Miniature of the Annunciation; decorative border.
Parchment; f. 1; 9 lines of text and music, the text written in a formal and very spiky Germanic gothic book hand, and the music in square notation on 4-line staves, with a custos at the end of each line of staves; the vertical rules on either side of the written space are doubled.
A square miniature opens the feast of the Annunciation, the height of almost 2 lines of text and music: enclosed in a wooden frame, in a large and deep Renaissance-style bedroom, with a long hall reaching straight back to a garden, the archangel Gabriel approaches in flight from the upper left, with the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove above the Virgin's head, as she turns backwards from her prayers to see the angel; a large vase with lilies sits in the center of the floor. For another pattern of the same miniature, see, for example, Glasgow, University Library, Hunter MS 25 (S. 2.15), the one full-page miniature in the book (there are nine smaller miniatures), in a breviary with pictures attributed to the Master of the First Prayer Book of Maximilian. This manuscript is discussed in Thomas Kren and Scot McKendrick, Illuminating the Renaissance: the Triumph of Flemish Manuscript Painting in Europe (Los Angeles: Getty Museum, 2003), in a section by Thomas Kren on pp. 317-318, n. 89, with a reproduction of the Hunterian manuscript's miniature of the Annunciation.
In the BECPL manuscript, on the recto, a 2-sided border of interconnecting triangles in red, dark blue, green and yellow, each one decorated with faint drawings; the blue triangle directly below the archangel Gabriel contains a coat of arms: quarterly, 1 and 4, [two or three objects?], 2 and 3, argent [?], two bars [azure?]. The R that opens the chants for the Annunciation is rendered as if a 3-dimensional wooden letter, with shadows, sitting on a gray ground; other initials: two are the height of one line of text and one set of staves, in red; another initial, of the same size, is in black Elefantenr sel with flourishes of curled acanthus leaves, touched in green. Rubrics in red. Foliation in black ink in the center of the outer margin of the recto, and with the same number in early modern foliation in the upper right corner of the leaf: "xciiii" (= 94).
Written probably in Austria during the turn from the 15th to the 16th century; the assigning of this leaf to Italy in De Ricci's Census proves that De Ricci himself had not seen this leaf. According to the BECPL inhouse website, the leaf belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920), although there is no comment to that effect in De Ricci, and there is no oval or round sticker with Elson's name on the leaf (as there is on the leaves in this library's collection that certainly belonged to Elson). We are very grateful to Peter Kidd, who proposed the similar pattern of the Annunciation in the manuscript held in Glasgow, and to his citation of relevant bibliography

Rich Newberg Reports Collection
Description
An account of the resource
This collection of long-form reports by retired WIVB-TV Senior Correspondent Rich Newberg covers a wide range of social issues, Buffalo history and the arts. Mr. Newberg retired from the Buffalo CBS network affiliate at the end of 2015, after serving the station for thirty-seven years in various roles including main anchor, reporter and documentarian. <br /><br />His New York Emmy Award winning pieces explore the abortion debate, care of the mentally ill, the African American struggle for civil rights, and the lessons of the Holocaust, among many topics. His video memoir, “One Reporter’s Journey, “ reflects on his forty-six year career, beginning as an advocate for those without a voice. <br /><br />"My hope," says Newberg, “is that this collection will provide a lasting chronicle of life and issues in Buffalo during the latter part of the 20th century and into the new millennium."

Description
An account of the resource
Serious incidents of school bullying were receiving national attention in 2011. President Barrack Obama held a White House conference on preventing bullying after high profile cases of teenage suicides struck a national nerve.
In Western New York, worried parents of young victims of bullying were concerned that their school districts were not dealing effectively with the issue. A rash of incidents on school buses targeted students as young as six years old.
WIVB-TV Senior Correspondent Rich Newberg reported on young children being tormented and found that school superintendents were reluctant to go on-camera to discuss the issue. Parents said bullies were not being punished, even after repeated incidents were documented.
There was enough pubic interest in the growing problem to warrant a special WIVB-TV presentation. On March 2, 2011, large portions of the 5 and 6 o’clock newscasts were set aside to feature a panel of experts who took calls from concerned viewers. They addressed issues including whether or not a targeted child should fight back.
Parents were also advised to look for signs indicating that their child might be a victim of bullying. It was noted that victims can carry deep emotional scars. There were calls for serious interventions by school districts that had been reluctant to take direct action against known bullies.
The segments ended with high profile celebrities and politicians, including President Obama, offering words of encouragement to those who were being tormented at school. Students were urged not to remain silent and to seek help from those they trust, including parents and teachers.
Legendary Buffalo boxer “Baby Joe” Mesi told a group of public school children that he had been a victim of bullying. The former world heavyweight contender said he built up his self confidence by learning how to box.
“Too often the voice of the victim, the target of the bully, goes unheard,” said WIVB-TV General Manager Chris Musial. He added, “Young people still feel trapped, abused and tormented. We at WIVB-News 4 and CW23-WNLO are committed to digging deeper in our coverage of this important issue. Whether it begins in the schoolyard or school bus, or in cyberspace through online taunting or texting, we will continue our efforts to find solutions that lead to an end of these horrible actions by bullies.”
“The Bully Project” was honored with a national Sigma Delta Chi Public Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists.

Parchment; ; f. 1; 7 lines of text and music, the text copied in a highly fractured gothic book hand, and the music in Hufnagelschrift on 5-line red staves, with a custos at the end of each set of staves, with text and music placed within "tram lines" that border the written area on both vertical sides. The opening initial corresponding to the height of 2 lines of text and their corresponding 2 sets of staves in an initial formed of scrolling green leaves, set on a punched gold ground, and enclosed withing a frame of pieces of "wood" in alternating red and blue sections; growing out of the initial, and running the length of the page in its far left border is an extended scroll of multicolored acanthus leaves and gold dots, the entire spray of leaves is roughly trimmed on the left by the knife of the person who removed this leaf from its binding. In the lower margin, an equivalent spray of acanthus leaves, flowers and gold dots, enclosed within a narrow silver frame. On the verso, a calligraphic initial (equivalent to 1 line of text and its music) in the ink of the text. In upper right area of the recto of the leaf, the foliation in red roman numerals, "ccxi."
Written in Austria during the time at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century. Although the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library states that the leaf was part of the collection of Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920), there are no round / oval stickers on the leaf that assert Elson's ownership of the leaf, nor is that assertion of provenance in the record by S. De Ricci. Formerly in the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library.
Numbered 211 in top margin. [ccxi]
Illuminated intial and border.

Parchment; ; f. 1; 5 lines of text and music, with the text copied in a formal gothic hand and the music in black square notation on 4-line red staves. Initial S of the height of one line of text and one of music, in dusty rose, infilled with stacked aroid flowers in petals of dark blue, red, green and gray, the whole set on a very spiked gold ground, with a leafy extension in rose and blue; a gold ball in the margin. The initials E and G, the height of one line of text and two (of the four lines of the staves) in white-decorated blue or red, set against a ground of negatively-designed leaves on grounds red and blue or blue alone; the letters X, L, and A (directly following the decorated initials) in elaborate gothic format against a ground of negatively patterned leaves in the ink of the text. On the recto, in the center of the outer margin, the folio number in red roman numerals, "CL." Small round label in the upper innermost corner of the verso, "Elson n. 17."
Written towards the end of the 15th century in Italy, and most likely in Lombardy given the spiky gold ground around the major initial; the rayed gold ball above that initial also occurs in the northern parts of Italy. Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life. The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. This fragment was n. 17 in the Elson collection.

Description
An account of the resource
Parchment; ; ff. 3 of which the first is a single leaf, and the second two are the innermost bifolium of a quire with consecutive text. Written in a light brown ink by a very unexpert (or very hurried) hand in a compressed gothic book hand in a space that seems to be ruled only for the vertical lines that designate the width of the writing area, although some areas do show the horizontal text lines: e.g. on f. 3v, in the inter-column space adjacent to the gloss's 2-line initial, and on that same page, in the lower right column, where 6 lines were left blank in order to copy the gloss's final line on the very last line available on that page (so that no one could insert other gloss without noticeably interrupting the flow of the text). The number of lines in either the text or the gloss area varies according to the amount of space necessary to copy the gloss that is relevant to the text on that page: the text lines on these leaves varies from 2 columns of 3 lines (on f. 1) to 2 columns of 36 lines (on f. 2); the number of lines of the gloss varies from 2 columns of 60 lines (on f. 1) to 2 columns of 66 lines (on f. 2; but note that the columns have here shrunk in width to where they accommodate only some 4 to 6 letters).
In both the text and the gloss, 3-line initials (although, since the text lines are more widely spaced than those of the gloss, a 3-line initial within the text is larger than an initial of the same spacing in height in the gloss) in alternating dusty rose or in blue, both with some patterning in white, and with flourishing in white-patterned dusty rose; the tendrils of the flourishing end with trilobe leaves or gold balls; in the gloss on f. 1v, the ground of the painted initial is particolored, red and blue. In the gloss on these three leaves, only one 2-line initial with penwork flourishing: on f. 3v, an initial in red with purple penwork. In both texts, paragraph marks alternating in red or in blue. Running headlines: on the verso, "L" (for Liber), and on the recto, the roman numeral in alternating red and blue numbers, "III." Early modern foliation in the upper right corner of the recto: 43; 50; 51.
Written in southern France, possibly in Montpellier given its law school, during the times after the first quarter of the 14th century: either after 21 March 1314, when its text was promulgated by Clement V, or after 25 October 1317, when John XXII, in his bull "Quoniam nulla" promulgated it as an obligatory text. According to De Ricci, this manuscript was acquired from "Weyhe" in March 1921, although it is unclear which "Weyhe" was intended: either the bookstore of the family of Heinrich Weyhe in Salzwedel (some 110 miles west of Berlin, in the former Prussian Saxony), which only closed in 2021 at the death of the last owner, Helga Weyhe; or De Ricci may have intended by the name "Weyhe" the bookstore that belonged to a nephew of that family, Erhard Weyhe whose shop at 794 Lexington Avenue in New York City was active in the 1920s and 1930s; Erhard Weyhe died in 1972. Belonged to the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library.
Text in 2 columns, surrounded by commentary; 65-71 lines of commentary.
Leaves numbered 30-31 and 43, with [book] III in top margin.

Description
An account of the resource
Parchment; the lower portion of one leaf, including a very large empty bottom margin. 3 lines of text and 2 lines of superscript red 4-line staves (the topmost set of staves is cut away); written in a formal gothic book hand; music in square notation on 4-line red staves, with a custos at the end of each set of staves. 1-line initials in red with purple flourishing, or in blue with red flourishing. Rubrics in red. The cut-off upper portion may have contained a very nice initial.
Written in Italy during the second half of the 15th century. Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life. The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. This fragment was n. 31 in the Elson collection.

Description
An account of the resource
Parchment, one bifolium containing the first and the last leaf of, presumably, the first quire of the book (although there may have been a quire with chapter headings that preceded this opening of the text); in the center of the lower margin of the present f. 2, the catchword to the next quire, enclosed in a box: "maius"; 2 columns of 63 lines, ruled in lead; written in a formal gothic book hand. 8-line painted initial in pale pink (?) now much abraded, set on a burnished gold ground with infilling of scrolling leaves in red and blue, and bar borders across the top and bottom margins, and along the inner margin, in all cases matching the reach of the text; on the curve of the lower bar are a fighting rabbit and greyhound, both with wings (or swirling capes); the space containing the gold is heavily outlined in black. 6-line initial opening the text in parted red and blue, decorated with narrow strips of space left in void, infilled with red flourishing, and set on a squared ground with flourishing in purple (?). 2-line initials alternating red with purple flourishing, and blue with red flourishing; paragraph marks alternating red and blue.
Berengarius Fredoli, Inventarium iuris canonici, containing the key points in the Decretum, the Liber Extra and the Liber Sextus. Berengarius (1250-1323), bishop of B̌ziers and appointed cardinal in 1305, wrote the introductory letter of this text to Guillelmus de Mandagot, bishop of Embrun (1295-1311), and dated his letter from Tiveretus (?) on the Sunday after the feast of the Assumption in the year 1300, i. e. on 21 August 1300. This text has not been printed; comparisons here are to another manuscript: Paris, Bibliotḧque nationale de France, lat. 15415. See Giovanna Murano, Opere diffuse per exemplar e pecia. Textes et Études du Moyen ℗ge, 29. (Turnhout: Brepols, 2005), "Berengarius Fredoli," n. 226, p. 306, listing five manuscripts of this text known to her as having been copied from rented pecia; Murano does not list the present bifolium which has not yet been examined for pecia marks

An account of the resource
Parchment; formal gothic book hand in two sizes of script; 2 columns of 30 lines, ruled in lead (?). 2-line initials within the text area (except for the letter I, which is placed outside of the text area, and is equivalent to ca. 5 lines in height), alternating gold with dark blue (or black) flourishing, or blue with red flourishing. Rubrics in red. Foliation in red roman numerals in the center upper margin of the recto: CCXXII; what may be modern foliation is in pencil in the lower outer corner of the recto, "130."
Written in France during the first half of the 15th century. This manuscript uses the word "officium" to designate the introit of the mass; such usage is common to books of Carthusian, Dominican or Carmelite rite. Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life. The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library; initials BECPL stamped in lower margin of the recto. This leaf was n. 20 in the Elson collection; that information in the small ovel label on the uppermost corner of the recto: "No. 20, Elson Collection."

Parchment?; f. 1; 10 lines of text and of 5-line staves for the music. Written in a squared gothic book hand. Music in Hufnagelschrift with a custos at the end of each set of staves. Initials in alternating red or blue occupying the height of one line of text and one set of staves.

Written in Germany during the 15th century; it bears remembering that the head of St. Anne was held in the Stiftskirche St. Stephan in Mainz until 1510, when it was stolen and taken to D en in north Rhine-Westphalia (the church that housed this relic was completely destroyed in Allied bombing in 1944). Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life.
