Fifteenth-century binding of plain leather on boards; clasps lost; bosses on upper and lower boards lost; contemporary labels with contents and pressmark on upper board.

Acquisition

Presented to the Bodleian Library by his sons and received in 1857.

Provenance

Erfurt, Charterhouse: 15th-century ex libris, fols. 1r, 138r; 17th(?)-century ex libris, fol. 2r; pressmark O.9 on the cover; identifiable as O.92 (not O.9, as in the Summary Catalogue, and repeated by Krämer, Handschriftenerbe) in the late-fifteenth-century catalogue (ed. P. Lehmann, p. 503).

Not certainly identifiable in the 1836 catalogue of the Friedrich Gottlieb Julius von Bülow sale: perhaps no. 168 ('Sermones de sanctis')

Sir William Hamilton, 1788–1856
