Bible. Latin. O. T. Jeremiah. [leaf]

"12mo (18.5 cm, 7.25"). [1] f.Paris was the center of Bible production in the 13th century, with the text having been standardized there, and the University attracting scholars who wished to have just such a small Bible as this leaf came from—a new thing in the 13th century. The text here is Jeremiah 35:7-37:12, containing part of the prophecy of the defeat of Judah by the Babylonians.nnThis leaf is of fine quality (i.e., thin) vellum, with the text in two columns per page, of 32 lines each, ruled in lead, the top line written below the top rule. It is written small in black ink in compact Gothic textura script of the style typical of Bibles and other scholarly manuscripts of the 13th century.nnThe running headers are in red and blue with pen tracery. The number heading chapter XXXVI (on the verso) is likewise in red and blue, and there is also a two-line blue initial E with most elaborate pen tracery in red and blue running the height of the entire column of text and into the margin. Key initials in the text are lined in red.nnProvenance: Ex-Zion Research Foundation (later known as the Endowment for Biblical Research); very likely to Zion from Ege.nnA little cockled; text somewhat rubbed. Exceptionally nice penwork on the verso.",Full pdf available, https://dl.mospace.umsystem.edu/mu/islandora/object/mu%3A439264/datastream/PDF/view
