Item Info
Language: Latin
Folio Number: front 65:7
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial H with the Nativity
Notes: These leaves can be dated to ca. 1430-1440.
Notes: This initial begins the first response of the first nocturn of Matins for the feast of the Nativity (Dec. 25), "Hodie nobis caelorum Rex de Virgine nasci dignatus est, ut hominem perditum ad caelestia regna revocaret." (On this day the King of heaven deigned to be born for us of a Virgin, in order to call fallen men home again to the heavenly kingdom).
Lewis E M 65:1-78 were once thought to have come from a single manuscript associated with the Cistercian monastery at Zwettl in Austria. It has been determined, however, that the leaves are from a number of separate manuscripts and were likely produced by a team of scribes and artists at the scriptorium of the Benedictine monastery at Melk.
