The only thing I don't like about my field is that tracking down one thing can take an entire day's work.

Can anyone help me find a table of contents for this manuscript mentioned by Krusch?

One of the MSS I'm looking at for has some nice 11th C. musical notation. It's a hymn for the feast of St. Germanus of Paris.

Makes sense! Some places look like they'd be hard to read otherwise.

Disappointing conclusion to a manuscript 📖 search, but it was nice to receive such an informative reply from the keeper of manuscripts at the Universiteitsbibliotheek

Dear Sir/Madam, We have processed your call M240422456 about Help Locating MSS. Dear Kent Navalesi, Thank you for your message. I fear that both mss are now lost, as so many other mss the Bollandists used, several which were from Utrecht chapter houses such as Saint Salvator (Oudmunster). It seems that they obtained these books after Utrecht became a protestant city and the Catholic institutions were closed down and their books confiscated. Their collections were housed in the new City Library (founded 1584), which in 1636 also became the University Library. But the chapter houses were able to resist these confiscations, so that their collections became dispersed. That is especially the case of Saint Salvator, of which few mss remain, while the Bollandist refer to several of mss of Saint Salvator they used for the Acta Sanctorum. They must have bought them in the 17th century. What happened to the mss of the Bollandists I'm not sure about, but it seems that they were confiscated during the French and related revolutions, and many will have been sold or destroyed. There is certainly no ms with the Vita Marcelli Brevior in the present collection of Utrecht University Library. I wish you all the best with your research. with best wishes, Bart Jaski keeper of manuscripts
