The Scribe and Provenance of Otto F. Ege’s Choir Psalter from the Abbey of St. Stephen, Würzburg, Dated 1499 (Gwara, HL 42)

Abstract

The recent discovery of three leaves of the Choir Psalter broken by Otto Ege (HL 42) establishes that the manuscript was copied by Matthias Hartung at (and for) the Benedictine Abbey of St. Stephens, Würzburg, in 1499. The manuscript counted among its previous owners Sir Thomas Phillipps and Leander van Ess.
