Provenance:
(1) James Thomlinson: 17th?-century pentrial. Other pentrials are in Latin and English, including 'After many
combates the minde waxeth fainte and dull', and the name 'Antony', repeated twice. A possible institutional inscription is partially legible under the scribbles: 'Bey[...] Coll.'?
(2) Anthony Birdsall (1877-1972), of Birdsall and Son, Northampton.
(3) Bernard Quaritch, London, September 1995.
(4) Schøyen Collection, MS 2059.
Text:
The text, from the Temporal, contains the Mass for the Easter Vigil, from the Paschal proclamation '[Ille, qui regressus ab inferis] humano generi' to the first reading ending 'Creavitque Deus ce[te grandia]' and, on the second leaf, from '[vinea enim] domini Sabaoth domus Israel est. Deus qui nobis ad celebrandum paschale sacramentum [...]' to 'in quo non est iniquitas: justus et sanctus Dominus'.
