<p>[QUOTE=&quot;William Trevaskis, post: 116903, member: 1628&quot;]Great info, thank you! I was also told that they monetary value was much higher as they were collected individually,&nbsp; hence the tearing of pages. </p><p><br /></p><p>UPDATE: I recently received some documentation from my aunt, who sent me the piece. The documents, found amongst my grandmother&#039;s files, indicated that the piece was discovered and sold by a man named Martin Slotkin. The analysis in the document (which was typed in 1967) states that the piece is from 16th century Spain and was discovered by Mr. Slotkin during a dig under a chair factory. There, he found pages and pages of these psalters under the earth, bringing them back to the U.S. for sale. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was also a document where the piece was appraised. Interestingly, the appraisal was for two pieces (valued at $250 each in 1967), but the two pieces are actually the front and back. Does anyone know if that is/was common practice on something like this? Thanks again for the great discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
