Written according to a roman font in 2 sizes; major headings in red and black ink; minor headings in an italic script using black ink. 2- and 1-line plain red initials. In vol. IV, running headlines of the names of the months in red. Bound, s. XVIII, in calf over wooden boards; 2 fore edge clasps; edges in blue or red. Written perhaps in Germany between 1767 (canonization of Joseph of Cupertino) and 1788 (vol. I, p. 1, in a noting hand in the lower margin: “1788 27 Aprilis F.(?) N.P.L. Haen <cropped>”); Heawood’s watermarks “Pro Patria,” 3696-3718, are of the eighteenth century. Copied for an Augustinian house, possibly one dedicated to Joseph: in vol. IV, p. 13, invitatory at matins, “Laudemus deum nostrum In veneratione beati josephi protectoris nostri.” Belonged to E. Kroencke. Date and source of acquisition by Henry E. Huntington unknown; there is no indication that the missing vol. III was ever held by the Huntington Library. Bibliography: De Ricci, 91.
