Provenance
  • A modern pencil inscription on the recto of the leaf reads "26-233" and another on the verso, in a different hand, reads "SC-44." Leaf 1 of the IWU Lamson collection. This set of nine leaves was gifted to Illinois Wesleyan University by Alfred (Class of 1939) and Helen Lamson. The Lamson donation was orchestrated by IWU's President, Minor Myers, Jr., who negotiated with Harry L. Stern, antiquarian book seller, regarding the purchase of the leaves (circa 1990) which were then donated to the University. A similar set of leaves is held by Loyola Marymount University and known as the Bruce Ferrini Liturgical Manuscript Leaf Collection. Ferrini likely sold these leaves as well.
