Psalter?, Fragment

Leaf is a replacement binding, added to the host volume sometime after 1572. In situ fragment (one trimmed leaf) used to bind Diui Bernardi Clarævallensis ... Opera omnia (Sebastian Nivellius: Paris, 1572). A loose leaf of paper at front of host volume (c17?) suggests early Italian ownership of the volume (and thus perhaps the place of origin for the binding fragment). Paper records accounts and names in Italian. Host Volume: Diui Bernardi Opera omnia : tam quae vere Germania illius esse nemo inficias eat, quam quae spuria et supposititia ... plerisque videri possunt (printed by Sebastian Nivellius in Paris, 1572). Description completed by student Reed Eckert in Adrienne Williams Boyarin's "In the Archives" course at University of Victoria (Canada), Spring 2021.
