          St. Catharine of Alexandria (25 November).

Parchment.  1 folio.  185 x 138 mm (written space 108 x 74 mm).  18 lines.  Ruled in red ink for
text and for marginal decorations.
     Written in gothic script (littera textualis).  Two miniatures of mediocre quality, one for
each saint.  The miniature of St. Nicholas shows him in bishop's clothing, holding a staff and a
book, and standing next to a tub with two children in it.  St. Catharine is depicted as crowned,
holding a book and a sword; on the floor behind her is the wheel upon which she was tortured. 
The floor in each miniature is checkered with yellow and light orange, and the wall is dark red
with gold flowers on the bottom and blue-grey on the top.  The antiphons and orations begin
with a 2-line initial in gold on an alternating ground of blue with white filigree or red with white
filigree.  Initials on blue grounds are filled with red, and initials on red grounds are filled with
blue.  1-line initials are black and are highlighted with yellow.  Punctuation consists of the
punctus.  Hyphenation is in the same ink as the text.  Rubrics are written in red minuscule.  The
upper, lower and outer borders are decorated with blue and gold vines, red vines with blue and
red or gold and blue berries and yellow vines with green and purple thistles.  A thin black vine
stem with gold flowers is in the inner margin on the recto only.  The border in the outer margin
is of a higher quality than that of the upper and lower margins, which appear to be later
additions.

column of text originally ca. 95 mm).  2 columns.  Ruled in lead.

psalms.  The first two initials are blue uncials on a square pink ground bordered in green.  The
second two are pink uncials on a square blue ground bordered in green; the "M" on MS 483.13
has a ground containing a diaper pattern with gold dots at the interstices and red crosses in the
spaces.  All four initials are filled with gold in which there are pink, green or blue vines with
white, yellow or pink flowers.  The initials on MS 483.11r ("I" from a verse in Psalm 55) and
MS 483.12v ("P" of Psalm 16.11) are 2-line capitals in red decorated with foliate ornamentation
outlined in brown and colored with green; they are set apart from the text.  These initials are very

     Written in gothic script (littera textualis).  2-line initials are in blue with red penwork or
in black with black penwork and are not set apart from the text.  1-line initials are in black, not
set apart from the text.  Rubrics are written in red minuscule.  Punctuation consists of the
punctus.  Hyphenation is in the same ink as the text.  Musical notation is in black on 4-line
staves in red.
     In the sixteenth-century the leaf was used in a binding of a book with the title "The
revenues of lands in Essex and Suffolk Late B[?]."  This inscription is similar to a contemporary
one on MS 484.16.  There are several other notes in sixteenth-century English hands, including a
quotation from book I of St. Ambrose's De virginitate (PL 16.273): "Ambro: libro quarto de
virginibus {Nos nova omnia que Christus non docuit iure dampnamus quia fidelibus via Christus
est. Si igitur Christus non docuit quod docemus, etiam id detestabile iudicamus."  A modern
hand has written "England, 1450" in pencil in the lower right corner of the verso.

MS 483.20		                         Italy, s. XIV
Dynus de Mugello, Super Infortiato et Digesto Novo

The first part of the text of this fragment follows fairly closely the printed text of the
commentary by Dynus de Mugello (d. 1298), a teacher of law at Bologna, although in many
minor instances it agrees more closely with the quotations attributed to Dynus by Albericus de
Rosate (d. 1360) in his commentary.  The extensive commentary on Si is qui ducenta (Digest
34.5.13), which takes up half of column 2 on the recto and all of the verso, is not found in the
printed edition of Dynus, but it does appear in the edition of Albericus's commentary, where it is
attributed to Dynus.

          verso.  The commentary is on Justinian, Digesta, 34.4.3-5.12; ed. T. Mommsen
          and P. Krueger, Corpus iuris civilis, (Berlin, 1928), 1:531-5.

          1978), fols. 105v-6r.  The commentary is on Justinian, Digesta, 34.5.13; edd.
          Mommsen and Krueger, 1:535.

Parchment.  1 folio.  400 x 262 mm (written space 305 x 189 mm).  2 columns.  81-84 lines.
Ruling (lead?) not visible.
     Written in a cramped and inelegant gothic script (scriptura notularis).  Two 2-line initials
alternating red and blue, decorated with red penwork and not set apart from the text.  Rubrics are
written in red gothic cursive.  The lemmata are marked with alternating red and blue paragraph
marks, and some of them are underlined in brown.  Another hand has added a running series of
letters from "i" to "z" and then "a" to "l" in the margin next to each lemma.  Punctuation consists
of the punctus.  Hyphenation is in the same ink as the text.
     The fragment was folded in half and used as the wrapper of a volume measuring ca. 263
x 200 mm.  There are several sixteenth-century inscriptions on the recto, including "Westhall,
supervisio manorii(?)," which may refer to Westhall in Suffolk, England, and seems to be the
title for the volume bound by the fragment.  The names "Robert," "Thomas," and Alsoppe" also
appear on the recto.  On the verso a sixteenth-century hand has written abstracts of accounts.

blue grounds are filled with red with blue penwork.  1-line initials at the beginning of chants are
