<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 8787364, member: 33"]Well, I believe this would be from an incunabulum (incunable), or early printed book. More about incunable: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incunable" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incunable" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incunable</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The pages may or may not be original... I mean could have been reprinted later. The original would have been some 500 years old.</p><p><br /></p><p>By searching the phrase "sant Amandus ist" I found this page which includes the text from the incunable numbered GW M11402, which includes that phrase and the words after it. <a href="https://gesamtkatalogderwiegendrucke.de/docs/M11402.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://gesamtkatalogderwiegendrucke.de/docs/M11402.htm" rel="nofollow">https://gesamtkatalogderwiegendrucke.de/docs/M11402.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That's about all that I know, without doing deeper research.
