We warmly thank Hannah Goeselt<\/a>, responding to our blogposts, for sending information and images for parts of ‘Otto Ege Manuscript 14’ at Smith College<\/a>, Northampton, Massachusetts. The ‘moniker’ for the manuscript derives from the decisive impact upon it effected by Otto F. Ege<\/a> (1888\u20131951) and the place-number which its selected specimen leaves occupied in his monumental Portfolio of Fifty Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts, Western Europe, XIII\u2013XVI Century<\/a>, issued in forty numbered sets. Ege assigned the date of “1300 A. D.” to the Bible and its specimens.<\/p>\n
