Title: JM-155: Madame Caillaux could get expert help over here. 155
Summary: Editorial cartoon depicting the aftermath of the shooting of Gaston Calmette on March 16, 1914. Calmette was a longtime critic of the policies and politics of Joseph Caillaux, the Prime Minister of France, and as editor of the Le Figaro newspaper he published a letter belonging to Caillaux. Henriette Caillaux, a Parisian socialite and second wife of the Prime Minister, believed that Calmette would publish other private letters about the affair she had with her husband while they were both married to other people. Madame Caillaux met with Calmette at his office, shot him six times, and he died six hours later; she was acquitted three months after that because the murder was ruled a crime of passion. This cartoon shows the mass amount of public sympathy for Madame Caillaux in France and the United States. (Summary edited by Mary Delano, MU History Intern, Spring 2018)

Title: Catholic Church Liturgy (fragment)
Date: ca. 1350
Summary: A partial leaf from a liturgical manuscript on vellum, probably a church service book. The text on the recto is in a single column of 12 lines with ten 4-line staves, rule din red with neumes in black, and on the verso in a single column of 33 lines (no staves) ruled in red. The recto has text and chant of prayers for celebration of the Feast of [Saint] Mary Magdalene (22 July): the rubric reading "Sancte marie ma/gdalene ad primas vesperas super salmos diei. antyphon," (lines 1-2) and the text beginning: "Maria pio coniuncta ihesu osculando pedes..." (line 3). The verso contains a list of prayers (maunly collects?) for celebrating feasts of a number of saints and occasions, including the feasts of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The text is written in a Gothic textura book hand of good quality in two grades of formality: the text on the recto and that of larger size on the verso is written in the slightly less formal textualis semi-quadrata. There is frequent use of abbreviations including both contractions and suspensions. The music for the chant is written in neumes. The recto has a single larde initial "M" in red (the height of one stave plus one line) marking the opening of the chant for "Maria pio communita oscilando..." and on the verso are six large 2-line initials in alternating red and blue. This leaf was used as binding waste in making up a volume half its size, to which end it was heavily cut down to a size just smaller that the text block and rotated horizontally. A crease running horizontally accross the middle of the leaf shows the mark of the spine of the volume. (description provided by seller)
