Fragments of a foliate border cropped from the Fitzwilliam Museum’s Murano Gradual cutting of the Dormition of the Virgin (Fitzwilliam accession number: Marlay cutting It. 18). The gradual was probably made for the Camaldolese monastery of San Michele, Murano. Dimensions: (1) 40 x 23 cm.; (2) 25 x 4 cm.; (3) 6 x 3 cm.; (4) 12 x 6 cm. Drawn in tempera with gold leaf. North Italian, probably from Venice. The cuttings are pasted to the mount and the versos are not visible. MS Typ 995. Houghton Library, Harvard University. The Houghton Library accession number 90M-16 and the former Fogg Art Museum accession numbers should no longer be used to refer to these fragments. The Fogg Museum numbers correspond to the present item numbers as follows: 1916.50 = no. 1; 1916.51 = nos. 2 and 3; 1916.52 = no. 4. Also available in an electronic version.
