Leaf from Jerome, Commentary on Matthew 27:47-56, in Latin, manuscript on parchment [probably Germany, eleventh century] Single leaf, with losses to margins and upper outer corner, single column of 25 lines in a good Romanesque hand, with occasional features suggesting German origin (note distinctive 'z' in 'lazarus' in last but one line on recto, formed from a 'h'-like letter with an extra half-loop at head of ascender, identical to that in the Pericope of St. Erentrud, made in Salzburg c. 1150: see Pracht auf Pergament, 2012, no. 58), pronounced grain pattern, a few small scrawls at edge from reuse on an account book (probably in sixteenth century), used as a pastedown and so with spots, stains and discoloured areas to reverse, overall fair and presentable condition, 212 by 171mm. The measured and square hand here, without the angularity or tendency to lean so common of German hands, finds its peers in a hands of the eleventh century, such as that of a Gregory the Great, Expositio in Canticum Canticorum, and a Moralia in Iob, both produced in Echternach in the eleventh century (now BnF., Latin 9737 and 9558; reproduced in F. Avril and C. Rabel, Manuscrits enluminés d'origine germanique, 1995, nos. 21-22, pl. xv-xvi).
