A German culinary calendar
Fragment of a Calendar, in Latin, manuscript on vellum [Germany, late 13th or 14th century].
A fragment of a Calendar in an elegant German hand, in which the scribe has indicated the feast days on which the monks might eat meat and fish.

208 x 140mm. A bifolium. For the months of May, June and August, written in black and red ink in a gothic script, text block: c.165 x c.90mm, capitals touched in red, dates and elevated feast days in red (reused as a binding fragment, the two interior pages browned, sewing holes visible, larger holes at the bottom margin touching the text in a few instances)

Provenance:
(1) Written in a German scriptorium in the 15th century, perhaps a religious house situated in the Rhine Valley: one of the inscriptions refers to the ‘pheodo in Rodesheim’, presumably the feud of Rüdesheim am Rhein, 30km east of Mainz.
(2) Notes in German in red ink: 'Fragment eines Strassburger? Calendar […] XIV Jahrhundert […]'
(3) Colker MS 509; acquired in 2003 from Quaritch.

Pork meat, sheep meat, fish, and ‘crapel’ are among the foods that the monks of the house in which the parent manuscript was written can be given on specified feast days.
