Already on Invaluable I recognized the Otto Ege passepartouts. When it came today, one of ten leaves was f. CXLVIII of your manuscript. And last year I bought f. LXIIII from the Marvin Colker collection (now in my collection, Fragm. ms. 620,1-2). f. LXIIII was written by the usual scribe, f. CXLVIII in a different hand with 34 lines instead of 33, but because it is still in the original Ege passepartout with his description "1190 AD. France. Chain of Psalms" and the dimensions of the leaves are identical, it is certain HL 4.

I didn't realize it had been independently identified by Ariel Brecht. Congrats on the forthcoming article! I'm so excited it's getting some recognition!Heather Wachanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477084043514799190.post-15083466216886218722019-07-13T15:10:24.467+00:002019-07-13T15:10:24.467+00:00I have folio clxxxiii ( see https://www.flickr.com...I have folio clxxxiii ( see https://www.flickr.com/photos/36735978@N05/47059436194/in/dateposted-public/ for the recto. Whilst the rulings themselves are hardly visible, the prickings are quite clear and show double holes at lines 3,16,16 and 31. It is also clear that the text is written above the top pricked line.<br /><br />When I was looking for information about my leaf, I could not find the text with a Google search. I therefore used the description provided in the December 2017 catalogue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929765864630772494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477084043514799190.post-23930096541989837582019-07-13T15:00:40.831+00:002019-07-13T15:00:40.831+00:00This is very useful, thank you.

I don't know who correctly identified the text on the U of Iowa website, but the identification was also done independently by Ariel Brecht a few years ago; we have an article forthcoming in <i>Florilegium</i>.Yin Liuhttp://www.medievalcodes.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477084043514799190.post-91289802537346413932019-07-13T11:13:04.040+00:002019-07-13T11:13:04.040+00:00Fantastic, Peter!
