Leonardo Magionami Un codice medievale europeo conservato in America latina: Il Breviarum Romanum di Puebla in Messico This paper examines an important medieval manuscript now preserved in America at the Maria José Lafragua Library in Puebla, Mexico. Dating from the second half of the fourteenth century, this codex, which contains a breviary, can be considered the oldest medieval manuscript of European origin preserved in a Mexican public institution to date. Although the manuscript has been considered to be of French production on stylistic and ornamental grounds, further analysis of the liturgical content and the notes added to the calendar have shed light on where it was actually created and subsequently used.
