BAC Leaf Collection no. 0035: Hand-colored, in blue, green, and red. Affixed to a leaf inscribed by Brandenburg, describing his gift (sermons on the Song of Solomon by Bernard of Clairvaux or Gilbert of Hoyland). The top of the leaf is also annotated with the title of the work, probably by the monastery's librarian, Jakob Louber. From a collection of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century printed leaves compiled by Frederick Werther, with his enumeration stamped in ink.
The bookplate depicts an angel bearing a shield with the crest of Hilprand (or Hildebrand) Brandenburg of Biberach. Brandenburg donated his library to the Carthusian monastery at Buxheim circa 1480. The bookplate is usually accompanied by a manuscript annotation by Brandenburg identifying each donation. - Subject Terms:
