Bible G, Leaf With The End Of I Esadras (Nehemiah), And The Beginning Of Ii Esadras, Recto, Unknown

Sacred Leaves Manuscript Collection

Esadras was originally conceived of as one book. According to tradition, a Jewish priest named Ezra wove together his own memoirs, the written recollections of Nehemiah, and various other historical documents to compile a text that would encourage the Jews. Though they were still under foreign rule, they had been able to return to their city, Jerusalem, and God was continuing to work among them.

Bible A, Leaf With The Beginning Of Hebrews, Recto, Unknown Dec 1199

Bible A, Leaf With The Beginning Of Hebrews, Recto, Unknown

Sacred Leaves Manuscript Collection

Unlike the many Epistles of Paul, Hebrews contains no formal salutation, which indicates that the Book was originally intended as a homily or treatise written for believers everywhere, as opposed to being addressed to one particular group. The prologue begins with an illuminated "I." The historiated "M" depicts Paul, with the halo to the left, in discussion with a Hebrew to the right (in the pointed hat, worn by and symbolic of Jews in thirteenth century Europe).

Leaf From A Lectionary, Germany, Verso, Unknown Dec 1099

Leaf From A Lectionary, Germany, Verso, Unknown

Sacred Leaves Manuscript Collection

As Missals began emerging sometime after the twelfth century and contained all the necessary texts for the Mass, Lectionaries became obsolete. They were often torn apart and the pages reused as bindings for more up-to-date service books. The survival of this leaf as a binding attests to the constant reuse of vellum, an expensive item for churches and monasteries.
