    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Written in France during the second half of the 15th century; the calendar includes the feast of the Dominican, Vincent Ferrer who was canonized in 1455.  In addition, the dark colors in the backgrounds of the painted initials is typical of work done at the end of the century.  A slip from an auction catalogue is glued to the front pastedown of the first volume:  it presumably was retained here because it represents this present manuscript, although the book of hours described on the slip is said to have 164 leaves (as opposed to the present ff. 72), with &quot;14 beautifully painted miniatures&quot; (there are 9 in the book as it now stands); in addition, this slip labels the manuscript it describes as n. 959 in its catalogue, suggesting a very large sale; the slip is assumed to come from an auction catalogue (rather than a sales catalogue) because there is no price associated with it (and the very top of the following entry is just barely visible at the bottom of the slip).  The manuscript as it now stands, of 72 leaves, belonged to James Fraser Gluck (1852-1897); he had the book bound in its present red morocco, had the inscriptions placed on the front covers, and donated the now-two volumes (along with a large collection of materials relating to British and American authors) to the Buffalo Public Library in 1886, which is a very early date for interest in medieval manuscripts in the United States.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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, &quot;CL.&quot;  Small round label in the upper innermost corner of the verso, &quot;Elson n. 17.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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&#039;s Buffalo and Erie County Public Library.  This fragment was n. 17 in the Elson collection.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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&#039;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&#039;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).]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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, &quot;L&quot; (for Liber), and on the recto, the roman numeral in alternating red and blue numbers, &quot;III.&quot;  Early modern foliation in the upper right corner of the recto:  43; 50; 51.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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 &quot;Quoniam nulla&quot; promulgated it as an obligatory text.  According to De Ricci, this manuscript was acquired  from &quot;Weyhe&quot; in March 1921, although it is unclear which &quot;Weyhe&quot; 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 &quot;Weyhe&quot; 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&#039;s Buffalo and Erie County Public Library.]]></dcterms:description>

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&#039;s Buffalo and Erie County Public Library; initials BECPL stamped in lower margin of the recto.

In the lower margin of the recto, in modern ink (?):  No. 8.  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&#039;s Buffalo and Erie County Public Library.
