[Gradual : Dominican use]

Gradual produced for a Dominican convent. 1-1412, 1512-5? (lacks seemingly 5 leaves, with a gap between 2 and 3, and one after 7). The Litany and the Common of the Saints includes a number of saints that were particularly venerated by the Dominicans such as St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Alexandria, while others were added by a later hand including saints canonized only in the 15th century and later, providing evidence that the manuscript was constantly in use throughout the centuries. Fol. 102v has an addition in the lower margin in a contemporary hand, referring to the feast of "Corpus Christi", which gives us a likely terminus ante quem for the production of the manuscript.
