December 01, 2008: Calgary's 15th Century Breviarium Ratisponense
"It has survived wars, pestilence, religious reformation and the scribbled notes of unknown priests. Yet, the five-century-old Breviarium Ratisponense remains remarkably intact on the 12th floor of the University of Calgary's MacKimmie Library. The 15thcentury calf binding is original, as is the metal clasp that holds it together. Inside the back cover, two handwritten obituaries-- barely more than the names of the deceased--have been attached."
