<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manycats, post: 6013327, member: 13761&quot;]Ex Libris has a lot more knowledge of and experience in researching this sort of material, which I seldom see (sigh...), but I can contribute that, from your first post, the two leaves with red/blue headers reading HERO (or is it MERO?) and DEV appear&nbsp; to be stylistically very similar to the simplest Gutenberg Bible pages, though they are clearly not, appearing to be in manuscript, and with too many lines - Gutenberg will have 40 or 42. DEV would almost certainly be Deuteronomy; not sure what HERO or MERO could be. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps they were manuscript versions in imitation of Gutenberg, or an earlier manuscript that influenced HIM. </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, a remarkable haul, and worth contacting dealers in manuscripts &amp; early printed material or auctions who have experience in the field.</p><p><br /></p><p>One think I find interesting is how crude, to be blunt, some of the leaves are - in books on the subject, one usually only sees the finest examples of printing &amp; illuminating, not the more everyday stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
