It is a calendar MS and the pages are folded into thirds.

They include pics of their girdle book, a book of hours and more. Enjoy!

Love your blog, I have been following it for some time. Im a conservator at The Huntington Library in Los Angeles. I just wanted to make a small clarification to your post regarding HM 47641. There is no Huntington Library at Berkeley. There is the Huntington Library and there is Berkeley but they are not one in the same. I think you accessed Huntington digital collections on Digital Scriptorium via UCB servers. The object is actually housed here at the Huntington in our collections. Those are our images. No big deal... Just wanted to make the correction. Let me know if there is ever something in our collections that would want to see.help in your quest to achieve book nerdiness... Keep writing! - J First off… Love your blog, I have been following it for some time. Im a conservator at The Huntington Library in Los Angeles.
