Kenyon College Leaf 37
This leaf is from an Epsitolary, a manuscript containing the Gospels and Epistles (i.e., Letters) of the New Testament as well as lessons from the Hebrew Scriptures. It was copied in Italy in the mid-fifteenth century, and measures 29 x 21.5 cm. The script is an attractive, readable "Rotunda" (round) Gothic, with first letters of verses filled with yellow. The top margin has been trimmed, and some leaves show extensive erasure. See Denison University Leaf 37 for more information about this manuscript.
Text: 2 Maccabees 1:5; Ecclesiasticus 36:1-10 (recto); Daniel 3:49-51; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 (verso).
Reconstruction Note! In Ege's original manuscript, this leaf followed what is now Leaf 37 in the Denison University portfolio.
