Various items, including documents (such as Nuremberg rules for execution from 16th century, papal texts, legal statements) and fragments from books (such as parchment strips recovered from bindings, historiated initials, illuminations, and leaves drawn from various texts including the Vulgate Bible, commentaries on the Bible, breviaries, Psalters, books of hours, homilies, liturgical books with musical notation, books of law, works of Church Fathers such as Augustine and Jerome, works of classical authors such as Cicero and Livy, and works of various other authoritative authors such as Avicenna). Also included is a document written on a bifolium on vellum, from Thann (Alsace), dated 1499, listing saints' relics transferred from monstrances to a reliquary (here called a Tafel) in 1458 at the collegiate church of St. Thiébaut in Thann.

Also, a fragment of an unidentified Lauda from the Passion of Christ, in ottava rima, probably of mid-Italian origin. It describes St. Peter's denial, the trial of Christ before Caiaphas, the crowd's verdict, the flagellation, and the humiliation.

Also included is a leaf from an antiphonal, on vellum, with a miniature of a female saint preaching. The leaf (480 x 355 mm.) is from north-central Italy, probably around Bologna, ca. 1350. It includes 7 four-line staves in red, and a large initial "A" illustrating the verse Adaperiat dominus cor vestrum (2 Macc. 4). Music and text of a later date are added in the bottom margin.

Included in addition is a framed 1288 document on vellum from Abbess Jutta von Arnsberg of Freckenhorst, Germany, concerning an annuity for goods bought in connection with the annual feast of St. Martin's. The abbess's seal is attached to the document by its original tab.

Also included is a Spanish manuscript on vellum, conveying a piece of olive grove near Cordoba, dated 10 February 1503; and a small bronze seal matrix, used to seal documents, bearing an image of an Agnus Dei with a large flag on a long crucifix, with inscription "Ecce Agnvs Dei."

Also, a remnant of a 15th-century book of hours annotated and augmented in the following centuries, with an inscription on the front pastedown dated 1768 naming one of its owners: Jean Hersmulle Duport, doctor of theology (Sorbonne), who taught physics at the Sulpician Grand Seminary of St Irénée, and then became curate of Loire, a village between Lyon and Vienne (until 1791). With eight original vellum leaves from the manuscript, most with added texts. The contents are: 1. one folio numbered 17, with the end of the Gospel lesson of St. Matthew, an inscription in a later hand, and on the verso the capital letters DE LH (the rest blank); 2. one folio with four lines of Latin religious verse in French humanist minuscule script, below which is an erased inscription that can be read in ultraviolet light (naming "Jehan Frenier," with various place-names: probably Je[h]an Frenier, curé de Saint-Martin de Maulay, near Loudun), the verso blank; 3. six folios from the end of the book, the first being the conclusion of the Suffrages but with the following added: a complete prayer in 90 rhyming couplets of French, beginning "O Iesu roy de tout le monde / En qui toute bonte abonde / Je suis ta pauvre creature / Contemplant ta saincte figure / Se tenant a grands cloux de fer... Helas quel fers, helas quelz cloux / Ils furent forges longs et groux / Pour te faire plus de martyre" (a variant was printed in 1556 in Fr. Pierre Olivier, Le Mirouer du Chrestien), followed by "Les Sept Oraisons de St. Gregoire" complete in seven Latin stanzas; this followed by an inscription, "AU NOM DIEU / AMEN CES HEURES". Many medieval manuscripts were transmitted from generation to generation and abundantly annotated. This remnant reveals the kinds of texts deemed essential in such books of private devotion but omitted, for whatever reason, from the original commission.

Fragment from Saint Augustine's Expositio in evangelium Johannis, from Italy, circa 1100; leaf on vellum from a breviary, Flanders, circa 1350; and leaf on vellum from a large antiphonal, from Spain, circa 1525, with elaborate Moorish strapwork design on the borders and surrounding a large initial letter O. Also, a leaf from a 16th-century antiphonal from Italy, on vellum, with decorated initials; and a leaf from another antiphonal from Italy, circa 1500, with decorated initials made with a compass.

Also, a leaf from a Book of hours (Paris, circa 1500), with a color illustration showing the coronation of the Virgin; and a fragment of a manuscript bifolium from Thomas of Breslau's Practica medicinalis, subsequently used as a binding cover in a volume, with pieces of leather straps laced through the text (Italy, late 14th century).

Fragment from a codex by Justinian, with historiated initials including the head of a woman in a blue cloak (southern France, circa 1280).

Also, the last will of Margarita de Ballis, the wife of the Count de Ballis, in Alcamo, Sicily (1408), on paper with a watermark showing a hand with a flower, commonly found on paper in Europe. Also, a historiated border on vellum from the Great Choir Book of Ferdinand and Isabella, Castile, circa 1479-1492.

Two fragments of a commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, with a remark on werewolves, by Richard of Middleton (Ricardus de Mediavilla), circa 1400.

Also, a single folio on vellum from a gradual, from Eastern France or possibly Germany, circa 1480.

Also, eight leaves and a later colophon from the Cotterell-Throckmorton book of hours, use of Sarum, produced in England, circa 1425, probably for a chapel in an English church or cathedral. Illuminated, with initials in gold leaf, and rubrics giving instructions for a bishop, dean, cantor, chancellor, and treasurer, and ordering texts to be read "sine pronunciacione" and "sub silentio," suggesting communal devotion. The (16th-century) colophon instructs the reader to pray for the souls of Edward Cotterell, his wife Margaret, and their seven children; presumably they were the ones who donated the book to the church. The volume was later held in the library of Sir Robert Throckmorton (died 1791).

An illuminated leaf including the opening of Book IV, chapter 1 of the Grandes chroniques de France, with an illumination showing Saint Iago (Santiago) de Compostela appearing to Charlemagne in a vision. In the text, he instructs Charlemagne to come to Galicia and wrest Spain from the Saracens. He also tells Charlemagne to go to Galilee and liberate the Holy Places.

Also, a papal bull signed by Pope Innocent VIII, 1488; and a patristic manuscript in Greek, evidently a homily about St. John Chrysostom, 11th century. Also, a leaf of the Stimulus amoris by Pseudo-Bonaventure, in Old French translation, circa 1420. Two fragments in Greek, one from Gregory of Nicomedia's Sermo in S. Mariam assistentem cruci, circa 13th or 14th century, and the other the description of Jesus's entrance into Jerusalem, Matthew 21:1-19, 12th or 13th century.
