Malogranatum: De Confessione (Liber Primus) Manuscript volume, 15th century, containing Book 1 of the "Malogranatum": 'De Confessione'. The volume consists of a paper text block with a calfskin blind-tooled binding over boards (not original). Main body text in black with red rubrics, highlights and paragraph marks throughout. N R Ker calls the script a "clear but ugly hybrida" and suggests the 'flex' punctuation mark (7) has been added later. On the inside of the front and rear boards the imprint of manuscript fragment pastedowns is visible. The fragments are now missing, but the imprints show they were both from a 12th century German manuscript. The rear pastedown had a list of antiphons and the text on the front pastedown shows the original manuscript may have been a treatise on music. Originally had two brass clasps, of which the remnants can be seen on the rear board. Holes for bosses (5 on the front, 5 on the back) can also be seen. The spine covering is a modern repair but the leather on the front and back boards may be original. Two manuscript annotations (16th century?) are visible on the back cover, perpendicular to the spine. 1438?
