A separate, full-page printed Contents List stands at the front of the group.<\/p>\n<p>Ege\u2019s &#8220;Annotated Contents List&#8221; in a single page stands as a loose leaf at the front of the Portfolio case.<\/p>\n<p>The Portfolio gathers its specimen Leaves in a stack of individual framed mats, accompanied by their own printed Label.<\/p>\n<p>As characteristic for Ege&#8217;s Portfolios, the mats present hinged pairs of boards. They combine a windowed mat at the front and a plain mat at the back, attached by hinged tapes at one side. The mats can be opened upon the hinges to reveal the individual specimen Leaf (sometimes, more than one Leaf) within its \u2018sandwich\u2019. The revealed Leaf might in turn might be lifted partly on its own hinged gauze tapes attached at one side, to show the other side of the leaf.<\/p>\n<p>Their mats all have the same dimensions overall, so as to present a uniform group within the set. The back board is uncut. The window cut on the front board derives its specific size and shape in order to suit the specific specimen, albeit with a somewhat smaller opening than it. This approach produces the effect of some cropping at all sides, which masks the edges of the original.<\/p>\n<h3>Contents List: Manuscripts and Other Texts<\/h3>\n<p>The Contents List groups its entries chronologically and by genre, identified by medium. They divide into 4 parts (let us call them Parts I\u2013IV), starting with Manuscript Leaves (Part I) and moving on to printed materials spanning 5 centuries.<\/p>\n<h3>[Parts II\u2013IV]. The Printed Leaves<\/h3>\n<p>After Part I, the groups in the <strong>Contents List<\/strong> and the other <strong>Specimens<\/strong> of the Portfolio exhibit printed materials. Arranged chronologically, they start with specimens of early printing in the West (&#8220;Part II&#8221;), and move onto later centuries (\u201cParts III and IV\u201d). We consider these elements in other blogposts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>[Part I]<\/strong>. The <strong>Manuscript Leaves<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Manuscript Leaves<\/strong> form the first group of specimens in the <em>FBNC<\/em> Portfolio.

The principals are <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_Aquinas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Aquinas<\/a> (1225\u20131274) and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_Lombard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Lombard<\/a> (circa 1096 \u2013 1160). Other agents, across the centuries, have had a hand in copying the text in humanist script from its exemplar, commissioning the work, transmitting the copy from collection to collection across time and space, bringing it to the United States, distributing its dismembered pieces, researching the distribution patterns, and examining the fragments in their new settings, as well as in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>In his Labels, Otto Ege identified the leaves as pertaining to a copy in Latin of the <em>Commentary<\/em> by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_Aquinas\">Thomas Aquinas<\/a> upon Book I of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sentences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sentences<\/a> \u2014 a weighty text comprising 4 Books in all \u2014 composed in an earlier generation by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_Lombard\">Peter Lombard<\/a>. By its very nature, the text of the commentary introduces Aquinas, Dominican friar, priest, philosopher, and theologian, posthumously to Peter Lombard, scholastic theologian and Bishop of Paris. Both came from origins in Italy (south and north respectively) to study and teach in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The text amounts to an indirect sort of dialogue, or a disputation, over distance and time, between 2 prodigious Christian authors, in which the younger and later one perforce has the last say. The text introduces its readers to Aquinas at a rather early stage in the formation and articulation of his deeply philosophical theology.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sentences\">Libri Quattuor Sententiarum<\/a> (&#8220;Four Books of Sentences&#8221;) \u2014 Peter Lombard&#8217;s master work, composed circa 1150 \u2014 assembles a systematic compilation of theology which became a major textbook. It derives its name from the assembled <em>sententiae,<\/em> that is, &#8220;Sentences&#8221; or authoritative statements on biblical passages derived from the text of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bible\">Bible<\/a> and texts by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Church_Fathers\">Church Fathers<\/a>. Within the 4 Books, the author himself subdivided the material into chapters. Subsequently, many chapters were further subdivided, into &#8220;distinctions&#8221; (<em>Distinctiones<\/em>). The work served as a principal theological textbook for several centuries. Every master of theology was required to prepare a commentary on the <em>Sentences<\/em>, as part of the examination system.<\/p>\n<p>Aquinas&#8217;s response to the assignment ascended to the stature of a textbook in its own right.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14924\" style=\"width: 693px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14924\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14924 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/St-thomas-aquinas-by-Carlo-Crivelli-via-Wikimedia-Commons-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"London, National Gallery, Demidoff Altarpiece, Detail: Thomas Aquinas.

The wide margins offer, as intended, expansive scope for additions. Many comments, or glosses, by different hands are densely placed both in the margins around the columns and between the lines of text.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, Aquinas encountered the source text in one or more manuscript copies. They \u2013 as well as his own \u2013 may well have held such forms of visual \u2018dialogue\u2019 or \u2018argument\u2019 between the main text and its comments.<\/p>\n<h3>Aquinas&#8217;s <em>Commentary<\/em> on the <em>Sentences<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Studies of Aquinas and his large body of work abound, not least because of the breadth, scope, and impact of his intellect and output. Reference materials for approaching the work or works appear in such sites as the guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/aquinas-in-english.neocities.org\/\">Thomas Aquinas in English: A Bibliography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Aquinas&#8217;s commentary on Peter Lombard&#8217;s textbook, the <em>Scriptum super libros Sententiarum<\/em> (&#8220;Writing on the Books of the Sentences&#8221;), stands securely within the development or evolution of his own monumental oeuvre. About this Commentary, the circumstances of its composition, and its approach, a brief summary might set the stage. For example, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/aquinasinstitute.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aquinas Institute<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The <em>Commentary on the Sentences<\/em> dates from St. Thomas\u2019s first teaching years in Paris, where he began teaching around the year 1252. As a new teacher, St. Thomas was expected to prepare lectures based on the <em>Sentences<\/em> of Peter Lombard, thus demonstrating his knowledge of and insight into both theology and philosophy. In the <em>Sentences<\/em>, St. Thomas was presented with a general theology text which draws upon the writings of the Church Fathers. This was a significant opportunity for St. Thomas to delve into the beauty of theology. Although this text is a commentary on the <em>Sentences<\/em>, it also contains much original theological thought of St. Thomas himself as he departs at times from the text that he is commenting on to explore other facets of the teaching set forth by Peter Lombard. As this work comes from the earlier years of St. Thomas\u2019s career, it is evident that it represents St. Thomas\u2019s seminal theological thought that is later developed and sharpened in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Summa_Theologiae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Summa Theologiae<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Summa_Contra_Gentiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Summa Contra Gentiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/aquinasinstitute.org\/operaomnia\/sentences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Sentences Commentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The Texts, Editions, and Translations<\/h3>\n<p>Among freely available editions online, examples include:<\/p>\n<h4>1.

But also they can, in some cases, provide useful clues for the specific patterns of transmission beyond his collection.<\/p>\n<p>In combination, conflation, or diversion, Ege&#8217;s several approaches to the Labels for the manuscript provide scraps of evidence or information about the manuscript as it came to him, about its features as they appeared to him, and about the way(s) in which he came to understand it as he worked to separate its leaves from each other and to scatter them widely into different hands, both public and private.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8216;Diagnostic&#8217; Terms for the Distributions of Leaves<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because Ege&#8217;s provisions of information for the individual leaves about to be dispersed in various ways were themselves so variable, it can be helpful to pay attention to the terms themselves in Ege&#8217;s Labels and handwritten annotations.<\/p>\n<p>The variability may partly have arisen as Ege&#8217;s understanding of the manuscript materials deepened or extended, with changes or refinements in such aspects as the assignments of dates or date-ranges. But it must have resulted in no small measure from the varieties in approach to reporting and recording salient information pertaining to the manuscripts as wholes. Encountering that remission requires careful attention to the specific terms and forms of description which Ege employed at different times for the materials emanating from a single manuscript.<\/p>\n<p>Such care can repay effort, as the terms which travel with a given manuscript specimen sometimes serve as indirect, and occasionally clear, evidence for the method by which that specimen left Ege&#8217;s hands, workshop, and collection.<\/p>\n<p>An example is demonstrated in <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/more-discoveries-for-otto-ege-manuscript-61\/\">More Discoveries for &#8216;Otto Ege Manuscript 61&#8217;<\/a>. A sales &#8216;clipping&#8217; which travelled with one of its leaves, and which happily remained in view within an uncropped image of that leaf (as sent to me by its institution for higher quality resolution for reproduction), goes far to show that the leaf departed through the 1944 Sale Catalogue.<\/p>\n<p>The clipping focuses upon Item 26 on page 7 \u2014 reproduced in Gwara, Otto Ege&#8217;s Manuscripts, figure 43 (page 255). The clipping of the printed item, including its number, is still attached to the surviving cropped segment of Ege&#8217;s characteristic ivory-colored mat, ruled in vermilion framing lines, with which the leaf came to its collection.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9422\" style=\"width: 671px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9422\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9422 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Graduate-Theological-Union-Recto-with-Catalogue-Listing-1300-at-180-dpi-661x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Recto of Leaf Opening the Book of Zachariah, plus Clipping from its Sale Catalogue.

Often the metadata for the Leaves quote those Labels, in whole or in part. Sometimes, an identification of the span of text is proferred, as with <a href=\"https:\/\/cudl.colorado.edu\/luna\/servlet\/detail\/UCBOULDERCB1~59~59~427898~124938\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leaf 40 at Boulder<\/a> at the University of Colorado, and <a href=\"https:\/\/curiosity.lib.harvard.edu\/medieval-renaissance-manuscripts\/catalog\/34-990101238530203941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">MS Typ 955<\/a> at the Houghton Library.<\/p>\n<p>An exemplary case is offered by the description for Folio 135, catalogued as Seattle, WA, <strong>University of Washington<\/strong>, University Libraries, <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu\/digital\/collection\/mhm\/id\/201\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UW MS 83<\/a> (with image of the recto only). See also above.<\/p>\n<p>Besides identifying the location of the text (as an &#8220;excerpt&#8221;) within Aquinas&#8217;s Commentary (&#8220;Book I, Distinction 19, Questions 2 and 3&#8221; on the recto), and citing the first and last words on the leaf (the <em>Incipit<\/em> and <em>Explicit<\/em>), the description mentions specific features of script, ruling, layout, and condition. It results from direct observation of the object itself (or of the image of its recto), thereby noting and reporting some salient bibliographical and related characteristics specific to the leaf and to its manuscript context.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Text in brown ink. Initials 13 mm (3 lines) high at the start of Question 3 and Article 1.<br \/>\nGuide letter visible to the left of the large red A.<br \/>\nOther arguments and counter-arguments are set off by a colored paragraph mark, in alternating blue and red.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Layout: Two columns, 37 lines each. Drypoint ruling, ruling lines redrawn on verso with leadpoint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Script: Use of Arabic numerals; Clearly-spaced letters and words; Upright d; Few abbreviations; Strokes over i; Feet on the minims; Continued use of e for ae so likely an early example of humanist. When several i&#8217;s are in a row, the last one is elongated. Double-bowl g and tall s at the end of words.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Condition: Excellent condition overall, some lines faint (probably water damage).

In this excerpt from his commentary on Peter Lombard\u2019s Sentences, he considers the three persons of the trinity, and the definition of eternity.<\/p>\n<p>*****<\/p>\n<h2>Specimens<\/h2>\n<p>Some Specimens present the text similarly to the &#8216;New&#8217; Leaf, as they present an enlarged 3-line initial (red or blue) for a significant section, followed by a line or part-line of capital letters in ink. Paragraph-markers, alternately in red and blue, signal subdivisions of text within the sections.<\/p>\n<p>Leaf 40 in FOL Set 19 (<strong>Stony Brook University<\/strong>) offers such a case. On the verso, Column b (or \u2018vb\u2019) begins with the inset 3-line initial <em>A<\/em> (for <em>AD<\/em>) in blue pigment, with a cue-letter <em>a<\/em> to one side.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14714\" style=\"width: 789px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14714\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14714 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/spc_ege_000104080_40_001-1-Stony-Brook-Ege-FOL-40-Aquinas-Front-adjusted-779x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Otto F.
