| Biographical/Historical | The calendar here strongly suggests an origin at Trier: feasts include several German saints, including St. Eucharius, the first bishop of Trier. His feast is usually celebrated on 8 or 9 December, except in Trier, where it is celebrated on 10 December, as here. [dealer description] |
| Ownership | Apparently from the Schlossarchiv at Eisenberg, south-west of Leipzig: "Eisenb. Schlossarchiv" is inscribed in an eighteenth-century hand at the foot of the first leaf. The early twentieth-century card wrapper into which the bifolium is stitched has "Kloster zu Eisenberg / Anno 1207 bis 1524. / Aus seiner Bucherei" printed on the upper cover. |
