penwork in the same colours and green extensions in the left margin., Script: Copied by two scribes writing a heavily abbreviated early Gothica Textualis Libraria with simplified letter forms: hand A (ff. 1r-10r, line 5) is rather bold and uses single-compartment a and straight s in all positions; hand B (ff. 10r, line 6-26v) is slightly less careful, there is more variety in the shape of a, and final s is either round or straight., and The lower edges of ff. 2, 7 and 11 are irregular; the lower outer corners of ff. 18, 23 and 24 are defective.

- Description:
- Binding: Contemporary Northern French or Flemish binding, which no doubt was made for Part II and rebacked when Part I was added: blind-tooled brown calfskin over bevelled wooden boards; the decoration consists of frames and a lozenge pattern traced in triple fillets, the lozenges filled with three tools: a rose, an acorn motif and a standing figure (?). Remnants of two clasps attached to the rear cover, with engraved brass catches on the front cover. On the 19th-century (?) spine the gold-tooled inscriptions “SERMONES” / and “IOANNES / CHRYSOSTOMUS”., Part I: Underlining and plain initials. Headings underlined or framed or written in red. Framed running headlines on the pages where a new article begins. Part II: Headings, heightening of the majuscules, and red 2-line plain initials in art. 41.

Guide letters for all initials., Script: Part I: Copied by one hand in small Gothica Hybrida Currens. Some additions in a larger and more formal handwriting. Marginal captions. The scribe is Iohannes de Lovanio (John of Louvain), called (de) Dynen, lector in the convent of the Hermits of St. Augustine in Venice. Part II: Copied by the priest Jean Frassent in Gothica Cursiva Formata (Bastarda), which is less carefully executed on the final pages. Calligraphic extensions at the ascenders on the top line., and There is a contemporary foliation in red ink in arabic numerals in the middle of the upper margins of the recto pages, which coincides with the modern foliation up to f. 86; ff. “87”-“88” of the contemporary foliation are missing; the latter continues from “89” (= f. 87) to “113” (= f. 111). There are traces of a still earlier foliation, also in the center of the upper margins, which has been erased and appears to run from “70” (= f.1) to “159” (= f. 90, “156” and “157” being the missing leaves).
