1-1212 1314(through f. 158v, the end of Psalms) 14-2612 2710(through f. 324) 2812 2916 302.

< Catchwords variously in inside lower margin or in center of lower margin; catchword for quire 28 (in the Interpretationes) decorated with brown ink flourishes.

2 columns of 57 lines; 3 columns of 55-60 lines in the Interpretationes; 2 columns of 60 lines in art. 4. Ruled in lead, single horizontal bounding lines, double vertical bounding lines, and triple rules between the columns; art. 4 ruled in ink. Round prick marks visible in the lower margins of a few leaves (e.g. ff. 121-144).

 <

12- to 15-line parted red and blue initials with red and blue flourishing; 2-line initials outside the written space in red with blue flourishing or in blue with red; 1-line initials alternating red and blue; 2-line unornamented initials in red and 1-line initials touched in red in the Interpretationes. Running headlines, chapter numbers placed in the margins, and paragraph marks alternating red and blue. Rubrics frequently omitted.

<

Marginal notes in contemporary and later hands. On the front flyleaf recto, an inscription in red capitals, s. XIX, “Sacra Biblia,” and on the verso of the same leaf, “Sacra Biblia ad usum Petrarchae” (see below); a scrap of paper, also s. XIX, inserted between ff. 160-161 reads “Postilla di mano del Petrarca,” apparently in reference to the otherwise missing verse supplied in the margin of f. 161 for Prov. 13, 13.

 <

Bound in 1972 in brown leather over bevelled wooden boards, with a single fore edge clasp. Pastedowns and flyleaves of washed parchment from the previous binding: the text is a commentary on the gospel of John, chapters 2 and 3, written in Italy, s. XIV, approx. 265 × 197 (220 × 155) mm., , . Formerly bound in parchment, apparently the same as the flyleaves, over boards, and sewn on 3 thongs; boards and parchment retained in Library files.

 <

Written in Italy in the first half of the thirteenth century.

A note, s. XIII, on f. 2v, “Hic eusebius fuit de cremona ut narat Cirillus in epistola ad augustinum” suggests, through its orthography and interest in Cremona, early ownership, if not origin in northern Italy. Wrongly said to have belonged to Petrarch and to have been among the books from his house near Milan, and to have been left by him to the Carthusians of Garegnano. In certain copies of Giacomo Filippo Tomasini, Petrarcha redivivus (2nd ed., Padua 1650) 281-86, a list of 114 codices, which, ostensibly having belonged to Petrarch, are said to have been bought in Padua by a “Marchese Linterno”; HM 1083 is n. 3 in that list. Of these presumed 114 codices, 26 later belonged to the Visconti di Modrone; ceded in 1834 by Duke Carlo Visconti di Modrone (d. 1836) to the Milanese engineer Giuseppe Bruschetti (1793-1871), who sold them to the bookdealer Gaetano Schiepatti; his sale catalogue of the Linterno codices issued in 1865. Offered to, but refused by the Italian government, because of their false attribution of ownership to Petrarch. Bought by another Milanese bookdealer, Luigi Arrigoni; HM 1083 is n. 2 in his sale catalogue (1883). At Arrigoni's death (1886), the remaining Linterno codices acquired by J. Rosenthal; placed by him at auction. Sotheby's, 12 April 1899; HM 1083 as lot 538 to Quaritch. Belonged to John Boyd Thacher (1847-1909) of New York; his sale, Anderson, New York, 8 January 1914, pt. II, n. 254 to G. D. Smith.

Coat of arms placed in the lower margins of ff. 7v-8, very slightly overlapping the flowers of the border decoration: per pale, 1 argent a chevron or between 3 pheons the two in chief lying fesswise point to point and that in base erect sable; 2 or two lions combatant argent supporting a bezant. The first (although with a chevron gules) is given by J. Papworth, Ordinary of British Armorials (London 1874) 462 as Kyffin, co. Salop, agreeing with the note on f. 177 by the widow of “Gyffrey Kyffen” (d. 1479). Later notes on the same leaf show that the manuscript belonged to John Somers, 1st Baron Somers (1650/1-1716), whose library passed to his brother-in-law, Sir Joseph Jekyll (1663-1738); his sale, London, 26 February 1739, probably n. 5000 to James West (1704?-1772); the West sale, London, Langford, 27 February 1773, possibly n. 78. Thomas Windus acquired the book (ca. 1820?) from the booksellers John and Arthur Arch; the name Ansley Windus is neatly penned on f. i above an erasure; Thomas Windus sale, 27 February 1858, n. 197. A partially erased note reads “I bought this book at Leigh and Sotheby at auction for...” and seems to be signed “W. L<?>”; another partially erased note, in blue ink, appears to read “T<?> Henry <?>.” Sale of Edwin Henry Lawrence, Sotheby's, 9 May 1892, n. 299 to Quaritch. Belonged to Robert Hoe: Bierstadt (1895) 33; Cat. (1909) pp. 21-22; his sale, Anderson, New York, 1911, pt. I, n. 2128 to G. D. Smith;

A note, s. XIII, on f. 2v, ?Hic eusebius fuit de cremona ut narat Cirillus in epistola ad augustinum? suggests, through its orthography and interest in Cremona, early ownership, if not origin in northern Italy. Wrongly said to have belonged to Petrarch and to have been among the books from his house near Milan, and to have been left by him to the Carthusians of Garegnano. In certain copies of Giacomo Filippo Tomasini, Petrarcha redivivus (2nd ed., Padua 1650) 281-86, a list of 114 codices, which, ostensibly having belonged to Petrarch, are said to have been bought in Padua by a ?Marchese Linterno?; HM 1083 is n. 3 in that list. Of these presumed 114 codices, 26 later belonged to the Visconti di Modrone; ceded in 1834 by Duke Carlo Visconti di Modrone (d. 1836) to the Milanese engineer Giuseppe Bruschetti (1793-1871), who sold them to the bookdealer Gaetano Schiepatti; his sale catalogue of the Linterno codices issued in 1865. Offered to, but refused by the Italian government, because of their false attribution of ownership to Petrarch. Bought by another Milanese bookdealer, Luigi Arrigoni; HM 1083 is n. 2 in his sale catalogue (1883). At Arrigoni's death (1886), the remaining Linterno codices acquired by J. Rosenthal; placed by him at auction. Sotheby's, 12 April 1899; HM 1083 as lot 538 to Quaritch. Belonged to John Boyd Thacher (1847-1909) of New York; his sale, Anderson, New York, 8 January 1914, pt. II, n. 254 to G. D. Smith.

Twenty-three full page miniatures on the versos of inserted singletons (rectos are blank) by a somewhat more competent artist than the person who did the smaller miniatures. The miniatures are surrounded by heavy frames of pink or blue segments with gold quatrefoils at the corners; the outer borders around the miniature and those around the text on the facing page are in the same style and hand of black ink spray, with blue and gold acanthus at the corners and centers, and with flowers, strawberries and gold trilobe leaves; in the margins above the miniatures a series of small holes suggests that a protective covering was once sewn in (one piece of silk remains loose in the manuscript, also with a series of holes across one end). The miniatures are: f. 7v (15 O's of St. Bridget), Salvator Mundi; a coat of arms in lower margins of ff. 7v-8 (see below); f. 14v (Trinity), Gnadenstuhl; f. 17v, John the Baptist holding the Lamb on a book; f. 19v, Thomas of Canterbury being assassinated before the altar; f. 21v, George slaying the dragon; f. 23v, Christopher; f. 25v, Anne holding a diminutive Mary on her lap, who, in turn, holds the baby Jesus; f. 27v, Mary Magdalene; f. 29v, Catherine of Alexandria with wheel, sword and Maxentius; f. 31v, Barbara; f. 33v, Margaret; f. 35v (Hours of the Virgin), Jesus at Gethsemane, and on f. 36, above 7 lines of text, Annunciation; f. 43v (Lauds), Betrayal of Christ, and on f. 44, Visitation; f. 57v (Prime), Pilate washing his hands, and on f. 58, Nativity; f. 62v (Terce), Scourging at the pillar, and on f. 63, Annunciation to the shepherds; full page illumination presumably once present before f. 66 (Sext) now missing; on f. 66, Adoration of the Magi; f. 69v (None), Crucifixion, and on f. 70, Presentation in the temple; f. 73v (Vespers), Deposition from the Cross, and on f. 74, Massacre of the Innocents; f. 77v (Compline), Entombment, and on f. 78, Flight into Egypt; f. 103v (Penitential psalms), Last Judgment, with Christ sitting on a rainbow, Mary and John on either side, and the dead rising from their graves; f. 121v (Office of the Dead), burial in a churchyard; f. 143v (Commendation of souls), angels lifting 2 souls in a sheet to God the Father; f. 157v (Psalms of the Passion), Man of Sorrows, with the emblems of the Passion; f. 164v (Psalter of St. Jerome), Jerome in his study with the lion at his knees, the wounded paw raised.

Coat of arms placed in the lower margins of ff. 7v-8, very slightly overlapping the flowers of the border decoration: per pale, 1 argent a chevron or between 3 pheons the two in chief lying fesswise point to point and that in base erect sable; 2 or two lions combatant argent supporting a bezant. The first (although with a chevron gules) is given by J. Papworth, Ordinary of British Armorials (London 1874) 462 as Kyffin, co. Salop, agreeing with the note on f. 177 by the widow of ?Gyffrey Kyffen? (d. 1479). Later notes on the same leaf show that the manuscript belonged to John Somers, 1st Baron Somers (1650/1-1716), whose library passed to his brother-in-law, Sir Joseph Jekyll (1663-1738); his sale, London, 26 February 1739, probably n. 5000 to James West (1704?-1772); the West sale, London, Langford, 27 February 1773, possibly n. 78. Thomas Windus acquired the book (ca. 1820?) from the booksellers John and Arthur Arch; the name Ansley Windus is neatly penned on f. i above an erasure; Thomas Windus sale, 27 February 1858, n. 197. A partially erased note reads ?I bought this book at Leigh and Sotheby at auction for...? and seems to be signed ?W. L<?>?; another partially erased note, in blue ink, appears to read ?T<?> Henry <?>.? Sale of Edwin Henry Lawrence, Sotheby's, 9 May 1892, n. 299 to Quaritch.

Two sets of 2 holes on ff. i and 147, both originally pastedowns suggest long strap and pin closings on an earlier binding.

 <

Written on the Continent (Bruges?) for English use; Ithamar and Paulinus in the calendar may indicate Rochester as the destination. The figure of a man kneeling before pope and emperor (f. 45v) may be intended to represent the owner of the book.

<

The signature “Elizabeth Wyndesor” in an early sixteenth century hand on f. ii may be that of Elizabeth Blount, wife of Andrew Windsor; the same name occurs in a volume of Lydgate's poems, Oxford, Bod. Lib., Hatton 73, ff. 1v, 122 and 123 where an “Elyzabeth Wyndesore” is said to have died in 1531. Another sixteenth century owner was “Anne,” to whom the book is dedicated on f. 146v: “Mystres Anne this boke and my hartte ys all yors/ Gode send you good chaunce and meny good New Yersse/ And al halloue that be with yn this boke exprest/ send me yor owne my desyre and harttes Reste/ En dieu essperaunce. A.W.” The signature on f. ii of “Sir John Carrill,” s. XVII, may be that of Lord John Caryll (1625-1711) whose heir was his nephew, John Caryll (1666?-1736); the latter's grandson held the sale in 1790 referred to on f. ii verso: “Benjamin Rotch, Dunkerque. Bought at a Sale of Lord Carryll's Library 6mo 15th 1790.” Belonged to John Boyd Thacher of New York (1847-1909); his sale, Anderson, New York, 8 January 1914, pt. II, n. 253 to G. D. Smith.

Atlas of the world from Western Europe and Africa to Indochina, containing 27 maps and 26 tables:

> 240,259c888,965 < 27. ff. 53v-54: Ceylon (i.e., Taprobana, spelled “Tarrogane” on map and “Trapobanem” on accompanying table) < 28. ff. 3-53: Europe Tabula Prima. Prima europe tabula insulas brittanicas... finis Asiae tabularum duodecim; [f. 54v, 2 lines of text:] tunc velut natum permistica santificatum fulgura de sursum depellit omni malignum. <

Twenty-six tables alternating with maps; the tables are similar in text and format to the Ebner Manuscript in the Lenox Library at the New York Public Library, published in facsimile by E. L. Stevenson, Geography of Claudius Ptolemy (New York 1932) following p. 168. Published in many versions, the first with maps printed in Rome, 1478. See N. A. E. Nordenskiöld, Facsimile Atlas to the Early History of Cartography (Stockholm 1889) 9-29.

 <

Parchment,

ff. i (early modern paper) + 54 (27 bifolia with maps on center openings and accompanying tables on preceding reverse sides) + i (early modern paper); 457 × 295 mm. (map size, 375 × 440 mm. on double page openings, with many variations).

Bifolia attached sequentially with tabs.

<

Tables in a humanistic hand with modern form arabic numerals.

<

Text framed in narrow bands of patterned color (or laurel leaves) outlined with narrow strips of silver or gold, each table beginning with scroll lettered in alternating red and blue square capitals; opening initials 3- or 2-line gold on white-patterned blue ground with parted green and pink infilling. Alternating red and blue 1-line initials placed outside written space; rubrics in red or blue.

Maps are mainly trapezoidal in shape, all maps have rectilinear meridians (except for the engraved world map, which is curvilinear), outside borders are bands of gold leaf. Contemporary arabic numbering of the maps at the top center of the page preceding each map, omitting the engraved world map and counting the British Isles map as number 1, which may indicate that the engraved map was added somewhat later. Heawood (see below, p. 240) suggests it may have been an early proof impression on parchment of Berlinghieri's printed volume. Possibly grouped for binding according to the numbers 1 to 16 written, s. XV/XVI on ff. 1, 7, 11, 15, 19, 21, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39, 41, 43, 47, 49, 51 (thus including the engraved world map).

<

Modern penciled foliation in top right corners.

 <

Nomenclature of maps in black or red ink, with area names in gold, blue or red, and scholia in black or purple ink; cursive noting hand and some use of square capitals; no compass directions or rhumb lines; borders of maps formed by the numbered latitude and longitude scales; no distance scales; sea areas covered with purple wash, cities indicated by small gold circles and mountain ranges with wide ocher bands; no decoration except scrollwork at tops of maps and wind-heads on the engraved world map.

 <

Bound, s. XVIIIin, in Pembroke binding of English red morocco, gilt; rebacked. Volume is now disbound and kept in modern case; binding preserved separately.

 <

Made in Italy (judging from the humanistic hand, the abbreviations used and the ornamental borders of the tables), probably ca. 1480; it seems to be an early work with the maps showing a large number of place names still in Greek, lacking the various symbols later used for cities, and omitting the maps that were included in later recensions; Joseph Fisher (see below, 1:370-71) suggests a close similarity to the early work of Pietro del Massaio.

<

Purchased ca. 1700 by Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke (1656-1733) for his library at Wilton House, Salisbury. Pembroke sale, Sotheby's, 26 June 1914, lot 166 to Karl Wilhelm Hiersemann (1854-1938) whose press mark “Kh.9” appears on front flyleaf. Quaritch Handlist, 1923, n. 35.

Nineteen large miniatures usually in arched compartments above 4 lines of text; most borders consist of a decorated wide gold band in a U-shape around both text and miniature, with an outer border of ivy vine and regularly arranged, brightly colored acanthus leaves and flowers. The miniatures, by several artists of the workshop of the Master of the Duke of Bedford, are: f. 13 (Gospel of John), in a square compartment above 5 lines of text, John on Patmos with his eagle holding one end of the scroll, and the devil stealing his inkwell; the acanthus leaves of the outer border in lush, dense foliage form the U-shape frame, and are surrounded by an ivy design of thin, swirling pink or blue branches; f. 15 (Luke), in the same configuration and border as f. 13, the evangelist is shown painting a picture of the Virgin; f. 17 (Mark), configuration and border as on f. 13, Mark sits at his desk writing, with the lion on the floor in front of him; f. 18v (Matthew), configuration and border as on f. 13, Matthew writes while the angel kneels before him; f. 28 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, seen through 3 pale pink arches enclosing respectively the angel, the lilies (within another “frame” of gold curtains), and Mary; the U-shape border consists solely of lush, dense acanthus leaves of bright orange, olive green, rose, red, golden brown and blue, which form spaces for 6 medallions of angels playing musical instruments against burnished gold grounds; the normal ivy leaf decoration has mainly been crowded out, and is reduced to a few gold motifs; f. 52 (Lauds), Visitation, including a young girl accompanying Mary; in the background against a high horizon are 3 islands or peninsulas, and a galleon floating on the river; border as on f. 28; f. 63v (Prime), Nativity, with the Baby lying in the manger on a corner of the Virgin's cloak; behind Mary is an orange and white bed; in the medallions of a border as on f. 28 are angels, men, dogs and sheep, all growing from flowers (reproduced in Meiss, fig. 53); f. 69v (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds and a shepherdess with a distaff; f. 74v (Sext), Adoration of the Magi; f. 79 (None), Presentation in the temple seen through pale pink architecture; f. 83v (Vespers), Flight into Egypt, with an angel accompanying the Holy Family and a broad river in the background; f. 91 (Compline), Coronation of the Virgin by an angel flying above her together with other angels, as she kneels in prayer before God the Father; f. 98 (Penitential psalms), David on a parapet of his castle above a river praying to God who appears in a circle of gold rays among monochrome blue angels; the background is reminiscent of that in Jan van Eyck's portrait of Chancellor Rolin before the Madonna, reproduced, for example, by M. Meiss, French Painting in the Time of Jean de Berry: The Boucicaut Master (New York 1968) fig. 493; f. 119 (Hours of the Cross), with Mary, John and Mary Magdalene on Christ's right along with the 2 Longinus': the soldier who pierces Christ's side and the Longinus who cures his blindness by placing a drop of Christ's blood in his eye; on Christ's left are the soldiers and the converted centurion who holds a scroll bearing the legend “Vere filius dei erat iste”; the border has the same thin swirling pink and blue branches as the borders of the Evangelist portraits; f. 127 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost, with Mary centered between 2 columns and exactly below the dome and the Dove; diapered background; f. 134 (Office of the Dead), Burial scene in a churchyard, with 2 men lowering the shrouded corpse into the grave while the small naked soul, aided by the archangel Michael, escapes from the claws of a black devil and is pulled up through an aperture in the sky into heaven where God the Father awaits him; f. 182 (Doulce dame de misericorde), the Virgin standing, holding the Child who has his right arm around her neck and clutches a string of coral beads with the other; 2 angels support a cloth of honor behind them; the pose is directly related to Jan van Eyck's Madonna at the Fountain (dated 1439) in the Musee Royale in Antwerp; in the manuscript, however, there is a canopy above the Virgin, and the fountain has been omitted; see, for example, E. Panofsky, Early Netherlandish Painting (Harvard University Press 1953) fig. 255; f. 188 (the 5 Wounds), Man of Sorrows with Mary and John sitting respectively in front and in back of the tomb, while two angels stand behind holding the instruments of the Passion, and a host of orange angels frames the arch; this same scene in Keble College MS 39, f. 164, reproduced in Parkes, Keble College, fig. 91; f. 192 (suffrage to the Trinity), God the Father in a brocade and jewelled robe supports the dying Christ, while the Dove perches on Christ's shoulder, with angels at the 4 corners holding the instruments of the Passion; a ruffled gold-starred blue cloud frames the miniature. Small miniatures in the margins, unframed and based on green grass, approximately 40 × 20 mm.: f. 193 (All Saints), placed tightly against the bar frame of the text, a group of male saints among which are identifiable Stephen, James the Greater, Andrew and Lawrence; f. 193v (Assumption of Mary), the Virgin wearing a gold dress, and being supported by 2 angels within a blue cloud; f. 194 (Cross), 2 angels supporting the cross with the INRI legend at the top; f. 195, Michael in full armour, vanquishing the devil; f. 195v, John the Baptist pointing to the nimbed Lamb he holds in his arms; f. 196, Peter with the keys and Paul holding an open book and leaning on the sword; f. 196v, Andrew with open book and his cross; f. 197, John the Evangelist blessing the snake-filled chalice he holds in his left hand together with a palm leaf; f. 197v, James the Greater with staff and open book; f. 198, Thomas the Apostle with lance and open book; f. 198v, Bartholomew with flaying knife and open book; f. 199, Matthew with open book; f. 199v, Jude with the bludgeon and Simon holding an open book; f. 200v, Matthias holding a quill and an open book, evidently through confusion with Matthew the Evangelist; f. 201, Luke with quill and open book; f. 201v, Mark with quill and open book; f. 202v, Stephen with a rock on his head; f. 203, Lawrence with his grate; f. 203v, Vincent dressed in a dalmatic; f. 204, Denis holding his head; f. 205, Christopher, the Christ Child on his shoulders; f. 205v, George on his horse, killing the dragon; f. 206, Martin cutting his cloak; f. 206v, Nicholas blessing the three children, one of whom is stepping out of the barrel; f. 207, Maurus in Benedictine robes with an abbot's crozier; f. 207v, Anthony abbot with the pig and flames; f. 208, Fiacre holding a shovel; f. 208v, Catherine of Alexandria with broken wheel and sword; f. 209, Margaret emerging from the dragon's back; f. 209v, Genevieve with the angel lighting her candle as the devil, using bellows, tries to blow it out; f. 210, Mary Magdalene holding the jar of ointment; f. 211, Anne standing next to the child Mary with one arm protectively around her shoulder, and holding an open book with the other hand.

Blue rubrics for the Gospel sequences and the 2 prayers to the Virgin, thereafter in red. Full borders on every page, consisting of a gold and color U-shaped frame around the text, often terminating in an orange and blue grotesque; outer border of black ivy vine and gold motifs. Similar borders in the calendar, which also include in the lower margin of the recto a miniature of the monthly occupation, and in the middle of the outer margin of the recto a roundel with the zodiac sign. Erased inscription on f. 211v below the text.

Nineteen large miniatures usually in arched compartments above 4 lines of text; most borders consist of a decorated wide gold band in a U-shape around both text and miniature, with an outer border of ivy vine and regularly arranged, brightly colored acanthus leaves and flowers. The miniatures, by several artists of the workshop of the Master of the Duke of Bedford, are: f. 13 (Gospel of John), in a square compartment above 5 lines of text, John on Patmos with his eagle holding one end of the scroll, and the devil stealing his inkwell; the acanthus leaves of the outer border in lush, dense foliage form the U-shape frame, and are surrounded by an ivy design of thin, swirling pink or blue branches; f. 15 (Luke), in the same configuration and border as f. 13, the evangelist is shown painting a picture of the Virgin; f. 17 (Mark), configuration and border as on f. 13, Mark sits at his desk writing, with the lion on the floor in front of him; f. 18v (Matthew), configuration and border as on f. 13, Matthew writes while the angel kneels before him; f. 28 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, seen through 3 pale pink arches enclosing respectively the angel, the lilies (within another ?frame? of gold curtains), and Mary; the U-shape border consists solely of lush, dense acanthus leaves of bright orange, olive green, rose, red, golden brown and blue, which form spaces for 6 medallions of angels playing musical instruments against burnished gold grounds; the normal ivy leaf decoration has mainly been crowded out, and is reduced to a few gold motifs; f. 52 (Lauds), Visitation, including a young girl accompanying Mary; in the background against a high horizon are 3 islands or peninsulas, and a galleon floating on the river; border as on f. 28; f. 63v (Prime), Nativity, with the Baby lying in the manger on a corner of the Virgin's cloak; behind Mary is an orange and white bed; in the medallions of a border as on f. 28 are angels, men, dogs and sheep, all growing from flowers (reproduced in Meiss, fig. 53); f. 69v (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds and a shepherdess with a distaff; f. 74v (Sext), Adoration of the Magi; f. 79 (None), Presentation in the temple seen through pale pink architecture; f. 83v (Vespers), Flight into Egypt, with an angel accompanying the Holy Family and a broad river in the background; f. 91 (Compline), Coronation of the Virgin by an angel flying above her together with other angels, as she kneels in prayer before God the Father; f. 98 (Penitential psalms), David on a parapet of his castle above a river praying to God who appears in a circle of gold rays among monochrome blue angels; the background is reminiscent of that in Jan van Eyck's portrait of Chancellor Rolin before the Madonna, reproduced, for example, by M. Meiss, French Painting in the Time of Jean de Berry: The Boucicaut Master (New York 1968) fig. 493; f. 119 (Hours of the Cross), with Mary, John and Mary Magdalene on Christ's right along with the 2 Longinus': the soldier who pierces Christ's side and the Longinus who cures his blindness by placing a drop of Christ's blood in his eye; on Christ's left are the soldiers and the converted centurion who holds a scroll bearing the legend ?Vere filius dei erat iste?; the border has the same thin swirling pink and blue branches as the borders of the Evangelist portraits; f. 127 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost, with Mary centered between 2 columns and exactly below the dome and the Dove; diapered background; f. 134 (Office of the Dead), Burial scene in a churchyard, with 2 men lowering the shrouded corpse into the grave while the small naked soul, aided by the archangel Michael, escapes from the claws of a black devil and is pulled up through an aperture in the sky into heaven where God the Father awaits him; f. 182 (Doulce dame de misericorde), the Virgin standing, holding the Child who has his right arm around her neck and clutches a string of coral beads with the other; 2 angels support a cloth of honor behind them; the pose is directly related to Jan van Eyck's Madonna at the Fountain (dated 1439) in the Musee Royale in Antwerp; in the manuscript, however, there is a canopy above the Virgin, and the fountain has been omitted; see, for example, E. Panofsky, Early Netherlandish Painting (Harvard University Press 1953) fig. 255; f. 188 (the 5 Wounds), Man of Sorrows with Mary and John sitting respectively in front and in back of the tomb, while two angels stand behind holding the instruments of the Passion, and a host of orange angels frames the arch; this same scene in > Keble College > MS 39 > , f. 164, reproduced in > Parkes, Keble College > , fig. 91; f. 192 (suffrage to the Trinity), God the Father in a brocade and jewelled robe supports the dying Christ, while the Dove perches on Christ's shoulder, with angels at the 4 corners holding the instruments of the Passion; a ruffled gold-starred blue cloud frames the miniature. Small miniatures in the margins, unframed and based on green grass, approximately 40 × 20 mm.: f. 193 (All Saints), placed tightly against the bar frame of the text, a group of male saints among which are identifiable Stephen, James the Greater, Andrew and Lawrence; f. 193v (Assumption of Mary), the Virgin wearing a gold dress, and being supported by 2 angels within a blue cloud; f. 194 (Cross), 2 angels supporting the cross with the INRI legend at the top; f. 195, Michael in full armour, vanquishing the devil; f. 195v, John the Baptist pointing to the nimbed Lamb he holds in his arms; f. 196, Peter with the keys and Paul holding an open book and leaning on the sword; f. 196v, Andrew with open book and his cross; f. 197, John the Evangelist blessing the snake-filled chalice he holds in his left hand together with a palm leaf; f. 197v, James the Greater with staff and open book; f. 198, Thomas the Apostle with lance and open book; f. 198v, Bartholomew with flaying knife and open book; f. 199, Matthew with open book; f. 199v, Jude with the bludgeon and Simon holding an open book; f. 200v, Matthias holding a quill and an open book, evidently through confusion with Matthew the Evangelist; f. 201, Luke with quill and open book; f. 201v, Mark with quill and open book; f. 202v, Stephen with a rock on his head; f. 203, Lawrence with his grate; f. 203v, Vincent dressed in a dalmatic; f. 204, Denis holding his head; f. 205, Christopher, the Christ Child on his shoulders; f. 205v, George on his horse, killing the dragon; f. 206, Martin cutting his cloak; f. 206v, Nicholas blessing the three children, one of whom is stepping out of the barrel; f. 207, Maurus in Benedictine robes with an abbot's crozier; f. 207v, Anthony abbot with the pig and flames; f. 208, Fiacre holding a shovel; f. 208v, Catherine of Alexandria with broken wheel and sword; f. 209, Margaret emerging from the dragon's back; f. 209v, Genevieve with the angel lighting her candle as the devil, using bellows, tries to blow it out; f. 210, Mary Magdalene holding the jar of ointment; f. 211, Anne standing next to the child Mary with one arm protectively around her shoulder, and holding an open book with the other hand.

23 long lines, also in the calendar; no ruling visible.

Written by Franc. Wydon, who signed the dedication on f. 1; he has used a variety of scripts; square capitals on f. 1, italic on the cartouches with Latin verses on ff. 1v-2 and on those in the calendar; the main body of the text is in an upright humanistic script. For another manuscript made for Claude d'Urfé, and, although not signed by Wydon, in the same italic script as used in HM 1102, and with the same decoration, see London, Victoria and Albert Museum, L. 1964-19571, a Traicté à la louenge de Dieu by Victor Brodeau with the inscriptions (f. 2v) “Escript à Rome l'an Iubilé du 1550” and (f. 30) “Escript pour Monseigneur Claude d'Urfé, chevalier de l'ordre et gouverneur de Monseigneur le Daulphin, Conseillier du roy et son Ambassadeur au saint Siege apostolique”; for plates, see J. I. Whalley, The Pen's Excellencie; the calligraphy of western Europe and America (Tunbridge Wells 1980). A third manuscript, unsigned, but written in a humanistic script attributable to Wydon is Paris, B.N. n.a. lat. 15062, a pontifical made for Claude d'Urfé's successor in Rome, Georges d'Armagnac; the manuscript is dated 1557 in the borders of ff. 34v-35 (although Georges d'Armagnac is not known to have been in residence in Rome at that date); see V. Leroquais, Les Pontificaux Manuscrits (Paris 1937) 2:240-41 and pl. 138 (illumination only). Wydon's signature does appear in a book of meditations copied for Georges d'Armagnac in Rome, 1543, now Chantilly, Musée Condé, MS 102 (1398); see L. Dorez, Le psautier de Paul III (Paris [1909]) pl. 30-32: pl. 30 shows an architectural opening folio similar to that in HM 1102, and the same humanistic script as the main body of text in HM 1102; pl. 31-32 show the italic script. In the Chantilly manuscript, Wydon identifies himself as “britannus,” which Dorez interprets as “breton” (p. 24, n. 2).

Twenty-two large miniatures,1 the majority executed, s. XVin, in the style of the Master of Lucon2; a second artist, contemporary to the first, worked on the supplemental materials; his work coincides with that of the second scribe. At the end of the fifteenth century, part 2 was added to the book with its 3 miniatures by an artist working in the style of Jean Colombe; this artist also retouched the illustration of Part 1 in varying degrees. The miniatures of part 1 occur on the first recto of the quires, except for those on ff. 32, 56 and 65, which are positioned on one of the two rectos of the center bifolium. On f. 14 (Pericopes of the Gospels), John on Patmos with an eagle and a devil, completely done in the ca. 1490 period with continuous painting around the original text and initial, which now appears as if on a scroll; the original spray border is faintly visible below the later painting. On f. 21 (Matins), Annunciation; the faces, angel's wings and the Virgin's hair are retouched ca. 1490; U-shape border around the miniature of acanthus leaves spiraled around a rod; outer border of black ink sprays with gold leaves, flowers, birds and grotesques. The border has been repainted, ca. 1490, in the lower and outer sides, with a narrative sequence: Joachim ejected from the temple by the priests; he prays in the fields; he meets Anne at the Golden Gate; they bring the Virgin to the temple; the Virgin weaving. On f. 32 (Lauds), Visitation; the trees, landscape, hair and faces have been repainted; U-shape inner border of grotesque masks strung along a gold bar; outer border of black ink sprays with gold leaves and putti. On f. 45 (Prime), Nativity; the faces, Joseph's mantle and probably the blue cherubim appear over-painted; U-shape inner border formed by a gold bar and flowers; in the black ink spray outer border, the animal grotesques seem to be retouched in silver. On f. 51 (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds; comparatively little retouching, only on the angel's face, the trees and grass; U-shape inner border of a gold bar with leaves; grotesques in the usual black ink spray outer border. On f. 56 (Sext), Adoration of the Magi; the faces, trees and the dark blue garments have been retouched, as have the wild men in the border, wherever dark blue or silver occur; U-shape inner border consists of a string of blue flowers. On f. 61 (None), Presentation in the Temple; faces and the areas in dark blue or silver are retouched; U-shape inner border in the form of a gold band with geometric designs; birds in the outer border, some of which were overpainted in silver. On f. 65 (Vespers), Flight into Egypt; faces, trees and Joseph's deep blue mantle are retouched; U-shape inner border of a string of gold crowns; battling cupids in the outer black ink spray border may be unfinished. On f. 73 (Compline), Coronation of the Virgin; the faces, hair and probably the dark blue are added (although some of the dark blue may be the original undercoat, lacking the final modelling); U-shape inner border as a gold bar decorated with leaves; figures of the prophets in the outer border. On f. 97 (Penitential psalms), Last Judgment; Christ showing his wounds sits on the curved rainbow with Mary and John on each side; Christ's hair and beard have been repainted to represent God the Father; the faces are also retouched; U-shape inner border consists of a gold bar of trumpet and leaf patterns; the outer border of oak leaves and acorns (repainted in silver) and hybrids battling, also retouched. On f. 117 (Office of the Dead), a funeral scene; the faces are retouched; U-shaped gold bar with leaves and berries around the miniature; in the outer border are 4 hooded figures, reading, whose faces appear unfinished with only the green-tinged underpainting applied; the dark blue garments also seem to lack the final modelling. On f. 161 (Hours of the Trinity), Gnadenstuhl, without the Dove; corresponding to the change of script at this point is a change of artist; also changed are the borders: the inner bar border is reduced to a simple 2-segmented strip to the right of the illustration; the black ink sprays are more sparse, and may have been traced over in a heavier black. On f. 165 (Hours of the Dead), Raising of Lazarus; done by the same painter as the Trinity; same simpler and more sparse border, with its black ink sprays probably reinforced later. On f. 169 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost, by the first artist and scribe; the faces and hair are apparently retouched; U-shape inner border formed of a gold bar with a stream of blue trumpet blossoms; birds in the outer border. On f. 175 (Hours of All Saints), Coronation of the Virgin, as she holds the Child, by the second artist and scribe; a frame surrounds the miniature; sparse black ink spray in the border, perhaps retraced; a green parrot in the lower margin. On f. 179 (Hours of the Eucharist), completely repainted, ca. 1490, over what was probably the second artist's work, as the sparse spray remains visible under the paint, and the script is that common to sections illustrated by him. The miniature depicts a bishop and a deacon kneeling before an altar with a monstrance which shows the image of the Crucifixion on the Host; across the lower margin, a woman receives the consecrated Host from a priest, and then exchanges it with a turbaned Jew for a tunic; in the last scene the Jew kneels before the bleeding Host which has been stabbed by a dagger; see M. A. Lavin, “The Altar of Corpus Domini in Urbino,” Art Bulletin 49 (1967) 3-10. As on f. 14, the text has been incorporated into a later scroll, held by 2 angels. On f. 183 (Hours of the Cross), Crucifixion, done by the first artist, and the text by the first scribe; the faces, body of Christ and hair were retouched ca. 1490; U-shape inner border as a gold bar decorated with colored leaves; the outer border includes soldiers, somewhat retouched in silver. On f. 191 (Hours of the Virgin), Creation of Adam and Eve, completely in the overpainted style of ca. 1490; it originally would have had the decoration of the second artist, with whom are associated the sparse black ink sprays, visible under the repainting, and the script of the second copyist; the text space has been transformed into a scroll held by 2 angels. The scene shows Adam and Eve kneeling before God while the Devil looks on from behind rocky hills; in the vignettes below, the snake with a female head. On f. 195 (Hours of St. Catherine), completely in the ca. 1490 style, presumably with the work of the second artist underneath; the text is set onto a scroll held by 2 angels; the continuous series of scenes show Catherine praying as angels break the wheel into pieces, a large crowd of people, and a number of slain youths in the lower margin. On f. 203 (prayer to the Trinity); this introduces Part 2, copied ca. 1490, and illustrated by the painter who retouched or repainted the preceding Part 1. In the Trinity depicted here, God the Father sits on a throne, a dove flies from his mouth to the Host set on a chalice and bearing the same shadow image of the Crucifixion as on f. 179; the border is of acanthus leaves, strawberries, grotesques and 2 angels supporting a coat of arms (see below). On f. 213 (prayer), Man of Sorrows with the emblems of the Passion and Mary and John on either side; in the continuous border, the scenes of Noli me tangere, the Crucifixion, Christ before Pilate, and the Road to Calvary; all are by the ca. 1490 painter. On f. 222 (Obsecro te), Virgin nursing the Child; an acanthus border, which includes a pelican; done ca. 1490 by the painter of Part 2.

Major initials, 4- and 2-line, in white-patterned blue or pink against a colored ground (for the 4-line initials) or against a gold ground (for the 2-line initials), both infilled in gold with trilobe leaves; secondary initials, 1-line, gold with purple or black penwork, or blue with red. In Part 2, 2-line initials, painted gold against maroon or grey grounds. Band borders the length of the text, occurring at the presence of a 2-line initial, and consisting of acanthus leaves, flowers, rayed gold dots, in 2 styles: the first appears unfinished (lacking the shading in the leaves), is placed in the outer margins and stops after f. 50; the second style is usually placed to the right of the text and occurs sporadically before f. 50, and exclusively thereafter; the second style may include grotesques or strawberries. There are no band borders in Part 2. Rubrics in red for Part 1, in brownish red for Part 2. Ribbon line fillers in blue and gold in Part 1.

The first portion of the manuscript, ff. 1-202v, was copied at the beginning of the fifteenth century in two stages (probably concurrent). A first scribe copied the more usual texts of a book of hours, including the short hours of the Holy Spirit and of the Cross; he collaborated with the first artist who worked in the style of the Master of Lucon. A second scribe and illuminator were responsible for the less common material (the short hours of the Trinity, the Dead, All Saints, the Eucharist, the Virgin and St. Catherine) which was then meshed with the standard texts to convert the material to a full week of specific devotions. At the end of the century, ca. 1490, a later owner in the south of France added ff. 203-244 and had the illuminations of the first part retouched, sometimes extensively, by an artist whose style derived from that of Jean Colombe.

<

This later owner's coat of arms, f. 203: or a tree proper fructed or on a chief azure a rose gules between 2 leaves (?) in pale or. His name may have been “Julian,” as that saint is invoked in the suffrage on f. 210, and the initial “G” appears in the prayers, ff. 216, 220, 224; the prayer on f. 218v reads “... Sana me domine et libera me de isto languore B. et a presenti tribulatione G. ab omni infamia...” Acquired ca. 1830 by Sir John Hayford Thorold of Syston Park; his book plate and monogrammed label on the front pastedown; his sale, Sotheby's, 12 December 1884, lot 965 to Quaritch; in the Quaritch General Catalogue 6 (1887) n. 35711, and in that firm's Hand-list (1890) n. 11. The manuscript belonged to E. Dwight Church (1835-1908); his ex libris on the pastedown with “400 Eng” penned on the lower margin; in his Catalogue... of English Literature (1909) vol. 1, n. 400 with a plate of f. 21. A pencilled note on f. ii calls the manuscript “Heures de la Rose,” using the name first applied in the 1887 Quaritch catalogue and taken up in the Church catalogue.

On f. 195 (Hours of St. Catherine), completely in the ca. 1490 style, presumably with the work of the second artist underneath; the text is set onto a scroll held by 2 angels; the continuous series of scenes show Catherine praying as angels break the wheel into pieces, a large crowd of people, and a number of slain youths in the lower margin. On f. 203 (prayer to the Trinity); this introduces Part 2, copied ca. 1490, and illustrated by the painter who retouched or repainted the preceding Part 1. In the Trinity depicted here, God the Father sits on a throne, a dove flies from his mouth to the Host set on a chalice and bearing the same shadow image of the Crucifixion as on f. 179; the border is of acanthus leaves, strawberries, grotesques and 2 angels supporting a coat of arms (see below). On f. 213 (prayer), Man of Sorrows with the emblems of the Passion and Mary and John on either side; in the continuous border, the scenes of Noli me tangere, the Crucifixion, Christ before Pilate, and the Road to Calvary; all are by the ca. 1490 painter. On f. 222 (Obsecro te), Virgin nursing the Child; an acanthus border, which includes a pelican; done ca. 1490 by the painter of Part 2.

Band borders the length of the text, occurring at the presence of a 2-line initial, and consisting of acanthus leaves, flowers, rayed gold dots, in 2 styles: the first appears unfinished (lacking the shading in the leaves), is placed in the outer margins and stops after f. 50; the second style is usually placed to the right of the text and occurs sporadically before f. 50, and exclusively thereafter; the second style may include grotesques or strawberries. There are no band borders in Part 2. Rubrics in red for Part 1, in brownish red for Part 2. Ribbon line fillers in blue and gold in Part 1.

The first portion of the manuscript, ff. 1-202v, was copied at the beginning of the fifteenth century in two stages (probably concurrent). A first scribe copied the more usual texts of a book of hours, including the short hours of the Holy Spirit and of the Cross; he collaborated with the first artist who worked in the style of the Master of Lucon. A second scribe and illuminator were responsible for the less common material (the short hours of the Trinity, the Dead, All Saints, the Eucharist, the Virgin and St. Catherine) which was then meshed with the standard texts to convert the material to a full week of specific devotions. At the end of the century, ca. 1490, a later owner in the south of France added ff. 203-244 and had the illuminations of the first part retouched, sometimes extensively, by an artist whose style derived from that of Jean Colombe.

Lavishly decorated with 25 full page miniatures, set within painted gold architectural frames by the illuminator referred to as the Master of Morgan 85 by Plummer, Last Flowering, nn. 108b, 109b, 118; miniature(s?) apparently derived from woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer, cf. his “Small Woodcut Passion,” datable ca. 1509-11, as the source of the miniature on f. 65v.1 Ten of these, depicting sorrowful scenes, are in grisaille (grey, white, gold, flesh tones, and red for the blood), and tend to be on a somewhat larger scale than the full color illustrations. Most of the grisaille pages are on the verso and face a full color illumination on the recto for the Hours of the Virgin: ff. 36v-37 (Matins), Christ before Pilate and the Annunciation; ff. 51v-52 (Lauds), Scourging at the pillar and Visitation; ff. 61v-62 (Prime), the Mocking of Christ and Nativity; ff. 65v-66 (Terce), Pilate washing his hands as Christ is led away, and Annunciation to the shepherds; ff. 69v-70 (Sext), the Road to Calvary and Adoration of the Magi; ff. 73v-74 (None), Crucifixion and Presentation in the temple; ff. 77v-78 (Vespers), Deposition and Flight into Egypt; ff. 84v-85 (Compline), Entombment and Assumption of the Virgin. The two remaining illustrations in grisaille are on f. 26 (Passion according to John), Betrayal of Jesus, while Peter cuts off Malchus' ear, and on f. 140 (Office of the Dead), Raising of Lazarus. The remaining full color illustrations are: f. 13 (Mass of the Virgin), the Virgin teaching the Christ Child to read; f. 91v (Advent office), the Virgin surrounded by her attributes, each labelled on a scroll (as often found in early printed books of hours); f. 100 (Hours of the Conception), the meeting of Joachim and Anne before the Golden Gate; f. 106 (Hours of the Cross), the Risen Christ and emblems of the passion; f. 110 (prayers), two angels supporting a chalice with the wound of Christ; f. 118v (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 123 (Penitential psalms), David penitent. Evangelist portraits for the pericopes, ff. 21, 22v, 23v and 25, 10-line, within gold bar frames, outlined in red; similar frames enclose the 9- to 6-line miniatures for each of the suffrages. Calendar decoration consists of illustrations of the monthly occupations on the recto and of the signs of the zodiac on the verso, placed in rectangles across the top of the folio (55 × 77 mm). A less skillful painter has done the illustration of the calendar, the suffrages, and probably the Attributes of the Virgin, f. 91.

Initials, 3- or 2-line, in white acanthus on a gold ground, or in colors on a colored ground with infilling of flowers or berries on gold; 1-line initials, gold, on a ground alternating red, blue or light brown; ribbon line fillers in colors with many variations or as gold logs. The rubrics alternate line by line gold, red, and blue. Every page, except for those with full page miniatures, with full borders, some of which are traced, but with variation in colors and details and in many styles: as multicolored acanthus leaves against a ground of painted gold with black flecks; as illusionistic flowers, or pearl-like berries, or grapes, and insects, also against a painted gold ground; as rope designs; as trellis patterns; as fantastic vases or cornucopiae; most frequent is the compartmentalized border with flowers and grotesques, in considerable variety: background colors may include unusual dark tones of black, grey, brown or olive green; divisions may be in the shape of hearts, fleur-de-lis, scrolls (some with legends: Ave Maria Gratia Plena, or, Domine Iesu Christe fili dei vivi). Many borders bear the initials of Franciscus de Mello (ff. 14, 35, 60v, 65, 138v, 161v, 166v, 182v), of his sister, Maria Manuel (ff. 25v, 32v, 35v, 39v, 42v, 138, 166, 178v), or “A.S.” (ff. 60, 77, 90v, 134).

Written in France at the beginning of the sixteenth century at the order of Franciscus de Mello for his sister, Maria Manuel, as stated in the colophon on f. 188v, where there is also a coat of arms: per pale: 1, gules two bars or and six roundels argent, 2, 2 and 2; 2, gules a lion rampant or; the dexter side is similar to the impaled shield for Mello e Castro in Rietstap, vol. 4, pl. 183, which is gules a double traverse cross and six roundels argent, 2, 2, and 2.

Lavishly decorated with 25 full page miniatures, set within painted gold architectural frames by the illuminator referred to as the Master of Morgan 85 by > Plummer, Last Flowering > , nn. 108b, 109b, 118; miniature(s?) apparently derived from woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer, cf. his ?Small Woodcut Passion,? datable ca. 1509-11, as the source of the miniature on f. 65v.1 Ten of these, depicting sorrowful scenes, are in grisaille (grey, white, gold, flesh tones, and red for the blood), and tend to be on a somewhat larger scale than the full color illustrations. Most of the grisaille pages are on the verso and face a full color illumination on the recto for the Hours of the Virgin: ff. 36v-37 (Matins), Christ before Pilate and the Annunciation; ff. 51v-52 (Lauds), Scourging at the pillar and Visitation; ff. 61v-62 (Prime), the Mocking of Christ and Nativity; ff. 65v-66 (Terce), Pilate washing his hands as Christ is led away, and Annunciation to the shepherds; ff. 69v-70 (Sext), the Road to Calvary and Adoration of the Magi; ff. 73v-74 (None), Crucifixion and Presentation in the temple; ff. 77v-78 (Vespers), Deposition and Flight into Egypt; ff. 84v-85 (Compline), Entombment and Assumption of the Virgin. The two remaining illustrations in grisaille are on f. 26 (Passion according to John), Betrayal of Jesus, while Peter cuts off Malchus' ear, and on f. 140 (Office of the Dead), Raising of Lazarus. The remaining full color illustrations are: f. 13 (Mass of the Virgin), the Virgin teaching the Christ Child to read; f. 91v (Advent office), the Virgin surrounded by her attributes, each labelled on a scroll (as often found in early printed books of hours); f. 100 (Hours of the Conception), the meeting of Joachim and Anne before the Golden Gate; f. 106 (Hours of the Cross), the Risen Christ and emblems of the passion; f. 110 (prayers), two angels supporting a chalice with the wound of Christ; f. 118v (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 123 (Penitential psalms), David penitent. Evangelist portraits for the pericopes, ff. 21, 22v, 23v and 25, 10-line, within gold bar frames, outlined in red; similar frames enclose the 9- to 6-line miniatures for each of the suffrages. Calendar decoration consists of illustrations of the monthly occupations on the recto and of the signs of the zodiac on the verso, placed in rectangles across the top of the folio (55 × 77 mm). A less skillful painter has done the illustration of the calendar, the suffrages, and probably the Attributes of the Virgin, f. 91.

Initials, 3- or 2-line, in white acanthus on a gold ground, or in colors on a colored ground with infilling of flowers or berries on gold; 1-line initials, gold, on a ground alternating red, blue or light brown; ribbon line fillers in colors with many variations or as gold logs. The rubrics alternate line by line gold, red, and blue. Every page, except for those with full page miniatures, with full borders, some of which are traced, but with variation in colors and details and in many styles: as multicolored acanthus leaves against a ground of painted gold with black flecks; as illusionistic flowers, or pearl-like berries, or grapes, and insects, also against a painted gold ground; as rope designs; as trellis patterns; as fantastic vases or cornucopiae; most frequent is the compartmentalized border with flowers and grotesques, in considerable variety: background colors may include unusual dark tones of black, grey, brown or olive green; divisions may be in the shape of hearts, fleur-de-lis, scrolls (some with legends: Ave Maria Gratia Plena, or, Domine Iesu Christe fili dei vivi). Many borders bear the initials of Franciscus de Mello (ff. 14, 35, 60v, 65, 138v, 161v, 166v, 182v), of his sister, Maria Manuel (ff. 25v, 32v, 35v, 39v, 42v, 138, 166, 178v), or ?A.S.? (ff. 60, 77, 90v, 134).

In the calendar, roundels at the foot of the recto depict the monthly occupations; roundels at mid-margin on the verso show the zodiac symbols. Band borders running the length of the text in the outer margin, usually between two pink lines, but occasionally with a gold strip on the text side, triggered by the presence of a 2-line initial; when the border is called for on both recto and verso of a leaf, it is traced. 3- and 2-line initials, usually in white-patterned blue against burnished gold grounds with infilling of colored trilobe leaves, or rarely, with an infilling of naturalistic flowers. Occasionally the initial itself may be blue with gold or white shading as if a ribbon or a leaf, set against a brick red ground with infilling of naturalistic flowers or of painted gold acanthus leaves. 1-line initials in burnished gold with infilling of pink or blue against a ground of the other color; ribbon line fillers in the same colors; initials within the text touched in yellow.

Two full page illuminations, both on the versos of added singletons: f. 1v, a coat of arms (see below), suspended by a green belt from gold gothic tracery and enclosed by a simple gold picture frame; in the border flowers made from jewels hang from thin gold acanthus branches, against a deep orange-red ground; f. 66v (Office of the Dead), in paler tones than the other miniatures, Last Judgment, with Christ sitting on a rainbow, his feet on a crystal globe and the sword and olive branch on either side of his head, with the blessed gathered behind him, and the dead rising from their graves below. Six large miniatures above 6 lines of text in the style of the artists of the Grimani Breviary, enclosed by simple arched frames, with naturalistic flowers, insects or objects in the outer border; the miniatures are: f. 13 (Hours of the Cross), Betrayal with Judas in a bright yellow robe kissing Jesus, as Peter holds his still unsheathed sword, and Malchus crouches in the foreground, grimacing in pain; f. 20 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, with the Virgin kneeling in front of a long bench in a spacious room; in the foreground are the vase of lilies and a pair of slippers; f. 53 (Penitential psalms), the prophet Nathan, with his hand on David's shoulder, encourages him to repent; David with red eyes and his hands folded in prayer, looks up to a golden opening in the sky, against a landscape of rocky hills, a castle and other towns in a far blue distance; f. 67 (Office of the Dead), Raising of Lazarus, helped by Peter who unties the ropes around his wrists, while his sisters kneel in prayer, and a man with a shovel and another covering his nose, look on; f. 85 (O domine ihesu criste adoro te in cruce pendentem), Mass of St. Gregory; in the outer border grey and pink flowers, some in a blue and white vase with the IHS monogram; f. 93 (Ave sanctissima maria mater dei regina celi), the Virgin and Child, possibly by a different artist, in a style resembling Gerard David; for a similar pose, see the Grimani Breviary, Venice, Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, MS Lat. I, 99 (2138) f. 830v; in the outer border of this miniature: a red panel lettered in gold “Maria Mater Dei [?],” and niches in gothic architecture containing statues, one of which may be intended to represent Pope Sixtus IV. Sixteen smaller miniatures, 45-55 × 43-50 mm., on leaves with full borders in the same styles: f. 14 (Hours of the Cross, Prime), Christ before Pilate; the opening leaf for terce is missing; f. 15 (Sext), Road to Calvary, with one of Christ's tormentors kicking him; f. 16 (None), Crucifixion with Mary and John, both red-eyed from weeping; f. 17 (Vespers), Deposition from the Cross; f. 18 (Compline), Pietà with John on one side and Mary Magdalene on the other; f. 26 (Hours of the Virgin, Lauds), Visitation, with Elizabeth half-kneeling before Mary (see the Grimani Breviary, f. 610v); f. 33 (Prime), Nativity, with 2 angels with brightly colored wings adoring the Child, as Joseph looks through a hole in the masonry; f. 36 (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds, one of whom covers his eyes; f. 38v (Sext), Adoration of the Magi, one of whom is black; f. 41 (None), Presentation in the temple; f. 43v (Vespers), Massacre of the Innocents, in pale tones; f. 48 (Compline), Flight into Egypt with a falling idol and the miracle of the corn field in tiny detail in the far upper right corner of the miniature, a city and a person walking are on the left; f. 86v (Salve sancta facies), half-length figure of Jesus in a red tunic, blessing and holding a crystal cross-and-orb; f. 88v (De nomine ihesu), the Christ Child nude, seated on a red pillow, holding a tau-cross and blessing, in glory; in the outer margin the sacred monogram formed with pearls and gold branches; f. 91 (the Seven Sorrows of Mary), the Virgin, sitting, with 7 swords piercing her heart, each of which bears on the handle a large roundel with the scenes of Sorrow; in the outer border, gold bells hang from a pearl-encrusted trellis; f. 117 (Oracio ante communionem dicenda), 2 angels with brightly colored wings support a monstrance containing the Eucharist, before a red brocade background. Miniatures for the suffrages, ca. 40-30 × 30-25 mm.: f. 107 (Guardian angel), the angel holding a small naked child representing the soul; f. 108, Andres; f. 108v, Stephen; in the border, pearls and other pendants, including one of the Crucifixion, hanging by gold chains from a deep red cloth; f. 109, Christopher; border as on f. 108v, but here including a gold oval pendant of the Virgin; f. 110, Martin, 48 × 40 mm.; f. 110v, Anne sitting on a throne with a red cloth behind her, reading; the Virgin, holding the baby Jesus, sits at her feet; in the border, the legend “De Sancta Anna”; f. 111, Mary Magdalene, seated reading on a low brick wall covered with grass and flowers; a tall rocky hill rises exactly behind her, with cities in the distance; in the border, the legend “De Sancta Mag.”; f. 111v, Catherine of Alexandria, seated on the ground beside the same low brick wall with green grass and scattered flowers on top; f. 112v, Barbara, seated on the floor indoors, with a view from her window of the tower under construction; in the border, the legend “Ora pro nobis beata Barbara ut (followed by cryptic, decorative writing)”; f. 113v, Margaret, emerging from the dragon's back.

<

3-, 2- and 1-line initials, in grey highlighted and decorated in white against gold-decorated maroon grounds; ribbon line fillers in the same colors. Rubrics in red. Erased inscription on f. 87.

 <

Bound, s. XVII, in Belgian red morocco with gold tooling; blue silk endpapers; gilt edges.

 <

Written perhaps in the Ghent-Bruges area as suggested by the style of the miniatures, but liturgically intended for someone connected with a house of the Windesheim congregation. A reference in an indulgence on f. 93 to Pope Sixtus IV indicates a date certainly after 1471. Although most prayers present masculine forms, one, on f. 116v, refers to “me famulam tuam.”

The coat of arms on f. 1v bears the elaborate achievement of Margaretha van Bergen, consort of Floris van Egmond. The representation presumably dates from before 1500 when Floris van Egmond's father died, since the Egmond arms are here differenced with a label of six points argent; the representation is also considered to be before 1505 when Floris van Egmond was elected to the order of the Golden Fleece: the collar of that order is not present. Nor could these be the arms of Margaretha's and Floris' son, Maximilian, since she was not an heiress. The arms are: per pale: I, quarterly, 1 and 4, gules three chevrons or (Egmond; Rietstap, vol. 2, pl. 257); 2 and 3, gules one fesse counter-embattled argent (Arkel; Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 66); over all, or a saltire checky argent and gules (Isselstein; Rietstap, vol. 3, pl. 258); II, per fesse, 1, per pale, sable a lion rampant or (Brabant; Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 300); and paley gules and or (Berthout; Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 196); 2, vert three mascles argent (Bautersem; Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 146). This impaling, for Bergen-op-Zoom, in Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 185. Belonged to Ambroise Firmin Didot (1790-1876); his sale, Paris, 12 June 1882 n. 18 to Baron de Beurnonville; later owned by William K. Bixby (1857-1931) of St. Louis;

(5 August). 673,691c2486,2557 < 6. ff. 199-229 [f. 199, blank]: Penitential psalms and litany; ends; Bernardus doctor in quodam sermone, Nunquam vidi Nec in scripturis inveni quod devotus virginis dampnaretur. Facto fine pia Laudetur virgo Maria; ff. 229v-231v, ruled, but blank. < 7. ff. 232-236v [f. 232, blank]: Short hours of the Cross, misbound; should follow rubric on f. 167v [see art. 4]; ff. 237-238v, ruled, but blank. <

Parchment,

ff. i (contemporary) + 238 (of which f. 1 is a flyleaf) + i (contemporary); 143 × 97 (85 × 45) mm.

Collation beginning at f. 2: 112 210(+1) 3-910 1010(through f. 104) 1110(+1, f. 105) 12-1610 17(2 leaves, ff. 166-167, presumably the beginning of a quire whose remaining leaves are now bound at the end as ff. 230-238) 1810(+1, f. 168) 1910 2010(through f. 198) 2110(+1, f. 199) 2210 2310(through f. 229, which shows signs of wear on the verso) plus the leaves which would have completed quire 17: 2 blank leaves (ff. 230-231) conjecturally once the conjuncts of ff. 166-167, a leaf blank on the recto and illuminated on the verso (f. 232), which would be a singleton, as are the other illuminated leaves in this codex, and a gathering of 3 bifolia (ff. 233-238); this would give the normal quire of 10 leaves and an added singleton. The quire was evidently misordered while the book was still in Italian ownership; each illuminated leaf and facing recto have been numbered 1-10 in the same color ink as a note on the back pastedown: “dieci Quadretti”; ff. 232-233 bear the numbers 9 and 10, rather than 5 and 6 as they would have if in their correct position.

< Catchwords centered in the lower verso, decorated with 4 small flourishes; small marks, occasionally visible in the outer right corner of the recto, were possibly leaf signatures.

12 long lines, ruled in pale brown ink.

Written in a round Italian gothic book hand.

 <

Five full page miniatures on the versos of inserted leaves, blank on the recto, in a style similar to that of Francesco d'Antonio del Cherico; rectos facing the miniatures with matching full borders and 7-line historiated initials: ff. 14v-15 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, and Virgin and Child in the initial; borders of dense, richly colored acanthus leaves and black-rayed gold dots, with flowers, birds or other animals, urns, medallions of saints or prophets; on f. 14v, a space reserved for a coat of arms; f. 15 with the coat of arms painted in (see below). On ff. 105v-106 (Office of the Dead), Macarius showing a skeleton standing beside an open vault to 3 kings and a young man with a falcon; the initial encloses a crowned winged skeleton holding a scythe; similar border. On ff. 168v-169 (Office of the Passion), Crucifixion with Mary and John; in the initial the dead Christ on the cross, half-length; similar border. On ff. 199v-200 (Penitential psalms), David slaying Goliath; in the initial David penitent, holding a zither, half-length; similar border. On ff. 232v-233 (Office of the Cross), Kiss of Judas; in the initial, Jesus tied to the pillar; similar border.

<

Secondary initials, 3-line, in white-patterned colors on a gold and colored ground with acanthus leaf marginal extensions and black-rayed gold dots; alternating 2-line red or blue initials with very careful and elaborate penwork in both colors extending the full length of the folio; 1-line initials, red with purple harping or blue with red. Red rubrics throughout.

 <

Bound, 1972, in red reverse calf over wooden boards, replacing a previous binding in red velvet; gauffered gilt edges.

 <

Written at the end of the fifteenth century, possibly in Florence as suggested by the style of the decoration.

<

The coat of arms on f. 15, apparently original, is that of the Morelli family of Turin; see J. Gelli, 3500 Ex Libris Italiani (Milan 1908) fig. 425: gules two lion's jambs or in saltire paws to the chief and in chief a chess-rook or. Other arms added later on f. 1v, and covering an earlier escutcheon: azure five mullets of eight points in a cross or (possibly a variant of the arms of the Lancillotti family of Rome). A note, s. XV, on f. i verso reads: Eugenio quarto, 1431, Condulmeria famiglia, Venetus (referring to the election of Gabriele Condulmer of Venice to the papacy in 1431 as Eugenius IV).

Bound, s. XV, in black calf over wooden boards, rebacked; repeated 4 times, both front and back, is a Flemish animal panel (Weale, Netherlands 314, from Bruges, but without the panel of St. Margaret); 2 contemporary worked brass clasps, closing from top to bottom, with inset, glass covered, small miniatures of saints: in the upper clasp, a female saint; in the lower, a male saint with a staff and a string of shells (?) about his neck (James?); A. W. Byvanck, Les Principaux Manuscrits à Peintures de la Bibliothèque Royale des Pays-Bas... (Paris 1924) p. 80 notes that such clasps with miniatures seem to occur on books from a Vrelant workshop. On the inside of the clasps are the 2 initials ?P? and ?I? (or ?J? for James?) united with a lovers' knot; gauffered and gilt edges; binding restored, 1974. For a similar binding, see D.

16 long lines ruled in pale red ink.

Written in a gothic book hand of varying size according to liturgical function.

 <

Sixteen large illuminations above 3 lines of text within arched compartments by more than one artist; some of the miniatures are based upon compositions of the Boucicaut Master. Borders in 2 styles, the division occurring after quire 3 between ff. 29-30: the first style includes figures in a rather dense ivy leaf outer border, and a narrow U-shaped gold frame around text and miniature; in the second style, a thin gold strip completely encloses the page; the outer border is somewhat more sparse and frequently includes a 180° sun-burst design of thin colored lines emanating from a gold dot set against the edge of the border; a rather wide frame surrounds the text and extends across the top until it meets the arch of the miniature. The miniatures are: f. 14 (Gospel of John), John on Patmos, writing, as a trumpet issues from a golden cloud in the sky; in the border, a bird and a monkey playing a guitar; f. 16 (Luke), the evangelist in an elaborate gothic chair against a tessellated background; in the border, a squirrel and a bird; f. 18 (Matthew), the evangelist below a vaulted gothic ceiling, against a tessellated background, and, in the border, an owl and 2-headed grotesque, the man-half playing a pipe and beating a drum; f. 20 (Mark), the seated evangelist under a gothic vaulted ceiling and against a tessellated background; in the border an owl and a grotesque similar to the one above, but with the monkey-half holding bagpipes; f. 21 (Hours of the Cross), Crucifixion with Mary and John on either side against a tessellated background; in the border are a stork, another bird and a woman spinning; f. 25 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost against a tessellated background, and, in the border, a butterfly and two birds; f. 28 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, against a tessellated background, with a peacock and another bird in the border; f. 37 (Lauds), Visitation; f. 46 (Prime), Nativity, with another woman kneeling in prayer; f. 50 (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds; f. 53 (Sext), Adoration of the Magi; f. 57 (None), Presentation in the temple, with the Baby reaching back to his Mother, seen through a solid grey archway; f. 61 (Vespers), Flight into Egypt; f. 67 (Compline), Coronation of the Virgin, in which the crowned Virgin kneels before Christ who blesses her, against a tessellated background; f. 71 (Penitential psalms), David kneeling, gazing upwards at God the Father who appears in the sky surrounded by orange cherubim; f. 86 (Office of the Dead), burial service in a courtyard with 3 priests, blackdressed mourners and 2 men lowering the body into the grave; the border seems to be of the first type.

<

Band borders the length of the text in the outer margins traced through, with the same division in style as noted above; the calendar with borders of the second type. 3-line initials in white-patterned blue or pink with colored trilobe leaf infilling against a cusped gold ground; 2- and 1-line initials in gold with alternating pink or blue infilling and ground of the other color; ribbon line fillers in the same colors; initials within the text touched in yellow.

The nineteenth century provenance of this manuscript is laid out on the verso of a small slip of paper, now tipped in before the first flyleaf: “This missal was bought by Mr. W. Bateman at the sale of the library of Mr. W. Gates [?] of Manchester <blank space> 1829. It then passed by exchange into the possession of Mr. Duncalf at whose death in 18—<left blank> it was purchased along with other books by Mr. James Lowe of Macclesfield from whom I bought it on the 27th of February 1851. [signed] Thomas Bateman [1821-61].” The recto of this slip of paper is inscribed by William Bateman (1787-1835), father of the above Thomas Bateman: “This Missal is the property of the Rev. John Duncalf, Incumbent of Peak Forest, and has been this day placed in my keeping on account of the dampness of his residence, Wetstone Hall, near Tideswell. [signed] Mr. Wm. Bateman, Middleton, 4 December 1834.” Bateman sale, sold by order of the Court of Chancery, Sotheby's, 25 May 1893, lot 1367 to Quaritch. Belonged to Robert Hoe: Cat. (1909) pp. 148-49; his sale, Anderson, New York, 1912, pt. IV, n. 2367 to G. D. Smith.

3-line initials in white-decorated pink or blue against a burnished gold ground with colored trilobe leaf infilling; 3-, 2- and 1-line initials in burnished gold on pink grounds with blue infilling, or vice versa; ribbon line fillers in the same colors. Borders on every page, including those of the calendar, of a narrow gold and color strip running the length of the text in the outer margin and flourished on 3 sides in bracket form with black ink vines of gold trilobe leaves and blue and pink star-flowers; some leaves contain traced grotesque dragons emerging from either end of the gold and color strip: ff. 25r-v, 29r-v, 56r-v, 63r-v.

Written in France in the early fifteenth century; at a later date, perhaps in the seventeenth century when the book was bound in its present form, an effort was made to complete the by-then missing sections at the beginning of the Penitential psalms and of the Office of the dead, by partially erasing (some of the original initials were left untouched) and re-writing respectively the opening leaves of the Hours of the Cross and of the Holy Spirit.

Written in France in the early fifteenth century; at a later date, perhaps in the seventeenth century when the book was bound in its present form, an effort was made to complete the by-then missing sections at the beginning of the Penitential psalms and of the Office of the dead, by partially erasing (some of the original initials were left untouched) and re-writing respectively the opening leaves of the Hours of the Cross and of the Holy Spirit.

The miniatures are: f. 13v (the Gospel pericopes), full page, blank on the recto but apparently part of the quire structure; the outer border, while of the same style as the others, is darker in color and finer in execution; the miniature is divided into 4 compartments, one for each evangelist and his symbol; f. 21 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, in a room defined by grey columns, pendant arches and brocaded cloths in the background; f. 33 (Lauds), Visitation, with Mary holding a book, and greeting a rather aged Elizabeth; f. 53 (Prime), Nativity, with Joseph holding a candle and in the background, a kneeling woman; f. 59 (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds; f. 63v (Sext), Adoration of the Magi; opening leaf of none missing before f. 68; f. 73v (Vespers), Flight into Egypt; f. 80v (Compline), Coronation of the Virgin by an angel, while God the Father, wearing a papal tiara, blesses; f. 87 (Penitential psalms), David in prayer, his harp lying on a table and the angel appearing with upraised sword between David and God the Father; f. 105 (Hours of the Cross), Crucifixion, with Mary and John on either side; f. 113 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 120 (Office of the Dead), burial service in a churchyard, with the white-shrouded corpse being lowered into the grave by a worker, while 2 priests say the service and 3 mourners in black stand in the background; f. 182v, apparently intended to accompany the 15 Joys, which begin on the last 3 lines of f. 183, as if the original plan had been to place the miniature above the text; instead, the miniature was painted on the verso of an inserted singleton, left blank on its recto; the resulting blank space on f. 183 was then filled in by the prayer “Anima christi” in a slightly different hand; the border decoration on this added singleton is the same as that on f. 13v; the artist appears to be more capable; the scene depicts a woman in a red dress and black headdress kneeling before the Virgin and Child.

<

4- and 3-line initials in white-patterned blue or dark pink against a ground of the other color or against a gold ground, with colored trilobe leaf infilling against a gold ground; except in the presence of full borders, these initials produce marginal extensions of black ivy spray, flowers and gold motifs. 2- and 1-line initials in gold on alternating blue or dark pink grounds with infilling of the other color; ribbon line fillers of the same colors, or as small flowers; initials within the text touched in yellow. Rubrics in an orange-tinged red.

Sixteenth century pen trials, now erased: ff. 4 (Jaques), 9v (Jaques du Losc?), 10, 12 (Jaques?), 187v (Jaques?), 188 (a flower), 192 (a bird?), 194, 194v (“venerable,” twice).

 <

Bound, s. XVIIex, in French gilt calf, rebacked, original spine laid down, with small fleurs-de-lis on spine and covers; holes remain from 2 fore edge ties; gilt edges.

 <

Written in France, and probably first owned by a woman to judge by the miniature on f. 182v, although the prayers are copied in the masculine forms; the area was Rouen, as indicated by the liturgical use and the saints in the calendar, suffrages and litany.

Twelve full page miniatures, which were all on inserted singletons and presumably blank on the recto, have been cut from the manuscript. The remaining illuminations are those of prayers, suffrages and Gospel pericopes, usually 6-line, in grisaille technique of shaded whites, highlighted in gold, often set against gold-patterned maroon drapes. A number of the miniatures, although simpler in execution, have followed the same model as certain miniatures attributed to the Master of Mary of Burgundy; the references to plates in the following description indicate those in G. I. Lieftinck, Boekverluchters uit de Omgeving van Maria van Bourgondie, c. 1475-1485 (Brussels 1969). Full borders on the leaves with extant miniatures and on the leaves facing the removed miniatures, with ground of gold paint dabbed over a colored surface or of a color (pink, blue-grey, red, yellow-green), and decorated with realistic flowers, insects, and branchy acanthus leaves (Lieftinck, pl. 39). Depth added to the borders by raised gold dots and ovals, some of which have flaked off down to the base coat; there is no indication here of a previous ivy spray border, in which gold dots were painted over, as noted by J. J. G. Alexander regarding Oxford, Bod. Lib., Douce 219-220 in his introduction to The Master of Mary of Burgundy (New York 1970) p. 14. The miniatures are: f. 12 (Stabat mater), Pietà; f. 13v (Obsecro te), the Virgin, standing, holding the Child, 4-line; f. 17v (O Intemerata), the Virgin sitting holding the Child, 4-line; f. 20 (Trinity), the Trinity as three glowing gold circles emanating gold rays through a white field which shades into rose; f. 21, John the Baptist holding the Lamb and pointing to his neck; f. 22 (All Angels), Christ's face in gold highlights surrounded by worshipping angels, also picked out in gold against a deep rose ground; f. 23, Michael with upraised sword vanquishing 2 devils at his feet (Lieftinck, pl. 137); f. 23v, Nicholas seated before the 3 children in a tub (Lieftinck, pl. 196); f. 24, Francis showing the stigmata; f. 25, Anthony of Padua standing before a maroon drape holding a crucifix and a book; f. 25v, John the Evangelist holding a chalice; f. 26, Sebastian; f. 27, Jerome holding a rock with which he has been beating his chest, and gazing at a crucifix, against a background of green foliage; f. 28, Anne standing beside the Virgin, herself a child who holds the infant Jesus (Lieftinck, pl. 34); f. 29, Catherine standing before a maroon drape patterned with gold wheels, and holding a sword and a book; f. 29v, Agnes holding a lamb on a book; f. 30v, Apollonia holding the pincers with a tooth (Lieftinck, pl. 260); f. 31, Elizabeth, crowned, and holding a crown and a coin before a maroon ground; f. 32, Barbara holding a palm frond and touching the tower with her left hand; f. 33, Mary Magdalene holding the pot; f. 34, Margaret with the head only of the dragon visible, stretching up towards her hand and the cross in it; f. 34v, Leonard holding fetters and a book; f. 49, John on Patmos (Lieftinck, pl. 246); f. 51, Luke with the ox (Lieftinck, pls. 117 and 249); f. 53, Matthew with the angel (Lieftinck, pls. 123 and 247); f. 55, Mark with the lion (Lieftinck, pl. 122).

<

Set into the space of the illuminations are 1-line initials, shaped from a white acanthus leaf, against a squared gold-sprinkled light brown ground (Lieftinck, pl. 123). Facing the presumably excised full page illuminations are 6- or 5-line initials, as white or brown branches and leaves, highlighted in gold against a square brick-red or brownish-green ground, lightly stippled in gold, infilled on f. 56 with a bird pecking at a daisy, or with a flower alone (Lieftinck, pl. 149). Minor initials, 2- or 1-line, of white branches against square brown grounds, stippled in gold, with the same colors used for the ribbon line fillers in the litany. Rubrics in red.

<

3-line initials in white-decorated blue or pink on gold grounds with colored trilobe leaf infilling, that on f. 107 also containing a grotesque; 3-, 2- and 1-line initials in burnished gold on pink grounds with blue infilling or vice versa. The flourished extensions of the 2-line initials consist of sprays of black-ink stems and squiggles and some colored buds, in 3 styles: i, up to f. 25v; ii, on the versos and conjuncts of illuminated leaves; iii, the most frequent form, with green also being used for the buds. Ribbon line fillers and single flowers for the same purpose in pink, blue and gold. Rubrics in an orange-tinged red, except for those of the calendar which are in a washed-out pink.

The illuminated leaves have an irregular series of holes across the top, possibly where protective coverings for the miniatures were sewn. On f. 128, an additional line ruled at the bottom of the recto and at the top of the verso to add a portion of the text omitted by the scribe; it may be a contemporary correction. The margins of ff. 125 and 180 have been almost entirely replaced with parchment; numerous other small repairs occur throughout the volume; the stub which now holds f. 98 in place (the conjunct to the missing leaf before f. 103) bears writing in a sixteenth century French hand.

3-line initials in white-decorated blue or pink on gold grounds with colored trilobe leaf infilling, that on f. 107 also containing a grotesque; 3-, 2- and 1-line initials in burnished gold on pink grounds with blue infilling or vice versa. The flourished extensions of the 2-line initials consist of sprays of black-ink stems and squiggles and some colored buds, in 3 styles: i, up to f. 25v; ii, on the versos and conjuncts of illuminated leaves; iii, the most frequent form, with green also being used for the buds. Ribbon line fillers and single flowers for the same purpose in pink, blue and gold. Rubrics in an orange-tinged red, except for those of the calendar which are in a washed-out pink.

> > > >

The illuminated leaves have an irregular series of holes across the top, possibly where protective coverings for the miniatures were sewn. On f. 128, an additional line ruled at the bottom of the recto and at the top of the verso to add a portion of the text omitted by the scribe; it may be a contemporary correction. The margins of ff. 125 and 180 have been almost entirely replaced with parchment; numerous other small repairs occur throughout the volume; the stub which now holds f. 98 in place (the conjunct to the missing leaf before f. 103) bears writing in a sixteenth century French hand.

Fourteen full page miniatures, of which 6 are original (with some retouching), and the others are later additions by Caleb W. Wing (corrected form of the name kindly communicated to us by Janet Backhouse); see J. Backhouse, “A Victorian Connoisseur and his manuscripts: The Tale of Mr. Jarman and Mr. Wing,” British Museum Quarterly 32 (1967-68) 76-92.

A number of the bracket borders which surround the facing text at these divisions were also added at the later time. The miniatures and the borders on opposing text pages are: ff. 13v-14 (Gospel of John), John on Patmos, both the miniature and the facing border are added; ff. 15v-16 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, the miniature original with possible retouching on the faces, the facing border added; ff. 24v-25 (Lauds), Visitation, the facing border is original, the miniature added; ff. 34v-35 (Prime), Nativity, the miniature original with possible retouching of the faces, the facing border added; ff. 39v-40 (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds, both the miniature and the facing border are added; ff. 43v-44 (Sext), Adoration of the Magi, the facing border is original, the miniature added; ff. 47v-48 (None), Presentation in the temple, both the miniature and the facing border are added; ff. 51v-52 (Vespers), Flight into Egypt, the facing border is original, the miniature added; ff. 58v-59 (Compline), Massacre of the Innocents, the facing border is original, the miniature added; ff. 63v-64 (Hours of the Cross), Crucifixion, the miniature is original, the facing border added; ff. 66v-67 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost, the miniature is original, the facing border added; ff. 69v-70 (Penitential psalms), Last Judgment, the miniature is original, the facing border added; ff. 84v-85 (Office of the Dead), Funeral in a church, the miniature is original, the facing border added; ff. 106v-107 (Obsecro te), Coronation of the Virgin, the facing border is original, the miniature added.

Only one miniature survives; the remaining 12 (?) were apparently cut out, as indicated by the loss of text at the beginning of each section, by the presence of some stubs at those points and by the offset of color onto the presumed facing pages. The surviving miniature, f. 75v, in a square compartment above 5 lines of text with both text and miniature surrounded on 4 sides by a narrow gold and color bar frame out of which sprout narrow dark pink or blue branches with gold, blue and orange trilobe leaves, and a dragon-grotesque, a bird, and a half-man half-cat grotesque with a golden aspergillum and situla; in the space between the bottom of the text and the frame are a dog and a hare on a green grass base. The miniature, for the Hours of the Holy Spirit, shows Jesus being baptized in the river Jordan by John the Baptist who pours water over Jesus' head with his right hand and holds the Agnus Dei in his left; an angel stands on the left bank holding Jesus' tunic, while God the Father from a golden aperture in the gold-patterned blue sky sends down the Dove. The miniature was apparently over-painted in the late fifteenth century as indicated by the deep modelling of the figures, the shadow of Jesus' body seen through the water and the soft trees and grass.

3- and 2-line initials in white-patterned blue on burnished gold grounds with colored trilobe leaf infilling; 1-line initials in burnished gold alternating pink and blue for the infilling and the background; ribbon line fillers in the same colors. Rubrics in deep red. Narrow gold and color bar frames sprouting colored ivy branches on every page, placed on either side of the text; they occasionally terminate in grotesques. On the opening leaves of each month of the calendar and on occasional other leaves (13v, 71), the frame is U-shaped. On ff. 27-34v and 119-126v, which constitute quires, and on the single leaves ff. 139-140v, the border is of somewhat coarser execution.

Erased inscription in blue ink, s. XVI (?), on f. 141, in 5 lines, of which the first may read “finis.”

Names of early owners on the back pastedown: Manon dargilliere, francoise dargilliere. A sixteenth century owner was apparently Marie de Rebergues, whose name is stamped on the cover. A cancelled note on f. i identifies a seventeenth century owner as Anne Sa<?> Gaultier of Clermont, who obtained the book from her great-grandmother. Belonged to James Dix of Bristol; his sale, Sotheby's, 11 February 1870, lot 257 to Stevens. In the collection of E.

Only one miniature survives; the remaining 12 (?) were apparently cut out, as indicated by the loss of text at the beginning of each section, by the presence of some stubs at those points and by the offset of color onto the presumed facing pages. The surviving miniature, f. 75v, in a square compartment above 5 lines of text with both text and miniature surrounded on 4 sides by a narrow gold and color bar frame out of which sprout narrow dark pink or blue branches with gold, blue and orange trilobe leaves, and a dragon-grotesque, a bird, and a half-man half-cat grotesque with a golden aspergillum and situla; in the space between the bottom of the text and the frame are a dog and a hare on a green grass base. The miniature, for the Hours of the Holy Spirit, shows Jesus being baptized in the river Jordan by John the Baptist who pours water over Jesus' head with his right hand and holds the Agnus Dei in his left; an angel stands on the left bank holding Jesus' tunic, while God the Father from a golden aperture in the gold-patterned blue sky sends down the Dove. The miniature was apparently over-painted in the late fifteenth century as indicated by the deep modelling of the figures, the shadow of Jesus' body seen through the water and the soft trees and grass.

Twelve large miniatures above 5 or 4 lines of text, with both text and miniature enclosed by painted gold architectural borders; the paintings may have been added in the early sixteenth century in the empty spaces reserved for that purpose, since the style of the illuminations and that of the initials seem at variance. The miniatures are: f. 7 (Passion according to John), above 5 lines of text, Betrayal in the Garden with Judas holding the bag of silver in his hand and kissing Jesus on his right cheek; Malchus with his bloody ear crouches below Peter; f. 21 (Gospel of John), above 5 lines of text, John, full-length, holding the snaky chalice, with 2 poisoned prisoners at his feet; f. 40 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation; f. 68 (Lauds), the Tiburtine Sibyl presenting the vision of the Virgin and Child to Augustus; 4 men stand in an arched cloister in the background; f. 81 (Prime), Nativity; opening leaf of terce missing; f. 91 (Sext), flaking, Adoration of the Magi; f. 95v (None), Presentation in the temple; f. 100 (Vespers), Flight into Egypt, with the Holy Family being accompanied by 2 angels; f. 108 (Compline), Dormition of the Virgin; f. 114 (Hours of the Cross), flaking, Crucifixion, with Mary, John and Mary Magdalene on Christ's right and the soldiers on his left; f. 118v (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 122 (Penitential psalms), David sending Uriah into battle; opening leaf for the office of the dead missing. Small miniatures, approximately 45 × 38 mm., enclosed by simple gold frames, while the entire page is framed by painted gold or colored architectural columns, are: f. 23v, Luke, seated in front of an easel painting an image of the Virgin from a smaller one propped above it on the easel, as the winged ox approaches from the left; f. 25v, Matthew, seated writing, with his left hand following the words in a book held by the angel; f. 27v, Mark, writing from 2 books set open on a lectern, with the winged lion below; f. 29 (Obsecro te), Pietà, with John the Baptist presenting a woman to Mary and the dead Christ; f. 34 (O Intemerata), the Virgin, seated, holding the Child with angels playing musical instruments on either side; f. 37v (Stabat mater), Crucifixion with Mary and John.

4- and 3-line initials in white-patterned blue on burnished gold grounds with colored trilobe leaf infilling; 2- and 1-line initials in gold on blue grounds with dark pink infilling, or vice versa; ribbon, dot and flower line fillers in the same colors; initials within the text touched in yellow. Rubrics in a bright orange-red. Two 2-line initials on f. 195r-v in painted gold on square faded maroon grounds; in the lower margin of f. 195 green brush strokes, as if to make a plant; in faded green ink on f. 195v: “finis; christum dominum nostrum.”

Twelve large miniatures above 5 or 4 lines of text, with both text and miniature enclosed by painted gold architectural borders; the paintings may have been added in the early sixteenth century in the empty spaces reserved for that purpose, since the style of the illuminations and that of the initials seem at variance. The miniatures are: f. 7 (Passion according to John), above 5 lines of text, Betrayal in the Garden with Judas holding the bag of silver in his hand and kissing Jesus on his right cheek; Malchus with his bloody ear crouches below Peter; f. 21 (Gospel of John), above 5 lines of text, John, full-length, holding the snaky chalice, with 2 poisoned prisoners at his feet; f. 40 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation; f. 68 (Lauds), the Tiburtine Sibyl presenting the vision of the Virgin and Child to Augustus; 4 men stand in an arched cloister in the background; f. 81 (Prime), Nativity; opening leaf of terce missing; f. 91 (Sext), flaking, Adoration of the Magi; f. 95v (None), Presentation in the temple; f. 100 (Vespers), Flight into Egypt, with the Holy Family being accompanied by 2 angels; f. 108 (Compline), Dormition of the Virgin; f. 114 (Hours of the Cross), flaking, Crucifixion, with Mary, John and Mary Magdalene on Christ's right and the soldiers on his left; f. 118v (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 122 (Penitential psalms), David sending Uriah into battle; opening leaf for the office of the dead missing. Small miniatures, approximately 45 × 38 mm., enclosed by simple gold frames, while the entire page is framed by painted gold or colored architectural columns, are: f. 23v, Luke, seated in front of an easel painting an image of the Virgin from a smaller one propped above it on the easel, as the winged ox approaches from the left; f. 25v, Matthew, seated writing, with his left hand following the words in a book held by the angel; f. 27v, Mark, writing from 2 books set open on a lectern, with the winged lion below; f. 29 (Obsecro te), Pietà, with John the Baptist presenting a woman to Mary and the dead Christ; f. 34 (O Intemerata), the Virgin, seated, holding the Child with angels playing musical instruments on either side; f. 37v (Stabat mater), Crucifixion with Mary and John.

Catchwords written vertically in the space formed by the double bounding lines of the inner margin.

24 long lines, written between, not on the lines; ruled in pale red ink for the text with double lines full across and full length for the frame of the written space. The illuminated leaves contain 17 lines of text on the recto, and 6 on the verso, below the picture.

Written in a round gothic book hand, with dark black ink, often flaking; on the recto and the bottom 6 lines of the verso of leaves with miniatures, the devotional material is written in a humanistic hand in gold ink, against deep red or purple grounds (except for f. 48v which continues the round gothic script).

 <

Seventeen miniatures (all but 2, on ff. 10v, 28), 56 × 39 mm., enclosed by simple gold frames with decorative molding diagonally across the 2 upper corners, probably by Simon Bening. The miniatures with their frames were painted on rectangles of parchment which were then glued to the folios (sometimes singletons, sometimes part of the quire structure); a second artist, less capable, then painted over the join to form an illustrated space of 82 × 84 mm., set above 6 lines of text written in gold humanistic script on dark colored grounds; the entire area is framed in gold strips of wood molding, and the same frame surrounds the text on the facing page. Copies or echoes of engravings by Martin Schongauer occur in the miniatures of the Crucifixion (Lehrs 12), Flagellation (Lehrs 22), Mocking of Christ (Lehrs 23), Road to Calvary (Lehrs 9) and Resurrection (Lehrs 30)1; for this practice in other manuscripts illuminated by Simon Bening, see M. Kupfer-Tarasulo, “Innovation and Copy in the Stein Quadriptych of Simon Bening,” Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte 42 (1979) 274-98, and “A Rosary Psalter illuminated by Simon Bening” Quaerendo 9 (1979) 209-23.

The miniatures are: f. 10v (Orationes in surrectione lecti), the second artist has done the entire picture showing Christ as Salvator Mundi in half-length; in the space below the picture, a coat of arms (see below) instead of text; f. 18v (Hours of the Cross), Crucifixion with Mary and John in the small painting, and Renaissance ornament in the border painted over the join; f. 23v (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost, with Renaissance ornament in the outer area; f. 28 (Hours of the Conception), a single large miniature, by the second artist, showing the meeting of Joachim and Anne at the Golden Gate, with 2 women on the right, a shepherd on the left, and an angel above; f. 34v (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation; a line through the angel has been badly rubbed due to buckling in the onlaid parchment; in the outer area the second artist has extended the city seen through the open loggia of Mary's house; f. 48v (Lauds), Visitation, at closer range than the other onlaid miniatures; the second artist has painted 2 angels in camaïeu d'or who support the picture of the first artist; this leaf and the facing one are surrounded by a rich border of dark pink with gold Renaissance ornament, light blue cameos, laurel leaves and a laurel wreath containing a coat of arms (see below); the text on the recto of this singleton leaf is in the usual gold humanistic script on a dark ground; however, on the verso, the text is in 7 lines of the same round gothic script as the main text; f. 58v (Prime), Nativity, with Renaissance ornament in the outer border; f. 63v (Terce), Circumcision, with Renaissance ornament in the border; f. 68v (Sext), Presentation in the temple, with Renaissance ornament in the border; f. 73v (None), Agony in the Garden, with Renaissance ornament in the border; f. 78v (Vespers), Flagellation with Renaissance ornament in the border; f. 86v (Compline), Mocking of Christ; the second artist has painted a pastoral landscape as background to the onlaid miniature; f. 93v (Mass of the Virgin), Coronation of the Virgin by God the Father and the Son, as identical Jesus-like figures with the Dove between them; in the outer border, Renaissance ornament; f. 98v (Penitential psalms), Road to Calvary; the second artist has extended the scene with crowds curving up the hill and he appears to have continued the foliage from his border back into the onlay; f. 111v (Office of the Dead), Dormition of the Virgin, set against a pastoral landscape border; f. 140v (Gradual psalms), Resurrection, with a Renaissance ornament border; f. 151v (Orationes in introitu lecti), Ascension of Christ, against a landscape border which continues the scene begun in the inner frame.

Fifteen large miniatures, usually above 3 lines of text in arched compartments, surrounded by full borders of blue and gold acanthus, flowers, green pears, strawberries, and a particularly large number of grotesques, frequently obscence. The miniatures have been discussed by Claude Schaefer, “Recherches sur l'iconologie et la stylistique de l'art de Jean Fouquet,” Thèse présentée devant l'Université de Paris, IV, 24 February 1971, 2:268-70 and 3:pl. 119-122 (all the miniatures reproduced). The miniature on f. 13v closest to the work of Fouquet; the others, in varying degree, represent styles of Fouquet and Jean Colombe and appear to be products of Fouquet's workshop. The miniatures are: f. 13v (added singleton; the original intent was evidently to paint the miniature for the catena from John directly on the quire leaf, as f. 14 contains only the rubric on the last three lines, leaving the normal miniature space blank), full page miniature, God the Father, holding the orb, and seated in glory, in shades of purple and gold, and, in the corners, the symbols of the 4 Evangelists; f. 22v (Obsecro te), Pietà, with a coat of arms in the border (see below); f. 37 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation in a church; f. 62 (Lauds), Visitation, with a coat of arms in the border (see below); f. 74v (Hours of the Cross), Betrayal in the garden, at night, in the left background a woman holds up a lantern, while Judas with the bag of silver in his hand kisses Jesus, and Malchus crouches on the ground; f. 76 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 77v (Prime), Nativity; f. 83v (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds, one of whom is dressed in white; f. 88 (Sext), Adoration of the Magi, 2 of whom already kneel before the Infant, their crowns on the ground, while the third approaches at the head of a large crowd; f. 92v (None), Flight into Egypt; f. 97 (Vespers), Dormition of the Virgin, with Jesus in a yellow aperture above holding her soul, represented as a small child dressed in white; f. 101 (Compline), Assumption of the Virgin, who is dressed in white and supported by pink angels; f. 110 (Penitential psalms), David killing Goliath;

historiated initial on this page of David playing his harp;

f. 129v (Office of the Dead), Job on the dunghill with his friends standing before him; f. 170 (suffrage to the Trinity), above 2 lines of text, Gnadenstuhl, on the same model as the miniature on f. 13v.

3-line initial on f. 22v as pink acanthus leaves against a golden acanthus leaf ground with a coat of arms as infilling (see below); the initial on f. 97 formed of white acanthus leaves; that on f. 110 contains an image of David. Other 3-line, and the 2- and 1-line initials in maroon or blue decorated with gold leafy swirls against backgrounds of the other color, also decorated with painted gold leaves. Ribbon line fillers in the same colors. Initials in the text touched in yellow. Rubrics in pale red. Band borders in the outer margin running the length of the text at the presence of 2-line initials, and traced when appropriate, consisting of blue and gold acanthus, flowers, green pears and strawberries.

Written in France ca. 1480 for a member of the family of Malet de Graville, whose coat of arms appears in the margin of f. 62 (Rietstap, vol. 4, pl. 127);

added to the initial on f. 22v are the arms of the Balzac family, seigneurs d'Entragues (Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 116); the original owners may have been Louis Malet and his wife, Jeanne de Balzac; their daughter, Anne, married Pierre de Balzac in 1505. The book may have passed to Pierre's son-in-law, Claude d'Urfé; see A. Vernet, “Les Manuscrits de Claude d'Urfé (1501-1558) au Château de la Bastie,” Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres: Comptes-Rendus (1976) 81-97. His library was bought in 1777 by the Duc de La Vallière; this manuscript, however, does not appear in the Duc's 1784 sale. E. M. Bancel sale, Paris, 8 May 1882, n. 13 to Baron de Beurnonville; his sale, Paris, 16 February 1885, pp. 14-18 to the bookseller D. Morgand (Inv. 23092); Dodd and Mead and Co., Catalogue 11 (October 1885), pp. 27-28. Acquired by E.

Fifteen large miniatures, usually above 3 lines of text in arched compartments, surrounded by full borders of blue and gold acanthus, flowers, green pears, strawberries, and a particularly large number of grotesques, frequently obscence. The miniatures have been discussed by Claude Schaefer, ?Recherches sur l'iconologie et la stylistique de l'art de Jean Fouquet,? Thèse présentée devant l'Université de Paris, IV, 24 February 1971, 2:268-70 and 3:pl. 119-122 (all the miniatures reproduced). The miniature on f. 13v closest to the work of Fouquet; the others, in varying degree, represent styles of Fouquet and Jean Colombe and appear to be products of Fouquet's workshop. The miniatures are: f. 13v (added singleton; the original intent was evidently to paint the miniature for the catena from John directly on the quire leaf, as f. 14 contains only the rubric on the last three lines, leaving the normal miniature space blank), full page miniature, God the Father, holding the orb, and seated in glory, in shades of purple and gold, and, in the corners, the symbols of the 4 Evangelists; f. 22v (Obsecro te), Pietà, with a coat of arms in the border (see below); f. 37 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation in a church; f. 62 (Lauds), Visitation, with a coat of arms in the border (see below); f. 74v (Hours of the Cross), Betrayal in the garden, at night, in the left background a woman holds up a lantern, while Judas with the bag of silver in his hand kisses Jesus, and Malchus crouches on the ground; f. 76 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 77v (Prime), Nativity; f. 83v (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds, one of whom is dressed in white; f. 88 (Sext), Adoration of the Magi, 2 of whom already kneel before the Infant, their crowns on the ground, while the third approaches at the head of a large crowd; f. 92v (None), Flight into Egypt; f. 97 (Vespers), Dormition of the Virgin, with Jesus in a yellow aperture above holding her soul, represented as a small child dressed in white; f. 101 (Compline), Assumption of the Virgin, who is dressed in white and supported by pink angels; f. 110 (Penitential psalms), David killing Goliath;

> > >

historiated initial on this page of David playing his harp;

> > >

f. 129v (Office of the Dead), Job on the dunghill with his friends standing before him; f. 170 (suffrage to the Trinity), above 2 lines of text, Gnadenstuhl, on the same model as the miniature on f. 13v.

> > >

3-line initial on f. 22v as pink acanthus leaves against a golden acanthus leaf ground with a coat of arms as infilling (see below); the initial on f. 97 formed of white acanthus leaves; that on f. 110 contains an image of David. Other 3-line, and the 2- and 1-line initials in maroon or blue decorated with gold leafy swirls against backgrounds of the other color, also decorated with painted gold leaves. Ribbon line fillers in the same colors. Initials in the text touched in yellow. Rubrics in pale red. Band borders in the outer margin running the length of the text at the presence of 2-line initials, and traced when appropriate, consisting of blue and gold acanthus, flowers, green pears and strawberries.

added to the initial on f. 22v are the arms of the Balzac family, seigneurs d'Entragues ( > Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 116); the original owners may have been Louis Malet and his wife, Jeanne de Balzac; their daughter, Anne, married Pierre de Balzac in 1505. The book may have passed to Pierre's son-in-law, Claude d'Urfé; see A. Vernet, ?Les Manuscrits de Claude d'Urfé (1501-1558) au Château de la Bastie,? Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres: Comptes-Rendus (1976) 81-97. His library was bought in 1777 by the Duc de La Vallière; this manuscript, however, does not appear in the Duc's 1784 sale.

Parchment,

ff. ii (modern parchment) + 158 + ii (modern parchment); 155 × 102 (96 × 57) mm.

Quire structure difficult to determine as many leaves are singletons joined to “conjunct” leaves by tabs; collation often relies upon modern binder's numbering of the quires. 1-26 34 46(through f. 22) 5-64 7-86 94 10 (ff. 47-53, but lacking 1 leaf before f. 51) 11 (ff. 54-63, but lacking 1 leaf before f. 62, and misbound: f. 57 should follow f. 61) 12 (ff. 64-72) 13 (ff. 73-80, but lacking 1 leaf before f. 77) 14 (ff. 81-89, misbound: f. 87 should follow f. 82) 156 16-218 22-236 244(-4).

21 long lines, ruled in pale red ink.

Written in a bâtarde script, the main body of the text in one hand. A second scribe appears to have been responsible for most occurrences of the suffrage of All Saints (after each hour in the hours of the Virgin), and for the short hours of the Cross and the Holy Spirit; he often copies only one side of a leaf or picks up half-way down a page; his larger and more decorative hand usually coincides with a change in ink color (brown to grey), in rubric color (pink to red), in flourishing of the 2- and 1-line initials (finer to simpler). Folios copied by this scribe: 52, 56-58, 64-65, 69r-v, 75v line 12-76v, 80 line 20-81v, 102v line 10-104 line 8 (text at the end of the litany with a variation of Ps. 39, 15-18, versicles, responses and prayers for the pope, benefactors, the dead and absent brothers). A third hand (or a variation of the first?) copied ff. 82r-v, 87v, 88, 156-158.

 <

Three large miniatures apparently missing, for the openings of the hours of the Cross, of sext and of compline (before ff. 51, 62 and 77). Nine large miniatures survive, usually surrounding 5 (but occasionally 6 or 4) lines of text, enclosed by painted gold architectural or picture frames, and set against a rust-colored ground. The miniatures, with subjects in large scale in the forground in the style of Jean Bourdichon, are: f. 25 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, similar to Paris, Bibl. Mazarine, MS 507, f. 38, reproduced in R. Limousin, Jean Bourdichon (Lyons 1954) fig. 162; f. 41 (Lauds), Visitation, as in Bibl. Mazarine, MS 507, f. 47v, reproduced by Limousin, fig. 163; f. 51 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 52v (Prime), Nativity, as in Bibl. Mazarine, MS 507, f. 59v, reproduced by Limousin, fig. 164; f. 58v (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds; f. 65v (None), Presentation in the temple; f. 70 (Vespers), Joseph with a pack on a stick looking on as the Child Jesus leads his Mother; all 3 walking; Joseph's face similar to that in Bibl. Mazarine, MS 507, f. 82, reproduced by Limousin, fig. 165; f. 89 (Penitential psalms), David, three-quarter length, in armour against a solid color background, in portrait style; the painted gold picture frame surrounding this miniature set with jewels; f. 105 (Office of the Dead), the Three Living and the Three Dead: one of the Dead holds up a mirror reflecting the image of one of the Living, as he is now, still healthy and alive.

Four initials, 4-line, in a white leaf pattern with a face in gold camaïeu as infilling: on f. 17 (Obsecro te) and f. 20 (O intemerata), images of the Virgin; on f. 51 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), an old man's face; on f. 89 (Penitential psalms), a bust of a bear (?) in clothes. Initial on f. 23v (Septem gaudia), 7-line, gold, on a square brick-red ground. Other initials, 4- or 3-line, as gold or white leaves on gold-decorated squares of ochre, brick-red or blue; 2- and 1-line initials in painted gold on colored grounds; ribbon line fillers in the same manner. Rubrics usually in the same pale red as the ruling, sometimes in an orangetinged red (associated with the second scribe).

Written in a bâtarde script, the main body of the text in one hand. A second scribe appears to have been responsible for most occurrences of the suffrage of All Saints (after each hour in the hours of the Virgin), and for the short hours of the Cross and the Holy Spirit; he often copies only one side of a leaf or picks up half-way down a page; his larger and more decorative hand usually coincides with a change in ink color (brown to grey), in rubric color (pink to red), in flourishing of the 2- and 1-line initials (finer to simpler). Folios copied by this scribe: 52, 56-58, 64-65, 69r-v, 75v line 12-76v, 80 line 20-81v, 102v line 10-104 line 8 (text at the end of the litany with a variation of Ps. 39, 15-18, versicles, responses and prayers for the pope, benefactors, the dead and absent brothers). A third hand (or a variation of the first?) copied ff. 82r-v, 87v, 88, 156-158.

Three large miniatures apparently missing, for the openings of the hours of the Cross, of sext and of compline (before ff. 51, 62 and 77). Nine large miniatures survive, usually surrounding 5 (but occasionally 6 or 4) lines of text, enclosed by painted gold architectural or picture frames, and set against a rust-colored ground. The miniatures, with subjects in large scale in the forground in the style of Jean Bourdichon, are: f. 25 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, similar to > Paris, > Bibl. Mazarine, > MS 507 > , f. 38, reproduced in R. Limousin, Jean Bourdichon (Lyons 1954) fig. 162; f. 41 (Lauds), Visitation, as in > Bibl.

Mazarine, > MS 507 > , f. 82, reproduced by Limousin, fig. 165; f. 89 (Penitential psalms), David, three-quarter length, in armour against a solid color background, in portrait style; the painted gold picture frame surrounding this miniature set with jewels; f. 105 (Office of the Dead), the Three Living and the Three Dead: one of the Dead holds up a mirror reflecting the image of one of the Living, as he is now, still healthy and alive.

Four initials, 4-line, in a white leaf pattern with a face in gold camaïeu as infilling: on f. 17 (Obsecro te) and f. 20 (O intemerata), images of the Virgin; on f. 51 (Hours of the Holy Spirit), an old man's face; on f. 89 (Penitential psalms), a bust of a bear (?) in clothes. Initial on f. 23v (Septem gaudia), 7-line, gold, on a square brick-red ground. Other initials, 4- or 3-line, as gold or white leaves on gold-decorated squares of ochre, brick-red or blue; 2- and 1-line initials in painted gold on colored grounds; ribbon line fillers in the same manner. Rubrics usually in the same pale red as the ruling, sometimes in an orangetinged red (associated with the second scribe).

Written in the second half of the fifteenth century for use in Rouen, to judge from the liturgical use of the hours of the Virgin, and from the saints in the calendar and the litany.

On f. i is the note “ex libris joannis baptistae de mydorge,” possibly written by the same person who filled the 3 back flyleaves with birth notices of Monsieur Mydorge, sieur de Fretay, of his wife, Marie le Bossu, the date of their marriage and the birth and baptism (at the “fons de St. Paul de Paris”) of their 12 children, with dates from 1511 to 1561. Monsieur Mydorge, in listing his children's godparents includes his mother, Catherine Asselin, presumably of the well-known family originating in Rouen; this may account for the presence of a fifteenth century book of hours of the use of Rouen in Paris by the early to mid 1500s. Other names on these leaves place Monsieur Mydorge in the upper administrative echelons of his time: Olivier, Brette, Bochetel, Abra de Raconis, Bourdin, Rapoël, Bragelongne (a book of hours of the use of Rouen belonging to a “Magdalene de Brageloigne” is Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum, MS 77).

On the miniature pages, where the major initials occur, 2- and 1-line initials and line fillers often in painted gold on brick red or blue grounds; this style also for the 3-line initials on ff. 72 and 75. 4-, 2- and 1-line initials in burnished gold on alternating blue or dark pink grounds with infilling of the other color; initials within the text touched in yellow. Full traced borders of blue and gold acanthus, flowers, berries, and gold motifs on all pages, including the calendar; each page with a number of grotesques: unicorns, half-humans, hunters, mermaids, etc.; the text space and the border space outlined in pale red. Rubrics occasionally in blue or gold through f. 14; thereafter only in pale red.

Parchment,

ff. iii (of which the first once functioned as a pastedown; all 3 are part of the structure of the first quire) + 126; 205 × 145 (100 × 68) mm.

1-158(through f. 117) 162 1710(-6, 7, 8, presumably blank).

One catchword survives on f. 45v in the script of the text, written vertically along the inner bounding line; the occasional tiny mark at the lower edge of other final quire leaves, however, indicates that the normal system in this book may have been to place the catchwords horizontally in the far inner corner of the leaf. Quire signatures, excluding the calendar, run a-[n?], with the leaves indicated by early form arabic numerals; beginning with the eleventh quire [“i”], another parallel set of quire and leaf signatures begins, a-e and 1-4 in early form arabic numerals, placed in the center of the lower margin.

Early modern numbering of the quires in red-tinged ink in the gutter of the first recto.

In the main body of the text, 18 long lines, ruled in faint red-brown ink, with the script set above the line; on ff. 118-124, 16-18 lines of text, apparently unruled.

Written in a bâtarde script; ff. 117-124 in an italic hand.

Seventeen miniatures in arched compartments enclosed by simple bar frames of leaf gold and color; another strip of painted gold parallels the outer edge of the arch and encloses the 4 lines of text. The outer borders, in a rather spiky blue and dark painted gold acanthus, painted gold dots and a few flowers, berries, clusters of grapes, acorns, pomegranates or thistles of restrained colors: grey, dark rose, pale green. The miniatures were numbered in early form arabic numerals in the center lower margin as suggested by the survival of the numbers 11, 13-17 on ff. 50, 56, 61, 65, 79, 84. The miniatures, which have been attributed to Simon Marmion1 and helpers (particularly in the backgrounds?), are: f. 14, John sitting on a rocky promontory with the eagle perched on a single rock in the foreground; undulating water surrounds the island and in the far distance a many-spired city is visible; f. 15v, in large scale, the Virgin, holding a diminutive baby Jesus, poses at an open window for Luke who is finishing a portrait of them set on a large easel; the ox lies on the floor at Luke's feet; f. 17, in large scale, with the angel behind him holding a scroll bearing his name, Matthew sits at his desk writing in a thick codex; a convex mirror hangs from the shelf above his desk, upon which there is a clear glass vase; f. 18v, in large scale, Mark concentrates on his writing on a scroll in a barrel-valuted room, while the lion at his feet stares at the viewer; f. 20 (Mass of the Virgin), seated on a gothic tracery throne in the center of the miniature, Mary holds the tiny baby Jesus in her lap while angels play music at either side; f. 24 (Hours of the Cross), a very thin Christ hangs on the cross, with Mary, John and the holy women on his right, and the soldiers on the left; behind him a city is silhouetted against the goldencolored sky; f. 28 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, set in a gothic church, symmetrically arranged with Mary and the archangel Gabriel at the 2 sides and a gold altar in the center, below a green canopy; f. 35 (Lauds), Visitation, with a farmyard and its dovecote in the middle ground, and an ethereal city in the backgroung; f. 44 (Prime), done by helpers (?), Annunciation to the shepherds, one with a flute tucked in his belt, the other with bagpipes who protects his eyes with an upraised arm, listening to the host of angels, as does a shepherdess who has been interrupted in making a garland; f. 47 (Terce), Nativity, with the tiny doll-like baby Jesus lying on the bare ground in the shed, viewed from directly in front; 2 shepherds gaze over a wattle partition on the left, and Joseph arrives, holding a candle, from the right; f. 50 (Sext), Adoration of the Magi; the oldest Magus, his crown in hand and his gift on the orange-draped bed, kneels to kiss the foot of the tiny baby Jesus who is held up by Mary; Joseph stands to one side with hat in hand; f. 53 (None), Presentation in the temple, which is open frontally to the viewer; a group of men and women observe the scene and each other with interest; f. 56 (Vespers), Flight into Egypt; Joseph, leading the donkey and carrying a bundle on a stick on his back, turns to look at Mary who, wearing a hat and holding the baby, has the donkey's reins in her free hand; in the far distance a group of soldiers is seen pursuing them; f. 61 (Compline), Coronation of the Virgin, who sits on a gold gothic throne while Jesus, with tiara and cross and orb, blesses her, and bands of orange or blue angels frame the scene on either side; f. 65 (Penitential psalms), David, his harp leaning up against a rock, prays to God the Father who appears picked out in gold against the dark blue sky; a small angel in white mediates between them; f. 79 (Obsecro te), the Virgin, seated on a gold throne at the end of a narrow room, nurses the Child, while groups of singing and music-playing angels stand at the sides of the throne; f. 84 (Office of the Dead), Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, while his sisters kneel in prayer, and a group of men watches intently.

4- and 2-line initials in burnished gold with a design painted on the gold; infillings of dark blue acanthus leaves picked out in gold on maroon grounds of the same style, or vice versa. 1-line initials in burnished gold with infillings of dark blue or maroon on grounds of the other color; initials within the text touched in yellow. Rubrics in red. Full traced borders on every page, contained by 2 thin painted gold lines around the written space and around the outer edge of the border. On ff. 117-124: 3- and 2-line initials in gold curled forms against shaded square red or blue grounds; 1-line painted gold initials on alternating blue or maroon square grounds. On f. 117r-v, the last leaf of the quire, the full acanthus border; on successive leaves the text is framed by illusionistic painted gold molding.

 <

The book has apparently been in loose quires since its acquisition and is kept in a black morocco box made by Lloyd, Wallis and Lloyd; the red velvet back cover from the binding retained in Library files.

Written in northeastern France; note, in the calendar, “michiel,” “franchois,” “berthelemieu.”

Among the early owners were members of the family of Berlaymont as indicated by a death note on f. ii for “michiel de Berlaymont” dated 1516; notes on f. 10r-v give the death date of 1558 for “ma femme” whose body was brought to Berlaymont for burial, and again the date of 1558 for the dedication of the church of Berlaymont by the suffragan bishop of Cambrai. Two coats of arms added on f. 13r-v, on a leaf perhaps originally ruled and decorated for a calendar page probably represent the arms of Charles de Berlaymont, Baron of Lens and Knight of the Golden Fleece (1510-78) and his wife, Adrienne, daughter of Louis de Ligne, Baron of Barbaçon. The arms are: f. 13, encircled by a Renaissance wreath, per pale, I, arms of Berlaymont of Namur province (Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 187); II, quarterly 1 and 4, arms of Ligne (Rietstap, vol. 4, pl. 65); 2 and 3, arms of Barbaçon of Hainaut (Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 121); on f. 13v, the arms of Berlaymont encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, presumably added between 1556, when Charles received the Golden Fleece, and his death in 1578. The manuscript was in the possession of a book dealer of Prague, Alexander Storch, in November 1896; Christie's, 9 April 1900, n. 234 (bought in); Catalogue 96 (March 1901) of Ellis and Elvey, pp. 1-6 with a long description by J. W. Bradley. Acquired by E. Dwight Church (1835-1908); in his Catalogue... of English Literature (1909) vol. 1, n. 401 with a plate of f. 24.

The Church collection was purchased by Henry E. Huntington in 1911.

The miniatures, which have been attributed to Simon Marmion > 1 and helpers (particularly in the backgrounds?), are: f. 14, John sitting on a rocky promontory with the eagle perched on a single rock in the foreground; undulating water surrounds the island and in the far distance a many-spired city is visible; f. 15v, in large scale, the Virgin, holding a diminutive baby Jesus, poses at an open window for Luke who is finishing a portrait of them set on a large easel; the ox lies on the floor at Luke's feet; f. 17, in large scale, with the angel behind him holding a scroll bearing his name, Matthew sits at his desk writing in a thick codex; a convex mirror hangs from the shelf above his desk, upon which there is a clear glass vase; f. 18v, in large scale, Mark concentrates on his writing on a scroll in a barrel-valuted room, while the lion at his feet stares at the viewer; f. 20 (Mass of the Virgin), seated on a gothic tracery throne in the center of the miniature, Mary holds the tiny baby Jesus in her lap while angels play music at either side; f. 24 (Hours of the Cross), a very thin Christ hangs on the cross, with Mary, John and the holy women on his right, and the soldiers on the left; behind him a city is silhouetted against the goldencolored sky; f. 28 (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation, set in a gothic church, symmetrically arranged with Mary and the archangel Gabriel at the 2 sides and a gold altar in the center, below a green canopy; f. 35 (Lauds), Visitation, with a farmyard and its dovecote in the middle ground, and an ethereal city in the backgroung; f. 44 (Prime), done by helpers (?), Annunciation to the shepherds, one with a flute tucked in his belt, the other with bagpipes who protects his eyes with an upraised arm, listening to the host of angels, as does a shepherdess who has been interrupted in making a garland; f. 47 (Terce), Nativity, with the tiny doll-like baby Jesus lying on the bare ground in the shed, viewed from directly in front; 2 shepherds gaze over a wattle partition on the left, and Joseph arrives, holding a candle, from the right; f. 50 (Sext), Adoration of the Magi; the oldest Magus, his crown in hand and his gift on the orange-draped bed, kneels to kiss the foot of the tiny baby Jesus who is held up by Mary; Joseph stands to one side with hat in hand; f. 53 (None), Presentation in the temple, which is open frontally to the viewer; a group of men and women observe the scene and each other with interest; f. 56 (Vespers), Flight into Egypt; Joseph, leading the donkey and carrying a bundle on a stick on his back, turns to look at Mary who, wearing a hat and holding the baby, has the donkey's reins in her free hand; in the far distance a group of soldiers is seen pursuing them; f. 61 (Compline), Coronation of the Virgin, who sits on a gold gothic throne while Jesus, with tiara and cross and orb, blesses her, and bands of orange or blue angels frame the scene on either side; f. 65 (Penitential psalms), David, his harp leaning up against a rock, prays to God the Father who appears picked out in gold against the dark blue sky; a small angel in white mediates between them; f. 79 (Obsecro te), the Virgin, seated on a gold throne at the end of a narrow room, nurses the Child, while groups of singing and music-playing angels stand at the sides of the throne; f. 84 (Office of the Dead), Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, while his sisters kneel in prayer, and a group of men watches intently.

Among the early owners were members of the family of Berlaymont as indicated by a death note on f. ii for ?michiel de Berlaymont? dated 1516; notes on f. 10r-v give the death date of 1558 for ?ma femme? whose body was brought to Berlaymont for burial, and again the date of 1558 for the dedication of the church of Berlaymont by the suffragan bishop of Cambrai. Two coats of arms added on f. 13r-v, on a leaf perhaps originally ruled and decorated for a calendar page probably represent the arms of Charles de Berlaymont, Baron of Lens and Knight of the Golden Fleece (1510-78) and his wife, Adrienne, daughter of Louis de Ligne, Baron of Barbaçon. The arms are: f. 13, encircled by a Renaissance wreath, per pale, I, arms of Berlaymont of Namur province ( > Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 187); II, quarterly 1 and 4, arms of Ligne > (Rietstap, vol. 4, pl. 65); 2 and 3, arms of Barbaçon of Hainaut > (Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 121); on f. 13v, the arms of Berlaymont encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, presumably added between 1556, when Charles received the Golden Fleece, and his death in 1578. The manuscript was in the possession of a book dealer of Prague, Alexander Storch, in November 1896; Christie's, 9 April 1900, n. 234 (bought in); Catalogue 96 (March 1901) of Ellis and Elvey, pp. 1-6 with a long description by J.

Full borders of similar style on the leaves facing the miniatures and on ff. 14, 19, 34 (to face the missing miniatures); the borders on ff. 40, 42, 45 are geometric with many figures; those on ff. 48, 49, 50, 51 (compartmentalized), 52, 53 (painted gold ground), 54 do not face illuminations but are triggered by the presence of 9-line initials; those on ff. 61, 62, 63, 64r-v, 65v, 66, 67, also with 9-line initials, decorated with the IHS monogram. 9-line initials in white-patterned pink or blue on burnished gold ground with colored trilobe leaf infilling; 2- and 1-line initials in gold on blue or pink with infilling of the other color; initials within the text touched in yellow.

Eleven full page miniatures on the versos of inserted singletons, blank on the recto; the miniatures in arched compartments framed by wide, colored bands decorated with lettering, fine arabesques, or painted gold spiky leaves twisted about a blue rod; the outer border consists of thin, long-stemmed multicolored acanthus leaves, symmetrically arranged around flowers, birds, grey grapes, strawberries and occasional figures of men, angels, or grotesques. The miniatures are related in style to those of the Master of Guillebert de Mets and the Master of the Privileges of Ghent,1 but have been repainted in varying degree, perhaps in the seventeenth century: f. 21v (Hours of the Cross), Crucifixion with Mary and John; f. 26v (Hours of the Holy Spirit), Pentecost; f. 31v (Hours of the Virgin), Annunciation; f. 51v (Prime), Nativity; f. 57v (Terce), Annunciation to the shepherds; f. 62v (Sext), Presentation in the temple; f. 67v (None), Adoration of the Magi; f. 72v (Vespers), Massacre of the Innocents: a turbaned mother kneels before Herod as soldiers enter with bloody heads of children on the tips of their swords; f. 80v (Compline), Flight into Egypt, with Mary nursing the Baby; f. 88v (Penitential psalms), David in prayer; f. 107v (Office of the Dead), Raising of Lazarus.

Major initials on text pages facing the miniatures, 7- or 6-line, white-patterned blue or pink on burnished gold grounds, with infilling of shaded leaves of many colors; a decorated, wide, burnished gold band in U-shape encloses the written space on 3 sides; the full border does not match that of the inserted miniature pages, but is formed of a dense pattern of acanthus leaves in gold and dark blue, with the ribs picked out by a row of white dots; also in the outer border are flowers, some growing out of pots, grapes, pears, birds and grotesques. On f. 135, a 6-line initial in the same style as above, but with bracket border; a 6-line initial (f. 139), a 5-line initial (f. 143), and the 4-, 3-, and 2-line initials in burnished gold on parted pink and blue grounds, and producing a bracket border to the left of the text; 1-line initials in gold on blue grounds with pink infilling, or vice versa; ribbon line fillers of the same colors. Some flourishes touched in pink on the top-line ascenders or on the bottom-line descenders. Bracket borders in the calendar. Rubrics in pale pink.

Note on f. 160v, below the text, in a later hand: “act. x Ja. a. mlii.”

Bound, s. XVI, in pink velvet, very worn, over wooden boards; 2 gilt fore edge clasps; gilt edges; offset of binding reinforcement, apparently a document in French, s. XV2, on inside front cover and on the recto of the now lifted pastedown.

Written in the middle of the fifteenth century in Flanders; liturgical use undetermined. The miniatures may not have been originally intended for this book, since the borders don't match; those for sext and none appear reversed, with the Presentation in the Temple preceding the Adoration of the Magi; all the full-page miniatures have been repainted.

A possession note on the back flyleaf identifies a late sixteenth century owner as Johannes Hullandt; in another inscription, ca. 1600 (?), Carolus Hullandt “vicecomes Rolariensis villae” (Rousselaere?) gives the book to Catarina van Huerne. On the front flyleaf, f. i verso, are pious phrases and the inscription “Vertu pour guide, Jacqueline van.” On f. ii verso, the inscriptions: “This Book belonged to Queen Mary of Scotland And shee used it at her death upon the Scaffold” (legible only under ultra-violet light), and “The above the Hand writing of King James the [?] 2,” (s. XIX). A letter from Charles Browne Mostyn to Sir Gregory O. Page-Turner dated 1822 repeats this information, adding that the book eventually passed to the Scots College in Paris, where Mostyn obtained it during the Revolution. The letter, once loose in the manuscript, is now shelved as HM 46702. Sold at the Page-Turner sale, Battlesden House, 19 October 1824, probably n. 2524; Samuel Addington sale, Sotheby's, 24 May 1886, n. 285 to Nattali; belonged to Charles Butler (1821-1910); his sale, Sotheby's, 18 March 1912, pt. III, n. 2377 to Sabin. Purchased from the Minneapolis bookseller and collector, Edmund D. Brooks by William K. Bixby (1857-1931) of St. Louis (St. Louis Republic, 18 March 1917, Feature section, p. 1).

Acquired from him by Henry E. Huntington through G. D. Smith in August 1918.

Written at the end of the fifteenth century in France, but of undetermined liturgical use, with general calendar and litany.

On the first front and back flyleaf the same name has been written and crossed out; on the front is also the date “ce 26 Sept. 1811” and several flourishes, all in the same ink as the name. A note in French on the front pastedown discusses text and miniatures. Belonged to Robert Hoe: Grolier Club (1892) n. 24; Cat.

Major initials on text pages facing the miniatures, 7- or 6-line, white-patterned blue or pink on burnished gold grounds, with infilling of shaded leaves of many colors; a decorated, wide, burnished gold band in U-shape encloses the written space on 3 sides; the full border does not match that of the inserted miniature pages, but is formed of a dense pattern of acanthus leaves in gold and dark blue, with the ribs picked out by a row of white dots; also in the outer border are flowers, some growing out of pots, grapes, pears, birds and grotesques. On f. 135, a 6-line initial in the same style as above, but with bracket border; a 6-line initial (f. 139), a 5-line initial (f. 143), and the 4-, 3-, and 2-line initials in burnished gold on parted pink and blue grounds, and producing a bracket border to the left of the text; 1-line initials in gold on blue grounds with pink infilling, or vice versa; ribbon line fillers of the same colors.

Written in the middle of the fifteenth century in Flanders; liturgical use undetermined.

A possession note on the back flyleaf identifies a late sixteenth century owner as Johannes Hullandt; in another inscription, ca. 1600 (?), Carolus Hullandt ?vicecomes Rolariensis villae? (Rousselaere?) gives the book to Catarina van Huerne. On the front flyleaf, f. i verso, are pious phrases and the inscription ?Vertu pour guide, Jacqueline van.? On f. ii verso, the inscriptions: ?This Book belonged to Queen Mary of Scotland And shee used it at her death upon the Scaffold? (legible only under ultra-violet light), and ?The above the Hand writing of King James the [?] 2,? (s. XIX). A letter from Charles Browne Mostyn to Sir Gregory O. Page-Turner dated 1822 repeats this information, adding that the book eventually passed to the Scots College in Paris, where Mostyn obtained it during the Revolution. The letter, once loose in the manuscript, is now shelved as > HM 46702 > . Sold at the Page-Turner sale, Battlesden House, 19 October 1824, probably n. 2524; Samuel Addington sale, Sotheby's, 24 May 1886, n. 285 to Nattali; belonged to Charles Butler (1821-1910); his sale, Sotheby's, 18 March 1912, pt. III, n. 2377 to Sabin. Purchased from the Minneapolis bookseller and collector, Edmund D. Brooks by William K. Bixby (1857-1931) of St. Louis ( > St. Louis Republic, 18 March 1917, Feature section, p. 1).

Written in England, both the main text and the inserted quire (ff. 19-28), in the middle of the fifteenth century. The main text copied for Robert Taylor of Boxford (Suffolk) by Symon Wysbech, a student of canon law at Cambridge (not identified in Emden, BRUC); Wysbech's name and English forms such as “xalle,” “qwich” point to East Anglia.

On the modern front flyleaf, a description of the manuscript, signed “T” (or “J”?), possibly copied from a bookdealer's catalogue, referring to “Bohn, a former possessor”; this may be Henry George Bohn (1796-1884), the bookdealer, publisher and bibliographer. HM 1336, however, does not appear in his famous “Guinea” catalogue (1841) nor in his sales by Sotheby's, 10 February 1868 or 9 May 1870. Erased inscription, ca. 1900, on the front pastedown, “J. M. Da Costa from B. Coxe.”

Said by E. M. Thompson, The Carthusian Order in England (London 1930) 331 and 339 to have once belonged to Mount Grace because of its later Ingibly ownership; however, the manuscript seems to have entered the Ingilby library at a relatively late date, given the frequence of other sixteenth century ownership notes. Notes and pen trials include: f. 21, s. XV, in plummet, recorded in the 1930s, but no longer visible, “F a mersy quod s”; in the same hand apparently, and only barely visible, f. 36v, “W. Saxy.” In late sixteenth century hands are: f. 1v, twice, “Christofer <?>”; f. 80, “Thys indenteuer mayd pe xiiii day of fabruary in the xi year of the reayne of oure soferayng lady Elezabeth by the g.” (1569); f. 96v, “Wylliam Barkar est verus possessor,” “William Barkar ons this booke” 3 times (possibly the Cambridge scholar, William Barker, fl. 1572); f. 97, “Thys Indenture mayd the xxiii day of iuli in the xi day [sic] of the reande of our soferyegn lady Quen,” and, in a different hand, “Thomas Allyn of ronla ys a good felo <?> honorificatibilitudinitatibus <?>” (this same playful word in New Haven, Yale University, Beinecke Library, MS 60, f. 141); f. 106v, “Peter sa <?>”; f. 107, a copy of a receipt in which “Lorances Baynes” is paid for one close for a term of 6 years, to be occupied by “Rychard Stewenson,” 18 October 1556.

(or ?J??), possibly copied from a bookdealer's catalogue, referring to ?Bohn, a former possessor?; this may be Henry George Bohn (1796-1884), the bookdealer, publisher and bibliographer. HM 1336, however, does not appear in his famous ?Guinea? catalogue (1841) nor in his sales by Sotheby's, 10 February 1868 or 9 May 1870. Erased inscription, ca. 1900, on the front pastedown, ?J. M. Da Costa from B. Coxe.?

Said by E. M. Thompson, The Carthusian Order in England (London 1930) 331 and 339 to have once belonged to Mount Grace because of its later Ingibly ownership; however, the manuscript seems to have entered the Ingilby library at a relatively late date, given the frequence of other sixteenth century ownership notes.

H. Oesterley, ed., Gesta Romanorum (Berlin 1872); the chapter sequence of this manuscript appears most similar to Oesterley's III, Cod. Gotting. Luneb. 46, fol.; see his pp. 16-17.

Catchwords only occasionally present, written horizontally in inner corner.

24-27 long lines, frame ruled in dry point or faintly in lead with single bounding lines; pricking visible in all 4 margins.

Possibly as many as 8 cursive hands: i, f. 3v; ii, ff. 4-15v; iii, ff. 16-23 and 134-165v; iv, ff. 24-63; v, ff. 68-99v and 114-132; vi, ff. 101-113; vii, ff. 166-175v; viii, ff. 176-187.

Written after 30 November 1422 when a flood of the Tiber, mentioned of f. 99, occurred. The manuscript may have been written in Italy given the watermark and the subject matter, but was in England soon thereafter as shown by the added material in distinctly English hands, some of which pertains to Westminster; it is attributed to Westminster by Ker, MLGB, 197, with a question mark.

Belonged to Edward Herbert, first Baron Herbert of Cherbury (1583-1648), whose calligraphic monogram, “E” superimposed on an “H,” appears on f. 4; his indication of price is on f. 1. He bequeathed his Latin and Greek printed books to Jesus College, Oxford; see C. J. Fordyce and T. M. Knox, “The Library of Jesus College, Oxford,” Proceedings of the Oxford Bibliographical Society 5.2 (1937) 53-115; the plate following p. 72 shows Herbert's monogram and price notation. Herbert's manuscripts were left to his grandson, Edward, the third Baron; later they belonged to George Charles Hebert, 4th Earl of Powis (1862-1952); his sale, Sotheby's, 20 March 1923, lot 338 to Rosenbach;

Written in England in the first half of the fourteenth century;

it has been suggested that the “count de D.” on f. 186v is to be identified with Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devonshire (d. 1419). See J. Backhouse, The Madresfield Hours (The Roxburghe Club, 1975), especially Appendix, pp. 30-33, for a list of 24 other books of hours made for English owners between about 1240 and the middle of the fourteenth century (this manuscript not listed). On the front pastedown, a square label bearing, within a blue circle, the pressmark “A. III. 72.” Quaritch Gen. Cat. (1880) n. 8557; Howell Wills sale, London, 1894, n. 375 to Quaritch. Quaritch catalogues: 144 (1894) n. 33; 149 (1895) n. 11; 154 (1895) n. 167; 193 (1899) n. 173; 211 (1902) n. 62.

Parchment,

ff. iii (contemporary parchment) + 205 + iii (contemporary parchment);

100 × 70 (80 × 50) mm.

14(+1, the portrait) 22 3-228 238(-7, 8, after f. 173) 24-278.

15 long lines ruled in pale brownish-red ink.

Written in a late hybrida script.

On f. 1, a portrait of excellent quality (French?), 62 × 54 mm., of a woman with delicate features, holding a flower, the usual indication of a wedding portrait; in the upper corner, “Etatis 32.”

Opening initial, f. 2, 5-line, in gold arabesques on a patterned blue ground, enclosed by a simple gold frame; 2-line initials in gold or white on rose, brown, green or blue grounds, patterned in gold; 1-line initials within the text slashed in red; punctuation and rubrics in red; light blue-grey paragraph marks. Numerous attractively colored gesticulating hands in the margins, as many as 3 to an opening, to call attention to underscored sections of the text.

<

Bound, s. XVIII, in German calf.

 <

Written in Flanders in the second quarter of the sixteenth century; “Anno 1478” is written in a contemporary hand on the front flyleaf i verso and on the back flyleaf iii.

The first owner was probably the woman whose portrait is on f. 1; on f. 1v, the initials of her name or of her motto. The book may have been a wedding gift.

Purchased by Henry E. Huntington in September 1926 from R. Koehler of Portland, Oregon.

Parchment,

2 consecutive leaves;

302 × 214 (247 × 180) mm.

14 lines of text, ruled in dry point on the hair side with triple vertical bounding lines; pricking in slash form visible in the outer margin of f. 2.

Written in a minuscule script;

music in neumes on a 3-line stave, F in red and the other 2 lines ruled in dry point; clefs A, C and F written to the left of the text.

On f. 1, opening initial, ca. 75 × 50 mm., in red and green with blue and green infilling, decorated with white vine stem. Secondary initials, ca. 15 × 15 mm., alternating ink of the text and red, set outside the written space; rubrics in red.

 <

Written in the first half of the twelfth century in Italy, perhaps Lucca, given the form of the neumes; the presence of 12 responses shows monastic origin.

Geographical description of the coasts of the world: Europe, Africa, southern and eastern Asia (including Japan and the East Indies), the Americas from the La Plata River to the Carribean, Peru, the east coast of North America to Labrador and Greenland, with descriptions of the inhabitants, customs, products and brief historical notices, especially for Europe and the Holy Lands.

Paper

(arrow of the type of Briquet, Fleche 6299, Augsburg 1554 with sim. var. Fabriano 1554 and 1576; also somewhat similar to Heawood, Arrow 40, Rome 1561),

ff. iv (paper s. XVII?) + 168 + ii (paper, s. XVII?);

284 × 222 (225 × 143) mm.

18(+1) 2-208 218(8 is flyleaf).

25-27 long lines, frame ruled in dry point, possibly following the chain marks.

Written in an italic script; a later addition (?), the prologue on f. 1r-v, and later replacements (?), ff. 162-163v and 168r-v (conjunct with 163) by a different hand and on paper of different watermark.

First words of each chapter in pale red square capitals often decorated with flourishes, those on f. 83v with an angel's head. Within the text, place names and numbers for distances, degrees and dates in the same pale red; same color for finding notes in the margin.

<

Bound, s. XVII?, in Spanish limp parchment; remains of 2 fore edge ties; red edges.

 <

Written in Spain after 1570, the earliest possible date of composition of the text.

On f. 83, otherwise blank, contemporary pen trials including the names “Gonzalo de Faloxa <?>” and “Antonio”; other pen trials on f. 164v. On ff. 1 and 168v, ownership note and rubric (in the Spanish sense) of Don Vicente Antonio de Rendon Co Burgos; the added mention of Burgos to the text on f. 4 is probably attributable to this owner. Also on f. 1, a monogram of superimposed letters “A.R.O.T.E. (or L.)” and a note “Ano de 76 [?].” Belonged to the Spanish writer, philologist and politician, Diego Clemencin (1765-1834), whose shelf mark on a slip of paper is pasted to the first flyleaf over an inked out inscription. On the front pastedown, a modern armorial bookplate, imitative of a late medieval woodcut, with the initials “A.G.” and the motto “Que Quede Vida En La Muerte Velar Se Deve En La Vida De Tal Suerte.”

Parchment,

f. 1,

590 × 400 (570 × 390) mm.

Border is yellow band edged in black with simple arabesque and dot design, on three sides only, which suggests it may be a “half-chart” of the North Atlantic.

Black and red ink for nomenclature, in a cursive hand with area names in display script;

land masses outlined in color, islands painted red and green; 2 compass roses (main one with Tudor rose in center); usual 32 rhumb line network with black, red and green ink for the principal directions; latitude scale numbered from 5° to 56° N, no longitude; numbered distance scale in cartouche decorated with stylized leaf and fruit design; no decoration except for the distance scale and compass roses.

<

Unbound: possibly originally mounted on boards since there is a sharp vertical crease in the center of this chart, but there are no cut-outs for hinges. A lesser horizontal fold was possibly made to fit a later binding. Chart is now flattened and in modern portfolio.

 <

Probably made in London by a member of the Thames School of Chartmakers at the beginning of the seventeenth century.

No owners' markings; according to Anderson sale catalogue, chart was found in chest of documents related to Plymouth district of Devonshire, all dated before 1601. Belonged to E. Williams.

Bifolia attached sequentially with tabs.

Border is a red band with a single black rule on each side.

Bound, ca. 1830, with HM 31, in pink marbled paper over cardboard, brown calf spine.

Inscribed “Salvator Oliva fecit in civitate marsiliae, Anno 1619.”

Sale of the library of Abate Luigi Celotti (ca. 1768-ca. 1846), Sotheby's, 14 March 1825, lot 207. A sale catalogue slip affixed to front pastedown describes a “... map of the World on three leaves.” Since this volume also contains the Mediterranean chart made by Estienne Bremond (HM 31) which forms the third leaf and since neither is a “World map,” the sale catalogue entry either was carelessly made or the slip actually refers to a different portolan chart and was erroneously placed in this volume. This volume may instead have been lot 210 or lot 283 in the Celotti sale: both numbers are pencilled on the pastedown. Number 391 on back pastedown refers to Cochrane's sale of the library of Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guilford (1766-1827), to Sir Thomas Phillipps, 8 December 1830 as dated by A. N. L.

Written in France, perhaps in Paris, during the next to the last decade of the thirteenth century,

but in England by the third or certainly the last quarter of the fourteenth century, to judge by the script of the note added on f. 11v, correcting the king's name from “Edmundus” to “Edwardus.” A modern note on f. i states that the manuscript came from Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire; rejected by Ker, MLGB, 89. Belonged to Sir Henry Ingilby, Bart., of Ripley Castle, Yorkshire and later to Lt. Col. Sir William Henry Ingilby, Bart.

Sale of the library of Abate Luigi Celotti (ca. 1768-ca. 1846), Sotheby's, 14 March 1825, lot 207. A sale catalogue slip affixed to front pastedown describes a ?... map of the World on three leaves.? Since this volume also contains the Mediterranean chart made by Estienne Bremond (HM 31) which forms the third leaf and since neither is a ?World map,? the sale catalogue entry either was carelessly made or the slip actually refers to a different portolan chart and was erroneously placed in this volume. This volume may instead have been lot 210 or lot 283 in the Celotti sale: both numbers are pencilled on the pastedown. Number 391 on back pastedown refers to Cochrane's sale of the library of Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guilford (1766-1827), to Sir Thomas Phillipps, 8 December 1830 as dated by A. N. L. Munby, The Formation of the Phillipps Library up to the Year 1840, Phillipps Studies (Cambridge 1951-60) 3:56. Front pastedown bears his number ?Phillipps MS 6360.?

Four miniatures, 13- or 12-line, enclosed by painted illusionistic frames in orange, blue or pink decorated with clusters of 3 white dots; the frame on f. 65 consists of alternating orange and green ribbons twined around a blue rod. Outer borders of narrow gold and colored bars, lush multicolored acanthus leaves, and some black ink spray extensions with gold dots and green tendrils. Three of the miniatures are attributed to followers of Herman Scheerre (ff. 43, 65, and 104); the last miniature, f. 122, is attributed to Scheerre himself by C. Kuhn, “Herman Scheerre and English Illumination of the early Fifteenth Century,” Art Bulletin 22 (1940) 138-56, especially p. 149 and fig. 11 of f. 122. The miniatures are: f. 43 (Penitential psalms), the Last Judgment with Christ sitting on a rainbow showing his wounds, and the heads of 4 dead visible in their graves (similar composition in the Bedford Psalter, London, Brit. Lib., Add. 42131, f. 37); f. 65 (Office of the Dead), a burial service with hooded mourners in black holding candles, and 3 priests (a more elaborate composition in the Hours of Elizabeth the Queen, London, Brit. Lib., Add. 50001, reproduced in Illustrations from One Hundred Manuscripts in the Library of Henry Yates Thompson, London 1914, vol. 4, pl. 67 of f. 55b); f. 104 (Commendation of souls), God the Father holds 3 naked souls in a sheet against a background of angels in vermilion camaïeu (see London, Brit. Lib., Add. 16998, f. 44); f. 122 (Psalter of St. Jerome), Jerome in his study.

The individual hours of the Virgin are introduced by the same style of acanthus leaf borders as above, and by 7-line shaded initials in colors with infilling of lush acanthus leaf and ground of another color; 3- and 2-line initials in gold on a colored ground, infilled with an acanthus leaf, and with black ink spray extension. 1-line initials, gold with purple flourishing or blue with red; jigsaw line fillers in blue and gold. On ff. 138-142, by a different illuminator, only 2-line initials in gold on white-patterned blue or dusky pink ground, infilled with the other color and with small sprays. Rubrics throughout.

<

Bound in modern polished blue calf with 4 parchment tabs at the head.

Written in England and dated ca. 1405 by C. Kuhn (see above) on the basis of style.

In the lower margin of f. 1 are the initials “I.G.” in a late sixteenth or early seventeenth century hand. Acquired by Dr. Eric G. Millar (1887-1966) from James Thorp in London, 1934; his notes, ff. i-ii, and on file; his sale, Sotheby's, 15 June 1959 lot 190 with a plate of all 4 miniatures.

A composite volume in 4 parts, written in England in the middle of the thirteenth century; all the scribes write above the top line.

Although the 1959 Sotheby catalogue (see below) suggests that the manuscript may have belonged to the Augustinians of St. Osyth near Colchester because of the invocations of St. Osyth on ff. 184 and 200 (and possibly in the erasures on ff. 229, 334), there is no formal evidence to this effect. The manuscript was almost certainly in an institutional library in the fifteenth century, since below the rubric on f. 3, a later hand has added “2° folio; causa distinctionis.” Marginal notes by early owners: f. 2, s. XV: “Thoma Northall solvit domino Iohanni Wynton v s. viii d.,” and on f. 334, s. XVI: “prec. xvi s.” followed by an erasure. Belonged to the Welsh antiquary Robert Davies of Llannerch and Gwysaney (ca. 1658-1710). The earliest known catalogue of the Llannerch manuscripts, dated 1740, lists this manuscript as n. 14 (that number in ink on the front pastedown); the manuscript also appears in the 1778 catalogue as n. 69 (the cover of the manuscript has been rebacked, and thus probably lost its label with this designation). Later, when the collection had passed through inheritance to Philip Bryan Davies Cooke, a list of its contents was printed by the HMC, 6th Report, pt. I (1887-88); this manuscript on p. 419. When owned by Lt.-Col. Philip Ralph Davies-Cooke (b. 1896), the collection was placed on deposit in the National Library of Wales, 1947-59, where this book bore the number “Gwysaney 19” (in pencil on the inner front cover). For the history of the collection, see H. D. Emanuel, “The Gwysaney Manuscripts,” National Library of Wales Journal 7 (1952) 326-43.

Four miniatures, 13- or 12-line, enclosed by painted illusionistic frames in orange, blue or pink decorated with clusters of 3 white dots; the frame on f. 65 consists of alternating orange and green ribbons twined around a blue rod. Outer borders of narrow gold and colored bars, lush multicolored acanthus leaves, and some black ink spray extensions with gold dots and green tendrils. Three of the miniatures are attributed to followers of Herman Scheerre (ff. 43, 65, and 104); the last miniature, f. 122, is attributed to Scheerre himself by C. Kuhn, ?Herman Scheerre and English Illumination of the early Fifteenth Century,? Art Bulletin 22 (1940) 138-56, especially p. 149 and fig. 11 of f. 122. The miniatures are: f. 43 (Penitential psalms), the Last Judgment with Christ sitting on a rainbow showing his wounds, and the heads of 4 dead visible in their graves (similar composition in the Bedford Psalter, > London, > Brit. Lib., > Add. 42131 > , f. 37); f. 65 (Office of the Dead), a burial service with hooded mourners in black holding candles, and 3 priests (a more elaborate composition in the Hours of Elizabeth the Queen, > London, > Brit. Lib., > Add. 50001 > , reproduced in Illustrations from One Hundred Manuscripts in the Library of Henry Yates Thompson, London 1914, vol. 4, pl. 67 of f. 55b); f. 104 (Commendation of souls), God the Father holds 3 naked souls in a sheet against a background of angels in vermilion camaïeu (see > London, > Brit.

Although the 1959 Sotheby catalogue (see below) suggests that the manuscript may have belonged to the Augustinians of St. Osyth near Colchester because of the invocations of St. Osyth on ff. 184 and 200 (and possibly in the erasures on ff. 229, 334), there is no formal evidence to this effect. The manuscript was almost certainly in an institutional library in the fifteenth century, since below the rubric on f. 3, a later hand has added ?2° folio; causa distinctionis.? Marginal notes by early owners: f. 2, s. XV: ?Thoma Northall solvit domino Iohanni Wynton v s. viii d.,? and on f. 334, s. XVI: ?prec. xvi s.? followed by an erasure. Belonged to the Welsh antiquary Robert Davies of Llannerch and Gwysaney (ca. 1658-1710). The earliest known catalogue of the Llannerch manuscripts, dated 1740, lists this manuscript as n. 14 (that number in ink on the front pastedown); the manuscript also appears in the 1778 catalogue as n. 69 (the cover of the manuscript has been rebacked, and thus probably lost its label with this designation). Later, when the collection had passed through inheritance to Philip Bryan Davies Cooke, a list of its contents was printed by the HMC, 6th Report, pt. I (1887-88); this manuscript on p. 419. When owned by Lt.-Col. Philip Ralph Davies-Cooke (b. 1896), the collection was placed on deposit in the National Library of Wales, 1947-59, where this book bore the number ?Gwysaney 19? (in pencil on the inner front cover). For the history of the collection, see H. D. Emanuel, ?The Gwysaney Manuscripts,? National Library of Wales Journal 7 (1952) 326-43.

Two leaves, once used as pastedowns to judge from the stains (although not in this manuscript), and formerly laid in this volume, have been removed and catalogued as HM 46015.

Written in England in the first quarter of the fourteenth century. It appears similar in style of production, script and decoration to portions of a copy of the Apparatus on the Sext (Oxford, Bod. Lib., Lat. misc. b.16, ff. 1-72v, 151-276); for a reproduction from that manuscript, see Pächt and Alexander, 3, pl. 63, n. 610b; see also Sotheby's, 15 June 1959, lot 199.

Erased inscriptions on f. 295: “Liber magistri Richardi Langton Rectoris de Lythe,” and, in a second hand, “<?> mense <?> xvi”; Richard Langton, a bachelor in canon law, flourished 1457-58 (Emden, BRUO, 1100); Lythe is in Yorkshire. Belonged to the Welsh antiquary Robert Davies of Llannerch and Gwysaney (ca. 1658-1710). The earliest known catalogue of the Llannerch manuscripts, dated 1740, lists this manuscript as n. 3 (that number in ink on f. i); the manuscript also appears in the 1778 catalogue as n. 2 (on a paper label on the spine). Later when the collection had passed through inheritance to Philip Bryan Davies Cooke, a list of its contents was printed by the HMC, 6th Report, pt. I (1887-88); this manuscript on p. 419. When owned by Lt.-Col. Philip Ralph Davies-Cooke (b. 1896), the collection was placed on deposit in the National Library of Wales, 1947-59, where this book bore the number “Gwysaney 6” (in pencil on the front pastedown). For the history of the collection, see H. D. Emanuel, “The Gwysaney Manuscripts,” National Library of Wales Journal 7 (1952) 326-43.

Written in England; pt. I was possibly copied in the first quarter of the fourteenth century: the calendar and sanctorale, f. 181, include Thomas of Hereford, canonized in 1320, but the calendar still places the feast of the relics on 15 September rather than at the moveable date of the first Sunday after the Translation of Thomas of Canterbury (between 8-14 July); this change of date was established in 1319. Pts. II-IV were written during the fifteenth century.

A note added to the calendar at 1 July in the late fifteenth century reads: Obitus iohannis Nuby, katerine uxoris eius et agnetis Nuby et omnium fratrum et sororum istius loci. The volume was n. 398 in a book dealer's catalogue, with the relevant slip now glued to the front pastedown.

Written in England; pt. I was possibly copied in the first quarter of the fourteenth century: the calendar and sanctorale, f. 181, include Thomas of Hereford, canonized in 1320, but the calendar still places the feast of the relics on 15 September rather than at the moveable date of the first Sunday after the Translation of Thomas of Canterbury (between 8-14 July); this change of date was established in 1319. Pts. II-IV were written during the fifteenth century.

>

A note added to the calendar at 1 July in the late fifteenth century reads: Obitus iohannis Nuby, katerine uxoris eius et agnetis Nuby et omnium fratrum et sororum istius loci. The volume was n. 398 in a book dealer's catalogue, with the relevant slip now glued to the front pastedown.

Parchment,

ff. iv (early modern paper) + iv (contemporary parchment) + 258 + iv (early modern paper);

348 × 230 (230 × 142-145) mm.

Catchwords in flourished ink frames in the inner lower margin;

signatures mostly cropped: red plus sign on the first 4 leaves of quires 15, 17-18, 22, 24-29; red “a” in quire 1; brown ink “m,” “n” and “o” in quires 26, 27 and 28.

2 columns of 40 lines, ruled in ink with additional double rules in all 4 margins (omitted in lower margins of quires 8, 9, 12, 23, 31, 32); slash prick marks occasionally remaining in upper and lower margins.

Written in a calligraphic anglicana formata hand of chancery type. The hand is not dissimilar from that of Richard Frampton who signed Glasgow, University Library, Hunterian T.4.1 (84) (not 80 as in Somerville, below) and who was paid for copying the Great Cowchers (London, P. R. O. Duchy of Lancaster. Misc. Books, D.L. 42, 1 and 2), for which see R. Somerville, “The Cowcher Books of the Duchy of Lancaster,” English Historical Review 51 (1936) 598-615 and History of the Duchy of Lancaster (London 1953) vol. 1 pl. 2 facing p. 22 and pl. 7 facing p. 140.

<

Historiated initials, 8- and 7-line, in the style of the Dutch Master of the Carmelite Missal (and related to the historiated initials in the Great Cowchers), containing portraits of Henry III (f. 1), Richard II (f. 173) and Henry IV (f. 227); the leaf beginning the statutes of Edward III has been excised, but the offset of a full border remains on f. 98v. The initials are in white-highlighted blue or pink on gold grounds, with full bar borders decorated with leaves in gold, pink, blue and orange and with coats of arms (see below) possibly added on ff. 1 and 173, but integral on f. 227; the initial on f. 227, more delicately shaded than the previous 2, and with border of a slightly later style, including thimble leaves, kite leaves and green touching on the ink sprays.

3- and 2-line blue initials and blue paragraph marks, both with red flourishing; rubrics in red. In the calendar, 2-line gold initials with purple flourishing and blue initials with red; 1-line initials alternating blue with red flourishing and red with purple. Running headlines on ff. 99-105v only; chapter numbers in the margins; “ex[aminatur] per rotul[um]” in the hand of the scribe at the end of arts. 1, 2, 9, 98, 100-102, 136, 148, 149, 151, 153-160, 162-167;

notes in another hand identifying regnal year for some statutes; on f. 92, s. XV or XVI, a small sketch in ink of a young man's head; on f. iv recto and verso, s. XVII, a table giving the moral significance of various tinctures of arms.

<

Bound, s. XVII, in English brown half, gold tooled; gilt center lozenge flanked by the initials “H.N.” (the “N” stamped backwards) on both covers; rebacked with original spine laid down; remains of 2 green fore edge ties; red speckled edges.

 <

Written in England in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, but after 1407, the date of the last statute (art. 177); the table on f. 92v with dates from 1413 to 1500 may constitute a later addition. Possibly intended for owners in York, given the presence of Yorkshire saints in the calendar and the text of art. 94. The somewhat finer border on f. 227, incorporating (rather than adding) the coats of arms, suggests that the eventual owner may have decided to purchase the book rather late in its production.

The coats of arms on f. 1 are: in the upper corner, the arms of England; in the outer margin, barry of 6 or and azure, on a canton argent a chaplet gules (Holme, of Yorkshire or of Lancashire); across the lower margin, the first coat of arms, Holme impaling sable a lion rampant argent (Wastneys), the second Holme, and the third Holme within a bordure engrailed gules; below these 3 coats of arms are faint sketches of the same arms, perhaps as instructions to the illuminator; the arms themselves appear to be later additions over larger, blank shields, now erased. On f. 173, in the upper corner, the arms of England and France quarterly, impaling the arms attributed to Edward the Confessor (azure, a cross flory between 5 martlets or); in the outer margin, within a bordure or, quarterly, 1 and 4 argent 3 chaplets gules (Lascelles? Hilton?), 2 and 3 argent 2 bars azure (unidentified); across the lower margin, the first coat of arms, Holme impaling Wastneys, the second Holme, the third argent a lion rampant sable (also for Wastneys?); the 3 coats of arms in the lower margin appear to be later additions over larger, blank shields, now erased. On f. 227, in the upper corner, the arms of England and France; in the outer margin, azure 3 chevronels interlaced and a chief or (Fitzhugh); across the lower margin, the first coat of arms, Holme impaling Wastneys, the second Holme, the third Holme within a bordure engrailed gules. The arms may be those of John Holme (d. 1438; Foster, Yorkshire Pedigrees, 1874, ii), of Paull-Holme, who married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of Sir Adam Wastneys; his son, also named John Holme, married Joan, daughter of John Ellerker of Riseby, serjeant at law ca. 1441; the younger John Holme was probably Baron of the Exchequer, 1446-49 (Foss, Judges of England, iv, p. 331). On f. v verso, twice, the signature of Sir Thomas Bourchier (1442-1512), nephew to the Cardinal Archbishop of Canterbury of the same name (see J. C. Wedgwood and A. D. Holt, History of Parliament, London 1936, 1:95-96); the same inscription occurs in Princeton University, Garrett 150, a Brut, and in Oxford, Bod. Lib., Ashmole 39, a copy of Lydgate's Life of our Lady. Also on f. v verso, s. XVI, “Constat Roberto plummer.” The book belonged to “H.N.” who had it rebound with his initials on the covers and who may have written the notes on tinctures on f. iv recto and verso. On f. iii, s. XVII, “Roger Allestry his book 1291 [sic].” Armorial bookplate, s. XIX, of Thomas William Evans, in which the first quarter (gironny of 8 argent and vert, a lion rampant gardant or) and the crest (in a charger a boar's head erased argent) correspond to those of W. Evans of Allestree Hall, Derbyshire. Sold by J. and J. Leighton to C. W. Dyson Perrins (1864-1958) in 1905.

A geographical and historical compilation from various sources: Augustine, Bede, the 1399-1437 version of the Latin Brut, Gildas, the Chester chronicler (Higden), Geoffrey of Monmouth, William of Malmesbury (often named or quoted by chapter), a 50-line metrical life of William of Wykeham (on ff. 150-151v; see G. H. Moberly, Life of William of Wykeham, sometime Bishop of Winchester and Lord High Chancellor of England, Winchester and London 1887, pp. 293-308; only 5 lines correspond), a list of the heresies of Wyclif. About half of the text pertains to material before 1066; material is fuller for the fourteenth century, and extends to 1437. Its authorship is attributed by a fifteenth century owner of the manuscript (see below) to John Tiptoft; the attribution is accepted with some confusion by R. J. Mitchell, John Tiptoft 1427-1470 (London 1938) as referring to his father, Sir John Tiptoft (ca. 1375-1443) on pp. 9-10, although she lists it both among John Tiptoft's supposed works on p. 242, and as in his library on p. 243. The attribution to John or to Sir John Tiptoft is rejected, and the manuscript's contents are briefly analyzed by Roberto Weiss, Humanism in England during the Fifteenth Century 2nd. ed. (Oxford 1957) 118. See also A. Gransden, Historical Writing in England (London 1982) 2:480.

Written in England in the middle of the fifteenth century.

On f. iiii, a note in a fifteenth century hand reads: “Cronice Regum Anglie de diversis historiografis per dominum Iohannem Wigornensem Comitem sparsim collecte. Sheldwych. De orbis indagatione, divisione et descriptione per Iulium Cesarem in provincias et regiones factus; inter quas his liber maxime de Regno Anglorum et Regibus eiusdem similiter A Bruto usque in Annum decimum sextum henrici sexti que magna famosa et rara sunt declarat.” On f. iiii verso, “Sheldwych” signs a chronology list: “Anno ante christum Mo Co venit Brutus in Angliam... Henricus VIus etatis XVIII eodem incepit regnare que nunquam vidit patrem suum nec pater suus eum. Sheldwych”; on f. 1, a note in another hand refers to Plutarch; an erased note on f. 179v, barely legible under ultra-violet light, ends with the name “Iohannes.” Said to have belonged to the Scottish antiquary and historian, George Chalmers (1742-1825), whose books passed to his nephew and upon the latter's death were sold at auction by Evans, 27 September 1841, and 7 March and 10 November 1842; this manuscript not identified in these sales. Owned by the antiquary John Sidney Hawkins (1758-1842) and sold by Fletcher, 8 May 1843 (manuscripts are lots 2616-2649; this catalogue not available to us); the sale and a description of the book's contents are mentioned in The Chronicles of the White Rose of York (London 1843) 192-93.

Five miniatures by Maître Honore, approximately 65 × 60 mm. in blue and maroon frames, edged in gold, with gold oak leaves along the outer sides, and with half or ¾ border extensions of colored trilobe leaves. See G. Warner in the Dyson Perrins catalogue (see below), quoting Sir Sydney Cockerell, and Eric G. Millar, An Illuminated Manuscript of La Somme le Roy attributed to the Parisian Miniaturist Honore (Roxburghe Club 1953) 12; also mentioned by C. Nordenfalk, “Maître Honore and Maître Pucelle,” Apollo 79 (1964) 357. Other law books associated with this atelier are a Justinian, formerly Chester Beatty MS 67 and later in the Major J. R. Abbey collection (sold, Sotheby's, 4 June 1974, lot 2917) as well as copies of the Decretum of Gratian in Tours, Bibliothèque Municipale, MS 558, one formerly Yates Thompson MS 88, one in Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Thott 160.2 and another of which only 2 leaves survive, formerly in the collection of Sir Sydney Cockerell. The miniatures are: f. 1, Gregory IX receiving a book from one of a group of ecclesiastics; f. 64, a judge, seated, between a man and a woman, each with an advocate; f. 122, a priest celebrating mass, while a layman is ejected from that part of the church reserved for clerics; f. 173v, a bishop performing a marriage; f. 191, a seated pope listening to a monk kneeling before him, as others stand behind. On f. 121v, a miniature, 113 × 78 mm., added during the first half of the fourteenth century by an English artist, showing the Virgin and Child under a gothic arch, and to their left, under another arch, Agnes standing, holding book and sword, with her lamb at her feet; below the miniature (instructions to the artist?), “Sanctissima Agnes virgo et martir gloriosa ad cuius dextrum stat [“a dextris” cancelled] agnus nive candidior.”

On f. 1r-v, 3 historiated initials, 7- to 4-line, of a seated doctor instructing students, of a seated king, and of the Trinity, with Father and Son side by side as the Dove descends between them.

Other books of the Decretals begin with 6- or 5-line initials, in white-patterned pink on blue grounds, or vice versa, infilled with colored trilobe leaves; 3-line initials in similar style, some with partial borders, often ending in drolleries or infilled with busts of many kinds: men clean-shaven or bearded, women with or without elaborate headdresses, kings, queens, a figure with a wing-like cap, rabbits, dogs; 4-line initials, placed outside the written space, in blue with red flourishing; 2-line initials in the same colors; 1-line initials within the text in red or washed in yellow; red paragraph marks; running headlines across the opening in red and blue numbering the books of the Decretals only. “Corr. in textu” in the lower margin of the last leaf verso of each quire.

Considerable marginalia in contemporary French hands, and in contemporary and later English hands (on f. 92v, a note dated 1470); running headlines giving the subject in the upper right corner of each leaf recto in an English hand.

Modern fore edge tabs. First leaf defective along the inner margin, with some loss of text; now hinged.

Bound in 1903 by Douglas Cockerell, in wooden boards with red morocco spine decorated in gilt and blind with the initials of Michael Tomkinson (see below), 2 3-part braided straps to catches on the front cover. Rust marks from chain hasps on top and bottom center of f. iii, once the pastedown.

Written during the last years of the thirteenth century possibly in Avignon or Montpellier, or by a southern scribe working in Paris, and painted in Paris by Maître Honore. Concerning a similar group of legal manuscripts, see the review by C. Nordenfalk in Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte 43 (1980) 318-37, especially pp. 336-37, of A. Melnikas, The Corpus of the Miniatures in the Manuscripts of the Decretum Gratiani (Rome 1975); another manuscript written by a southern scribe and illuminated by Maître Honore is Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University, Houghton Library, fMS Typ 228, Augustine, De civitate dei. A terminus post quem for the copying of HM 19999 is the date of composition of art. 5, 1282, as noticed in the explicit on f. 262.

Contemporary notes of an early owner in a French hand, but soon acquired by an Englishman, as shown by the numerous notes in early fourteenth century anglicana, and by the miniature added by an English artist on f. 121v. In the spandrels of the arches in this miniature are what may represent coats of arms: gules, a fess or (in the 2 outer spandrels); azure, a cross saltire or (in the center); this last may be intended for the arms of St. Albans abbey, although a St. Albans provenance seems doubtful and the volume was not listed by Ker, MLGB; the choice of Agnes in the miniature suggests particular devotion on the part of an individual or institutional owner. Owned before 1436 by William Meelys, rector of Tarporley, Cheshire: on f. iv verso, “Decretales apparate F. de dono Magistri Willelmi Meelys, rectoris de Tarpurley pro anima sua ex procuracione <?> David Bromfelde anno domini Mo cccc xxxvi”; on the contemporary back flyleaf, “Constat Willelmo Meeles [cancelled: “1450”?].” A draft of a letter on f. iv recto includes a mention of Chester and the date 1470. In a fifteenth century hand on the back flyleaf, “Percy [?] de Burscho [?] desiderat emere istum librum cum bello troianorum et libro de passione christi,” and, in the upper margin of f. 274, in possibly the same hand, “frater p., precio 1 x 1i.” Belonged to Richard Bulkeley, archdeacon of Merioneth (1483-ca. 1500) and Anglesey (1504 until his death in 1524); see J. Le Neve, Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1300-1541, pt. XI, The Welsh Dioceses, comp. by B. Jones (University of London 1965) 10-11, and Emden, BRUO, p. 303: on f. 274v, over an erasure (?), “Constat ricardo bulkeley archidiacono Meryoneth”; on f. iv recto, “Precario conceditur domino Iohanni Gwyn ad tempus per Ricardum bulkeley archidiaconum Anglesey,” and “Constat fratri Ricardo Bulkeley Teste reddatur ad Signum ea quod servi.” Belonged to John Ruskin (1819-1900) by 1857, when he discussed its decoration in his Elements of Drawing (London 1857) 301-02; Ruskin's bookplate on the inside front cover. His estate inherited by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Severn, who sold this manuscript ca. 1903 to Michael Tomkinson (1841-1922?), of Franche Hall, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, for whom the book was rebound; sold by Tomkinson in 1911 to C. W. Dyson Perrins (1864-1958).

Historiated initials, 8- and 7-line, in the style of the Dutch Master of the Carmelite Missal (and related to the historiated initials in the Great Cowchers), containing portraits of Henry III (f. 1), Richard II (f. 173) and Henry IV (f. 227); the leaf beginning the statutes of Edward III has been excised, but the offset of a full border remains on f. 98v. The initials are in white-highlighted blue or pink on gold grounds, with full bar borders decorated with leaves in gold, pink, blue and orange and with coats of arms (see below) possibly added on ff. 1 and 173, but integral on f. 227; the initial on f. 227, more delicately shaded than the previous 2, and with border of a slightly later style, including thimble leaves, kite leaves and green touching on the ink sprays.

Written in England in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, but after 1407, the date of the last statute (art. 177); the table on f. 92v with dates from 1413 to 1500 may constitute a later addition. Possibly intended for owners in York, given the presence of Yorkshire saints in the calendar and the text of art. 94. The somewhat finer border on f. 227, incorporating (rather than adding) the coats of arms, suggests that the eventual owner may have decided to purchase the book rather late in its production.

>

The coats of arms on f. 1 are: in the upper corner, the arms of England; in the outer margin, barry of 6 or and azure, on a canton argent a chaplet gules (Holme, of Yorkshire or of Lancashire); across the lower margin, the first coat of arms, Holme impaling sable a lion rampant argent (Wastneys), the second Holme, and the third Holme within a bordure engrailed gules; below these 3 coats of arms are faint sketches of the same arms, perhaps as instructions to the illuminator; the arms themselves appear to be later additions over larger, blank shields, now erased. On f. 173, in the upper corner, the arms of England and France quarterly, impaling the arms attributed to Edward the Confessor (azure, a cross flory between 5 martlets or); in the outer margin, within a bordure or, quarterly, 1 and 4 argent 3 chaplets gules (Lascelles? Hilton?), 2 and 3 argent 2 bars azure (unidentified); across the lower margin, the first coat of arms, Holme impaling Wastneys, the second Holme, the third argent a lion rampant sable (also for Wastneys?); the 3 coats of arms in the lower margin appear to be later additions over larger, blank shields, now erased. On f. 227, in the upper corner, the arms of England and France; in the outer margin, azure 3 chevronels interlaced and a chief or (Fitzhugh); across the lower margin, the first coat of arms, Holme impaling Wastneys, the second Holme, the third Holme within a bordure engrailed gules. The arms may be those of John Holme (d. 1438; Foster, Yorkshire Pedigrees, 1874, ii), of Paull-Holme, who married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of Sir Adam Wastneys; his son, also named John Holme, married Joan, daughter of John Ellerker of Riseby, serjeant at law ca. 1441; the younger John Holme was probably Baron of the Exchequer, 1446-49 (Foss, Judges of England, iv, p. 331). On f. v verso, twice, the signature of Sir Thomas Bourchier (1442-1512), nephew to the Cardinal Archbishop of Canterbury of the same name (see J. C. Wedgwood and A. D. Holt, History of Parliament, London 1936, 1:95-96); the same inscription occurs in Princeton University, Garrett 150, a Brut, and in > Oxford, > Bod. Lib., > Ashmole 39 > , a copy of Lydgate's Life of our Lady. Also on f. v verso, s. XVI, ?Constat Roberto plummer.? The book belonged to ?H.N.? who had it rebound with his initials on the covers and who may have written the notes on tinctures on f. iv recto and verso. On f. iii, s. XVII, ?Roger Allestry his book 1291 [sic].? Armorial bookplate, s. XIX, of Thomas William Evans, in which the first quarter (gironny of 8 argent and vert, a lion rampant gardant or) and the crest (in a charger a boar's head erased argent) correspond to those of W. Evans of Allestree Hall, Derbyshire. Sold by J. and J. Leighton to C. W. Dyson Perrins (1864-1958) in 1905.

A geographical and historical compilation from various sources: Augustine, Bede, the 1399-1437 version of the Latin Brut, Gildas, the Chester chronicler (Higden), Geoffrey of Monmouth, William of Malmesbury (often named or quoted by chapter), a 50-line metrical life of William of Wykeham (on ff. 150-151v; see G. H. Moberly, Life of William of Wykeham, sometime Bishop of Winchester and Lord High Chancellor of England, Winchester and London 1887, pp. 293-308; only 5 lines correspond), a list of the heresies of Wyclif. About half of the text pertains to material before 1066; material is fuller for the fourteenth century, and extends to 1437. Its authorship is attributed by a fifteenth century owner of the manuscript (see below) to John Tiptoft; the attribution is accepted with some confusion by R. J. Mitchell, John Tiptoft 1427-1470 (London 1938) as referring to his father, Sir John Tiptoft (ca. 1375-1443) on pp. 9-10, although she lists it both among John Tiptoft's supposed works on p. 242, and as in his library on p. 243. The attribution to John or to Sir John Tiptoft is rejected, and the manuscript's contents are briefly analyzed by Roberto Weiss, Humanism in England during the Fifteenth Century 2nd. ed. (Oxford 1957) 118. See also A. Gransden, Historical Writing in England (London 1982) 2:480.

Five miniatures by Maître Honore, approximately 65 × 60 mm. in blue and maroon frames, edged in gold, with gold oak leaves along the outer sides, and with half or ¾ border extensions of colored trilobe leaves. See G. Warner in the Dyson Perrins catalogue (see below), quoting Sir Sydney Cockerell, and Eric G. Millar, An Illuminated Manuscript of La Somme le Roy attributed to the Parisian Miniaturist Honore (Roxburghe Club 1953) 12; also mentioned by C. Nordenfalk, ?Maître Honore and Maître Pucelle,? Apollo 79 (1964) 357. Other law books associated with this atelier are a Justinian, formerly Chester Beatty MS 67 and later in the Major J. R. Abbey collection (sold, Sotheby's, 4 June 1974, lot 2917) as well as copies of the Decretum of Gratian in Tours, Bibliothèque Municipale, MS 558, one formerly Yates Thompson MS 88, one in Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Thott 160.2 and another of which only 2 leaves survive, formerly in the collection of Sir Sydney Cockerell. The miniatures are: f. 1, Gregory IX receiving a book from one of a group of ecclesiastics; f. 64, a judge, seated, between a man and a woman, each with an advocate; f. 122, a priest celebrating mass, while a layman is ejected from that part of the church reserved for clerics; f. 173v, a bishop performing a marriage; f. 191, a seated pope listening to a monk kneeling before him, as others stand behind. On f. 121v, a miniature, 113 × 78 mm., added during the first half of the fourteenth century by an English artist, showing the Virgin and Child under a gothic arch, and to their left, under another arch, Agnes standing, holding book and sword, with her lamb at her feet; below the miniature (instructions to the artist?), ?Sanctissima Agnes virgo et martir gloriosa ad cuius dextrum stat [?a dextris? cancelled] agnus nive candidior.?

>

On f. 1r-v, 3 historiated initials, 7- to 4-line, of a seated doctor instructing students, of a seated king, and of the Trinity, with Father and Son side by side as the Dove descends between them.

>

Other books of the Decretals begin with 6- or 5-line initials, in white-patterned pink on blue grounds, or vice versa, infilled with colored trilobe leaves; 3-line initials in similar style, some with partial borders, often ending in drolleries or infilled with busts of many kinds: men clean-shaven or bearded, women with or without elaborate headdresses, kings, queens, a figure with a wing-like cap, rabbits, dogs; 4-line initials, placed outside the written space, in blue with red flourishing; 2-line initials in the same colors; 1-line initials within the text in red or washed in yellow; red paragraph marks; running headlines across the opening in red and blue numbering the books of the Decretals only. ?Corr. in textu? in the lower margin of the last leaf verso of each quire.

>

Considerable marginalia in contemporary French hands, and in contemporary and later English hands (on f. 92v, a note dated 1470); running headlines giving the subject in the upper right corner of each leaf recto in an English hand.

>

Modern fore edge tabs. First leaf defective along the inner margin, with some loss of text; now hinged.

>

Bound in 1903 by Douglas Cockerell, in wooden boards with red morocco spine decorated in gilt and blind with the initials of Michael Tomkinson (see below), 2 3-part braided straps to catches on the front cover. Rust marks from chain hasps on top and bottom center of f. iii, once the pastedown.

Written during the last years of the thirteenth century possibly in Avignon or Montpellier, or by a southern scribe working in Paris, and painted in Paris by Maître Honore. Concerning a similar group of legal manuscripts, see the review by C. Nordenfalk in Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte 43 (1980) 318-37, especially pp. 336-37, of A. Melnikas, The Corpus of the Miniatures in the Manuscripts of the Decretum Gratiani (Rome 1975); another manuscript written by a southern scribe and illuminated by Maître Honore is > Cambridge, Mass., > Harvard University, > Houghton Library, > fMS Typ 228 > , Augustine, De civitate dei. A terminus post quem for the copying of HM 19999 is the date of composition of art. 5, 1282, as noticed in the explicit on f. 262.

>

Contemporary notes of an early owner in a French hand, but soon acquired by an Englishman, as shown by the numerous notes in early fourteenth century anglicana, and by the miniature added by an English artist on f. 121v. In the spandrels of the arches in this miniature are what may represent coats of arms: gules, a fess or (in the 2 outer spandrels); azure, a cross saltire or (in the center); this last may be intended for the arms of St. Albans abbey, although a St. Albans provenance seems doubtful and the volume was not listed by Ker, MLGB > ; the choice of Agnes in the miniature suggests particular devotion on the part of an individual or institutional owner. Owned before 1436 by William Meelys, rector of Tarporley, Cheshire: on f. iv verso, ?Decretales apparate F. de dono Magistri Willelmi Meelys, rectoris de Tarpurley pro anima sua ex procuracione <?> David Bromfelde anno domini Mo cccc xxxvi?; on the contemporary back flyleaf, ?Constat Willelmo Meeles [cancelled: ?1450??].? A draft of a letter on f. iv recto includes a mention of Chester and the date 1470. In a fifteenth century hand on the back flyleaf, ?Percy [?] de Burscho [?] desiderat emere istum librum cum bello troianorum et libro de passione christi,? and, in the upper margin of f. 274, in possibly the same hand, ?frater p., precio 1 x 1i.? Belonged to Richard Bulkeley, archdeacon of Merioneth (1483-ca. 1500) and Anglesey (1504 until his death in 1524); see J. Le Neve, Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1300-1541, pt. XI, The Welsh Dioceses, comp. by B. Jones (University of London 1965) 10-11, and Emden, BRUO > , p. 303: on f. 274v, over an erasure (?), ?Constat ricardo bulkeley archidiacono Meryoneth?; on f. iv recto, ?Precario conceditur domino Iohanni Gwyn ad tempus per Ricardum bulkeley archidiaconum Anglesey,? and ?Constat fratri Ricardo Bulkeley Teste reddatur ad Signum ea quod servi.? Belonged to John Ruskin (1819-1900) by 1857, when he discussed its decoration in his Elements of Drawing (London 1857) 301-02; Ruskin's bookplate on the inside front cover. His estate inherited by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Severn, who sold this manuscript ca. 1903 to Michael Tomkinson (1841-1922?), of Franche Hall, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, for whom the book was rebound; sold by Tomkinson in 1911 to C. W. Dyson Perrins (1864-1958).

Written in Italy in the middle of the fifteenth century, possibly in the Veneto given the Veronese watermarks and the ownership note on f. 128v, which at one time was concealed by a new section of paper glued over the bottom of the page, but was uncovered by N. C. Starr (see below): “Iste liber est congregationis Sancte Iustine deputatus monachis habitantibus verone 53 [this number cancelled; added in a different hand:] signatusque in inventario numero 4 ex littera E.”

What was possibly another possession note has been cut away from the lower margin of f. 1, as the top of a letter still shows above the new paper now forming the margin. Notes by several owners or readers, s. XVI, also on f. 128v: “franciscus bodius” (?, cropped), “<cropped> expliciunt xii maii 1539,” “Amor dei et amor proximi,” “Alma redemptoris voluisti templum fieri immaculatum,” “Guta cavat lapidem non bis [sic] sepe cadendo” [Walther, Proverbia 10508], “O quam sunt utilliores quam laudaciores isti sermones in hoc libello,” “O quam sermones isti in hoc libello sunt utiliores et laudaciores a quibus sepe legentur legerentur.” Belonged to the Rev. Henry J. Drury (1778-1841) who wrote the table of contents on f. ii and signed his name; his sale, Evans, 19 February 1827, n. 4220 to F. North (not ascertained if Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guilford, 1766-14 October 1827; his sale catalogues not available to us).

<

Full page Crucifixion miniature with Mary and John, f. 178v, facing the Canon of the Mass, with Jesus's face rubbed, in good style, of the type found in the so-called Robert of Lindesey group and similar to the Crucifixion in the Peterborough psalter (Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum, MS. 12).1

Seven historiated initials, 13- to 9-line: f. 22 (prologue), Jerome writing, against a gold background; f. 24 (Gen.), the length of the text, the Creation in 6 polylobe medallions and, at the bottom, a larger compartment with the Crucifixion with Mary and John, against gold background; f. 166 (Psalms), David playing his harp; f. 284 (Mt.), the Evangelist, as a young man, checking the point of his quill; f. 292 (Mk.), Mark writing, as his lion (without wings or mane) turns to look at him; f. 297 (Lk.), Luke sharpening his quill, as his ox (blue, without wings) looks on; f. 306 (John), the initial I in colored segments the length of the text, surmounted and bitten by John's eagle, which clutches in its claws a bearded head (John the Baptist?).

Painted initials begin books of the Bible, 12- to 7-line, in white-patterned blue or maroon, enclosing stylized vegetation or animal forms in blue, maroon, beige, green and orange. Initials for prologues, 10- to 4-line, in parted red and blue with flourishing in both colors; 2-line initials alternating red with blue flourishing and blue with red; unornamented 1-line initials alternating red and blue within the text, in the Psalms and in the Interpretationes. Running headlines and chapter numbers, placed in the margins, alternating red and blue letters.

Considerable contemporary and later marginalia for liturgical and study purposes, including: on f. 159, upper margin, “Rubee figure distingunt libros moralium” referring to arabic numerals in red ink, 1-35, added in the margins of Job, ff. 159-165v, to tie to the books in the Moralia of Gregory the Great; in Proverbs, ff. 192-197, Grosseteste indexing symbols in brown ink in the margins, somewhat cropped; see R. W. Hunt, “Manuscripts containing the Indexing Symbols of Robert Grosseteste,” Bodleian Library Record 4 (1952-53) 241-54 and R. H. Rouse, “New Light on the Circulation of the A-Text of Seneca's Tragedies,” JWCI 40 (1977) p. 285 n. 12 citing this manuscript; in the Gospels, concordance notes (?) in red ink; in the Gospels, Acts and Epistles, notes in brown ink on readings for the Mass throughout the year. Later medieval foliation, s. XIV or XV, in lead in arabic numerals, on ff. 22-176 as [1]-155 and on ff. 192-314, thus excluding the added material (arts. 1, 2) and the missal.

Some leaves with contemporary repairs in the outer and lower margins.

<

Bound in beige calf, November 1968; front cover of medieval binding, whittawed skin over wooden boards, sewn on 4 bands, with evidence of 2 fore edge clasps; shelved separately.

 <

Written in England in the middle of the thirteenth century, with the missal as an integral part of its original structure, as in Boston, Public Library, MS 202 and Paris, B.N. lat. 10431. The votive mass on f. 182v, “pro fratribus congregationis,” with its invocation of the Virgin and Michael Archangel, may point to an origin in a house of canons regular dedicated to them.

The presence of the indexing symbols suggests that the bible belonged at an early date to a Franciscan or to a cleric who had been to Oxford, since these symbols were employed primarily at Grey Friars, Oxford. The heading for the added fifteenth century Epistle and Gospel readings identifies that portion as Sarum use; readings for the feast of the relics of Salisbury cathedral are given on f. 17v.

Discours de la Foy in 40 6-line stanzas, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth; possibly not complete as the advertissement (f. 50v) mentions “certain nombre de vers, les uns en Anglois, les autres en francois,” and there are now none in English. Copied (but possibly not written?) by the calligrapher Esther Inglis in Edinburgh, 1591. See D.

Parchment,

ff. iii (modern paper) + i (contemporary parchment) + 253 + ii (modern paper);

315 × 215 mm.

Art. 1, the quire containing the index on ff. 1-8, was added in England, s. XV1:

written space, 235 × 145 mm.,

2 columns of 46 lines,

English book hand,

2-line blue initials with red penwork.

Art. 2, the main text: written space, 235 × 137 mm.

2 columns of 50 lines, ruled in lead with a narrow space allotted in the inner and outer margin for notes; pricking visible in upper and lower margin.

Collation beginning with the index: 1-308 3112 + one leaf added at the end.

Catchwords in unadorned frames in lower right corner.

Signatures occasionally present as letters and roman numerals (on the index), or as a series of slashes, or as both progressive letters and roman numerals (ai, bii, ciii, diiii on ff. 217-220).

Main text written in a gothic book hand with southern features, using olive-brown ink.

On ff. 127v and 168, lightly written pecia marks to the left of the text in ink frames, as follows: f. 127v, “Finis xxx pet.” on Book 5, treatise 4, across from the section of text reading: “... ita exultant hodie christiani deiectis perversis imperatoribus qui ecclesiam persequebantur in odium nominis christiani. In VI feria fit commemoratio passionis domini...”; on f. 168, “Finis xl pet.” on Book 6, treatise 29, across from the section of text reading: “... nisi forte mortis periculo iminente, omnis igitur ecclesie protes quoniam per anni circulum...”

<

Historiated initial, f. 9, 10-line, grey on blue ground with author in bishop's dress holding his book; dusky pink background patterned in white; stylized acanthus leaf and ball extensions along the length of the text, with some touches of burnished gold.

The 8 nonhistoriated initials beginning each book are similar in style (ff. 10, 29v, 38v, 50v, 113, 134v, 223, 245). Secondary initials, 3-line, alternate red and blue with swirled flourishing of the opposite color, and occasionally with both colors in the flourishes. The 2 colors alternate in the paragraph marks and running headlines across the opening. Rubrics in red throughout.

A careful round gothic hand has corrected the text and has filled in the marginal notes in the allotted space. An English cursive hand, s. XV, has added some marginal notes, has extended the running headlines to include the treatise number and subject, and has divided the text of each treatise into the lettered sections which are used in the index. The letters progress according to the length of each treatise, e.g. Book 3, treatise 31 covers a-z, aa-zz, aaa-ddd. On f. iii verso, an English hand, s. XV, has noted: “Wilelmus Durhant [corrected to “Durandus” by a seventeenth century hand] erat nomen compilatoris huius libri ut dictum est.”

<

Bound, s. XIX, in English black morocco over bevelled wooden boards; large brass fore edge clasp closing to the top; gilt edges; marbled endpapers.

 <

The pecia marks and the initials would suggest this manuscript was written in Bologna; the script, however, is not Bolognese letter and resembles more that of southern France, s. XIVin.

By the beginning of the fifteenth century, the manuscript was in England, as shown by the index on ff. 1-8, the marginalia and 2 erased possession marks on f. iv recto (3 or 4 lines) and verso (1 line), both in an English hand; f. iv as read with the use of a reagent by H. C. Schulz and J. F. Preston in 1962: “Iste liber <?> xi pat' 'pno/dno Thome [inserted] Arch<?> quinque libri pr<?>/ trad pry <?> forth anno <?> xci”; f. iv verso: “Iste liber [erased].” Belonged to Charles John Wilson, 3rd Baron Nunburnholme (1904-74); his sale, Sotheby's, 11 December 1961, lot 161.

Mnemonic verses, beginning defectively, on the contents of the chapters of the books of the Bible, each chapter represented by a numbered word or words, further explained by suprascript words (here in parentheses) that do not fit the meter; for example, in Numbers there are 36 chapters, thus 36 words or phrases, given in 6 verses; the first verse, representing the first 5 chapters of Numbers, is ?Diminuat figunt levi portant aqua zeli.?

Written in England in the middle of the thirteenth century, with the missal as an integral part of its original structure, as in Boston, Public Library, MS 202 and > Paris, > B.N. > lat. 10431 > . The votive mass on f. 182v, ?pro fratribus congregationis,? with its invocation of the Virgin and Michael Archangel, may point to an origin in a house of canons regular dedicated to them.

>

The presence of the indexing symbols suggests that the bible belonged at an early date to a Franciscan or to a cleric who had been to Oxford, since these symbols were employed primarily at Grey Friars, Oxford. The heading for the added fifteenth century Epistle and Gospel readings identifies that portion as Sarum use; readings for the feast of the relics of Salisbury cathedral are given on f. 17v.

On ff. 127v and 168, lightly written pecia marks to the left of the text in ink frames, as follows: f. 127v, ?Finis xxx pet.? on Book 5, treatise 4, across from the section of text reading: ?... ita exultant hodie christiani deiectis perversis imperatoribus qui ecclesiam persequebantur in odium nominis christiani. In VI feria fit commemoratio passionis domini...?; on f. 168, ?Finis xl pet.? on Book 6, treatise 29, across from the section of text reading: ?... nisi forte mortis periculo iminente, omnis igitur ecclesie protes quoniam per anni circulum...?

>

Historiated initial, f. 9, 10-line, grey on blue ground with author in bishop's dress holding his book; dusky pink background patterned in white; stylized acanthus leaf and ball extensions along the length of the text, with some touches of burnished gold.

>

The 8 nonhistoriated initials beginning each book are similar in style (ff. 10, 29v, 38v, 50v, 113, 134v, 223, 245). Secondary initials, 3-line, alternate red and blue with swirled flourishing of the opposite color, and occasionally with both colors in the flourishes. The 2 colors alternate in the paragraph marks and running headlines across the opening. Rubrics in red throughout.

>

A careful round gothic hand has corrected the text and has filled in the marginal notes in the allotted space. An English cursive hand, s. XV, has added some marginal notes, has extended the running headlines to include the treatise number and subject, and has divided the text of each treatise into the lettered sections which are used in the index. The letters progress according to the length of each treatise, e.g. Book 3, treatise 31 covers a-z, aa-zz, aaa-ddd. On f. iii verso, an English hand, s. XV, has noted: ?Wilelmus Durhant [corrected to ?Durandus? by a seventeenth century hand] erat nomen compilatoris huius libri ut dictum est.?

>

Bound, s. XIX, in English black morocco over bevelled wooden boards; large brass fore edge clasp closing to the top; gilt edges; marbled endpapers.

The pecia marks and the initials would suggest this manuscript was written in Bologna; the script, however, is not Bolognese letter and resembles more that of southern France, s. XIVin.

>

By the beginning of the fifteenth century, the manuscript was in England, as shown by the index on ff. 1-8, the marginalia and 2 erased possession marks on f. iv recto (3 or 4 lines) and verso (1 line), both in an English hand; f. iv as read with the use of a reagent by H. C. Schulz and J. F. Preston in 1962: ?Iste liber <?> xi pat' 'pno/dno Thome [inserted] Arch<?> quinque libri pr<?>/ trad pry <?> forth anno <?> xci?; f. iv verso: ?Iste liber [erased].?

 < Bibliography:Chronica, 5. < < < HM 26960 < FLORILEGIUM < England, s. XIIIin < <

ff. 1-147: An owner-produced collection of theological materials, mainly in prose in the form of full sermons, which are sometimes reduced to sententiae; the preaching material towards the end is arranged schematically into distinctions. Among the authors cited are Stephen Langton as archbishop (e.g. f. 57), John of Cornwall (e.g. f. 23v) and Bernard (e.g. f. 92). There are a few sections in verse, and considerable later marginalia with didactic verses or proverbs, the majority of which are unattributed, although some are ascribed to Bernard or to the Church Fathers. The collection, made up of numerous parts, was apparently put together over a period of time by one or more writers; the divisions between the texts are not always clearly distinguishable. The texts have contemporary cross-referencing, consisting of quire numbers, leaves within the quire, sometimes the page, the position on the page, a mention of the rubric and a tie mark, for example: f. 91v, “Ad idem in anteriori parte ultimi folii iiiiti quaterni versus finem. Et in anteriori parte secundi folii v quaterni circa medium de herbis” (with no corresponding marks on ff. 24, 26 to which this note refers); f. 104, “Ad idem in dextera parte penultimo folio xvi quaterni” (with a tie mark) and its reverse reference on f. 131v, “Ad idem in sinistra parte vii [sic] folio xiiii quaterni” (with the matching tie mark). Other marginalia consist of finding notes, often touched with color, and nota marks; running headlines have been added on ff. 110-123.

 < 1. ff. 1-2v: [Begins incomplete, quire 1 lacking; verses:]// Triplex stulticie genus est qua probra paravitur/ Si nimias geris ore minas de nemo timebit...

ff. 1-147: An owner-produced collection of theological materials, mainly in prose in the form of full sermons, which are sometimes reduced to sententiae; the preaching material towards the end is arranged schematically into distinctions. Among the authors cited are Stephen Langton as archbishop (e.g. f. 57), John of Cornwall (e.g. f. 23v) and Bernard (e.g. f. 92). There are a few sections in verse, and considerable later marginalia with didactic verses or proverbs, the majority of which are unattributed, although some are ascribed to Bernard or to the Church Fathers. The collection, made up of numerous parts, was apparently put together over a period of time by one or more writers; the divisions between the texts are not always clearly distinguishable. The texts have contemporary cross-referencing, consisting of quire numbers, leaves within the quire, sometimes the page, the position on the page, a mention of the rubric and a tie mark, for example: f. 91v, ?Ad idem in anteriori parte ultimi folii iiiiti quaterni versus finem. Et in anteriori parte secundi folii v quaterni circa medium de herbis? (with no corresponding marks on ff. 24, 26 to which this note refers); f. 104, ?Ad idem in dextera parte penultimo folio xvi quaterni? (with a tie mark) and its reverse reference on f. 131v, ?Ad idem in sinistra parte vii [sic] folio xiiii quaterni? (with the matching tie mark). Other marginalia consist of finding notes, often touched with color, and nota marks; running headlines have been added on ff. 110-123.

> > 1. ff. 1-2v: [Begins incomplete, quire 1 lacking; verses:]// Triplex stulticie genus est qua probra paravitur/ Si nimias geris ore minas de nemo timebit... Recta fides, spes firma, duplex dilectio semper/ Ferveat assiduis precibus iustus tamen ora. > 2. ff. 3-5v: Incipit collectum Sancti ysidori, O Dilecte fili dilige lacrimas noli differre eas. Tantum promtus esto ad lamentare quantum fuisti pronus ad culpam. Qualis tibi fuit ad peccandum intentio... illic remuneratio amittitur. Iustis in celo non in terra mores promittitur.

Written in England, the first part in the fourteenth century, the second at the beginning of the fifteenth.

The 2 parts were together when owned by Robert Rede, O.P., bishop of Chichester (1396-1415): on f. i verso, “Liber magistri Roberti Reede Episcopi Cicestrensis in quo continentur lectura holcote super iiiior libri sententiarum in parte cum tabula eiusdem cum tractatu valde bono magistri W. Whydeford edito contra hereticas opiniones et erroneas positas per magistrum I. Wyclyff.” Rede bequeathed his books to the Dominican convent of Kings Langley in Hertford; see Emden, BRUO, 2209 and Ker, MLGB, 105. At some time in the fifteenth century the manuscript may have passed to St. Albans: “De studio abbatis” appears 5 times on ff. ii and iii verso; 10 other St. Albans books bear this note; see R. W. Hunt, “The Library of the Abbey of St. Albans,” in Medieval Scribes, Manuscripts and Libraries: Essays presented to N. R. Ker, ed. M. B. Parkes and A. G.

Written in England in the middle of the fifteenth century, possibly in Yorkshire. C. Plummer, Venerabilis Baedae Historia Ecclesiastica (Oxford 1896) 2:118 observed of this manuscript that its “scribe probably had local knowledge,” since the name of the village near Catterick where James the Deacon lived, otherwise unnamed, is here specified as “seynt iemestret” (end of Book 2, on f. 14); this detail was also noted by a seventeenth century reader, who has collated the text.

280 × 195 (197 × 120) mm.

1-148 158(+ a half leaf added between 7 and 8, f. 120) 16-228 238(8 was the pastedown).

Catchwords written horizontally across the inner bounding line, often in a red-touched frame;

quire and leaf signatures consist of letters and roman numerals. The first quire, lettered “a,” is missing. Quires 5-8 use a double system, the quire being shown by both a letter and progressive arabic numeral, the leaves by the usual roman numeral (f1 i, f1 ii..., g2..., h3..., i4...).

37 long lines ruled in lead, with the 2 top and bottom horizontal lines extended the width of the bifolium; pricking visible in the 3 outer margins.

Written in an anglicana formata script.

Initials, 2-line in blue with red penwork; alternating red and blue paragraph marks; red used for slashed initials within the text, underlining, and framing marginalia. Descenders of the bottom line usually extended with flourishes. Marginalia, as text-finders, in the hand of the scribe; manicules sometimes decorated in red (e.g. ff. 132v, 138).

Marked “corrected” in the center lower margin, not only quire by quire, but often on successive folios (e.g. 96-100 with quire ending at 96v).

Bound, s. XV, in whittawed leather over bevelled wooden boards, sewn on double bands, which are attached differently to the front and back covers: on the front cover, the 2 top and 2 middle bands brought together and pegged in a single hole per pair, and the 5th band pulled straight; on the back cover, the double bands are separated, pulled away from the book at an angle and pegged into the same hole as the adjacent half-band, forming a continuous zig-zag pattern. Two red leather fore edge straps closing to small brass eyes on the edge of the back cover; part of one strap and one eye survive. Spine crudely strengthened with a piece of brown leather (the same repair on the binding of HM 36337, also a Tollemache book).

 <

Written in England at the end of the fourteenth century; possibly of monastic origin.

On f. 184v, notes in an early sixteenth century hand: “Sciant presentes et futury quod ego Iohannes Wodedale” and “Willelmus Sponar possessor huius libri est. Si quis furetur cito per collum pendetur.” On the back flyleaf: “feria 4ta xii d; feria 5ta vi d; feria sexta xvi d.” A price, s. XVI, “11 8s,” on f. i verso identified in the Sotheby catalogue (see below) as in the same hand as a similar note in lot 1, that book being a collection of sermons from a monastic house in eastern England, s. XIImed. Belonged to the Tollemache family of Helmingham Hall, Suffolk, who began collecting around the turn of the seventeenth century. For a brief history of the Tollemache collection, see Sotheby catalogue, 14 June 1965, iii-viii. N. 56 in the old Helmingham catalogue; small paper label on the inner front cover reads “L.J.III. (corrected to “V”) 2.,” presumably the shelf mark in the Tollemache library.

Decoration was left at varying stages of completion up to f. 138; thereafter it was abandoned entirely (excepting art. 10). Full borders composed of narrow gold and color strips with acanthus leaves and ink sprays ending in green leaves, flowers and gold motifs occur on ff. 1 (art. 1) and 88 (Book 2), with 5- or 4-line particolored pink and green initials, infilled with acanthus leaves and set on cusped gold grounds; both borders with coats of arms (see below). Similar initial on f. 43 (First preface) with a full border of the narrow strips on 2 sides and wide bands on the other 2 sides, composed of regularly twisted pink and blue acanthus leaves; on f. 46 (Text) the same combination of narrow strips and wide bands, but with secondary initials. Full border on f. 21 (art. 3) of the narrow strips alone, with secondary initials. Other borders composed of narrow gold and color strips the length of the text, with acanthus leaves and ink sprays extending into the upper and lower margins occur with major initials (as above): 5-line particolored pink and green (f. 5v, art. 2) or green and orange (f. 24, art. 4) with leaf or flower infilling on cusped gold grounds; these borders also occur with the 2 styles of secondary initials, used more or less alternately: either 4- or 3-line white-highlighted blue or pink on cusped gold grounds (e.g., f. 41, art. 6) or 4- or 3-line gold on white-highlighted particolored pink, blue or orange grounds (e.g., f. 42, art. 7). Other initials, 2-line in gold on white-patterned particolored pink and blue grounds with small ink sprays terminating in green leaves and gold motifs. In red are paragraph marks and underlining of sources cited, headings and chapter numbers. Stages of the unfinished decoration are apparent on ff. 26v, 27v and 28v with the outline of the border decoration and of the initials, to which gesso has been applied; on ff. 25, 26, 27 and 28 the gold has been added; on ff. 83, 85, 87 (for example) the first base of color is present; on ff. 81 and 82 the ink sprays and the outlining of the bar border were completed, but colors still lack final modelling and highlighting. In quires 10 (ff. 73-80), 16 (ff. 121-128) and 18-41 (ff. 137-325) spaces were reserved for the initials indicated by guide letters. On f. 326 (art. 10), plain blue 4- or 3-line initials; the remaining initials in art. 10 by guide letter only; rubrics throughout this section.

Pen trials throughout; on f. i, practice alphabets, s. XVI.

Decoration was left at varying stages of completion up to f. 138; thereafter it was abandoned entirely (excepting art. 10). Full borders composed of narrow gold and color strips with acanthus leaves and ink sprays ending in green leaves, flowers and gold motifs occur on ff. 1 (art. 1) and 88 (Book 2), with 5- or 4-line particolored pink and green initials, infilled with acanthus leaves and set on cusped gold grounds; both borders with coats of arms (see below). Similar initial on f. 43 (First preface) with a full border of the narrow strips on 2 sides and wide bands on the other 2 sides, composed of regularly twisted pink and blue acanthus leaves; on f. 46 (Text) the same combination of narrow strips and wide bands, but with secondary initials. Full border on f. 21 (art. 3) of the narrow strips alone, with secondary initials. Other borders composed of narrow gold and color strips the length of the text, with acanthus leaves and ink sprays extending into the upper and lower margins occur with major initials (as above): 5-line particolored pink and green (f. 5v, art. 2) or green and orange (f. 24, art. 4) with leaf or flower infilling on cusped gold grounds; these borders also occur with the 2 styles of secondary initials, used more or less alternately: either 4- or 3-line white-highlighted blue or pink on cusped gold grounds (e.g., f. 41, art. 6) or 4- or 3-line gold on white-highlighted particolored pink, blue or orange grounds (e.g., f. 42, art. 7). Other initials, 2-line in gold on white-patterned particolored pink and blue grounds with small ink sprays terminating in green leaves and gold motifs. In red are paragraph marks and underlining of sources cited, headings and chapter numbers. Stages of the unfinished decoration are apparent on ff. 26v, 27v and 28v with the outline of the border decoration and of the initials, to which gesso has been applied; on ff. 25, 26, 27 and 28 the gold has been added; on ff. 83, 85, 87 (for example) the first base of color is present; on ff. 81 and 82 the ink sprays and the outlining of the bar border were completed, but colors still lack final modelling and highlighting. In quires 10 (ff. 73-80), 16 (ff. 121-128) and 18-41 (ff. 137-325) spaces were reserved for the initials indicated by guide letters. On f. 326 (art. 10), plain blue 4- or 3-line initials; the remaining initials in art. 10 by guide letter only; rubrics throughout this section.

Written probably about 1600, since Luis de la Cruz is first listed as master of a ship in 1585 and his name last appears in the records of the Archivo de Indias in Seville in a law suit of 1615. Internal evidence shows the volume was written after 1565 since the town of St. Augustine, Florida, founded in that year, is mentioned.

Notes on front cover “SN 118,” and on front pastedown, “$SEE” (?). A letter, dated 22 July 1968, on file in the Huntington Library from Dra. Lourdes Diaz-Trechuelo of the Escuela de Estudios Hispano-Americans de Sevilla suggests that this manuscript may have been in the private library of the Marques de Ayamonte, to whom the book is dedicated. After his death it probably passed into the library of his relative, the Conde-Duque de Olivares, a library consulted by A. Leon Pinelo for his bibliography published in 1629.

Purchased by the Huntington Library from the Spanish bookseller Jose Porrua Turanzas, 24 March 1967.

Parker McLachlan, “The Scriptorium of Bury St. Edmunds in the Third and Fourth Decades of the Twelfth Century: Books in Three Related Hands and Their Decoration,” Mediaeval Studies 40 (1978) 328-48 and plates, esp. p. 334 listing HM 31151 among the manuscripts of Group B, whose scribes share related elements with one of the two distinctive Bury hands.

<

Major initials, 8- to 3-lines, of varying quality, in red, purple, green or blue occasionally with small leafy tendrils in the same color or with touches of another color; those after f. 139, with scribes iii and iv, of finer execution; up to f. 56, 1-line initials within the text in colors; ff. 56-97, 2- and 1-line initials in red only; thereafter in the ink of the text. Ink drawings in the lower margins of ff. 57, 58v (reproduced in the 1968 Sotheby catalogue, see below) and 106v respectively of a lion, a dragon and a pointing hand; smaller sketches or trials in lead on ff. 107v, a shrine, and 108, a dragon and a lion. On ff. 3v-4, effaced drawings of an archer (f. 3v, mainly in lead, the head only in ink) and a king (f. 4, in ink, approx. 16 cm. high), probably a sketch of the martyrdom of St. Edmund, but apparently extraneous to this manuscript; see E. Parker McLachlan, pp. 339 n. 52 and 343-44. Contemporary running headlines; rubrics in red;

corrections over large erased passages, e.g. on ff. 93, 94; nota bene hands e.g. on ff. 22, 61, 78; face brackets on ff. 59, 80v; frequent marginal notes in lead.

Bound, s. XII/XIII, at Bury St. Edmunds in parchment over oak boards, square edges flush with the book block, semi-circular tubs at head and foot of spine. Fore edge clasp on later medieval pink leather strap fastening to pin on center back. Brass chain staple and one iron link at the center lower edge of the front cover. Remains of a whittawed leather chemise under rear pastedown. Plate of the binding in the 1968 Sotheby catalogue (see below). Regarding Bury bindings, see G. Pollard, “The Construction of English Twelfth Century Bindings,” The Library. Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, ser. 5, 17 (1962) 1-22, pls. I-II. In a red box made by J. S. Wilson and Sons, Cambridge.

Written at Bury St. Edmunds in the second quarter of the twelfth century. Regarding the Bury scriptorium, see E. Parker [McLachlan], “The Scriptorium of Bury St. Edmunds in the Twelfth Century,” unpublished Ph.D. dissertation, University of London 1965. Identifiable with no. xlii in the twelfth century catalogue of the abbey, ed. M. R. James, On the Abbey of S. Edmund at Bury. Cambridge Antiquarian Society Octavo Publ. 28 (Cambridge 1895) 23-32. Regarding the library see Ker, MLGB, 16-22 and R. Thomson, “The Library of Bury St. Edmunds in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries,” Speculum 47 (1972) 617-45.

The table of contents on the pastedown, the Bury pressmark “A.10” on the pastedown and on f. 5, and the note on the pastedown “In custodia.s. laugham [?]” are in the hand of the fourteenth century Bury armarius Henry of Kirkestede; see R. H. Rouse, “Bostonus Buriensis and the Author of the Catalogus scriptorum ecclesiae,” Speculum 41 (1966) 471-99. The contents of the manuscript are itemized in the thirteenth century Franciscan Registrum Anglie de libris doctorum et auctorum veterum, and in Kirkestede's “Catalogus scriptorum ecclesiae,” items I.3, 22, 165, 186, 226, 366, 373. Upon the Dissolution the manuscript appears to have been acquired from the Bury library by Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper, who owned lands at Redgrave, Suffolk, that had belonged to the abbey. The property was acquired towards the end of the seventeenth century by Sir John Holt (1642-1709), whose niece married, ca. 1750, Thomas Wilson, ancestor of George Holt Wilson of Redgrave Hall, Suffolk. This manuscript and 2 others from Bury (another volume of Augustine, the companion to HM 31151, now Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University, Houghton Library, Richardson MS 26, and one of Jerome, now London, Brit. Lib., Egerton MS 3776) were in the G. H. Wilson sale, Sotheby's, 21 July 1910, lot 159 (both Augustines) to Quaritch. Quaritch Catalogue 321 (1912) n. 249 (both Augustines) with a plate of the Harvard volume, and Quaritch Catalogue 357 (1920) n. 380 (both Augustines) to A. Chester Beatty (1875-1968). See E. G. Millar, The Library of A. Chester Beatty (Oxford 1927-30) 1:94-95 with plate 73 of Western MS 25 (the Harvard volume) and 1:96-97 with plate 74 of Western MS 26 (HM 31151), f. 139.

<

The 2 Augustines were divided at the Chester Beatty sale, Sotheby's, 7 June 1932, when the volume now at Harvard was sold as lot 6, with a plate; the present Augustine, HM 31151, was acquired by the Huntington Library in the Chester Beatty sale, Sotheby's, 3 December 1968, lot 6 with plates of f. 139, the binding, and the drawing of the dragon on f. 58v.

Written in Italy, probably for use in Asti, to judge from the prominence accorded to St. Secundus and its later history.

The manuscript remained in that area until the nineteenth century, when it belonged to members of the Morando family, who, among much other miscellaneous marginalia, signed on ff. 19v, 42v: “Morando Giovanni Maria, 1850, Nativo di Revigliasco” and “Morando Giuseppe figlio di Giovanni, 1847, Nativo di Rivigliasco.” Other marginalia by a different hand, perhaps earlier, include the name of “Jeronimus Zavorinus” on f. 58.

The whole volume was compared with another manuscript in the fourteenth century and the missing portions (the “additiones”) were noted, for example: f. 64, “deficit ca. 22 et 23”; f. 70, “deficit 17, 18 & 19”; f. 77v, “deficit 3m cam.”; f. 78, “deficit usque 12”; f. 81v, “deficit 29 & 30”; f. 85, “deficit hic.” The same hand attempts to supply the biblical chapter numbers. Occasional longer notes in the margins in the same hand as f. i (for example, ff. 12, 13, 27, 54v), or in another hand of the fourteenth century (for example, ff. 77, 136v), or in a hand of the sixteenth century (for example, ff. 179, 184v-188v).

On f. i verso, written in pale red ink in a mid-sixteenth or seventeenth century legal anglicana script, probably in explanation of the name “Radulphus” on f. 278v: “This booke appears to have been examined by Radulph de Baldock, Deane of Saint Paule 1297.” Ralph de Baldock, bishop of London, 1306-13, and chancellor of England, 1307, owned a number of books: Emden, BRUO, 2147-49 prints the list of the 37 books found in Baldock's study (June 1313) and of the 126 “libri scolastici” which Baldock bequeathed to St. Paul's in London; included at item 12 is “Historie scolastice cum aliis scriptis”; however, this book does not appear in St. Paul's 1458 catalogue, printed by W.

The table of contents on the pastedown, the Bury pressmark ?A.10? on the pastedown and on f. 5, and the note on the pastedown ?In custodia.s. laugham [?]? are in the hand of the fourteenth century Bury armarius Henry of Kirkestede; see R. H. Rouse, ?Bostonus Buriensis and the Author of the Catalogus scriptorum ecclesiae,? Speculum 41 (1966) 471-99. The contents of the manuscript are itemized in the thirteenth century Franciscan Registrum Anglie de libris doctorum et auctorum veterum, and in Kirkestede's ?Catalogus scriptorum ecclesiae,? items I.3, 22, 165, 186, 226, 366, 373. Upon the Dissolution the manuscript appears to have been acquired from the Bury library by Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper, who owned lands at Redgrave, Suffolk, that had belonged to the abbey. The property was acquired towards the end of the seventeenth century by Sir John Holt (1642-1709), whose niece married, ca. 1750, Thomas Wilson, ancestor of George Holt Wilson of Redgrave Hall, Suffolk. This manuscript and 2 others from Bury (another volume of Augustine, the companion to HM 31151, now > Cambridge, Mass., > Harvard University, > Houghton Library, > Richardson MS 26 > , and one of Jerome, now > London, > Brit. Lib., > Egerton MS 3776 > ) were in the G. H. Wilson sale, Sotheby's, 21 July 1910, lot 159 (both Augustines) to Quaritch. Quaritch Catalogue 321 (1912) n. 249 (both Augustines) with a plate of the Harvard volume, and Quaritch Catalogue 357 (1920) n. 380 (both Augustines) to A. Chester Beatty (1875-1968). See E. G. Millar, The Library of A. Chester Beatty (Oxford 1927-30) 1:94-95 with plate 73 of Western MS 25 (the Harvard volume) and 1:96-97 with plate 74 of Western MS 26 (HM 31151), f. 139.

> >

The 2 Augustines were divided at the Chester Beatty sale, Sotheby's, 7 June 1932, when the volume now at Harvard was sold as lot 6, with a plate; the present Augustine, HM 31151, was acquired by the Huntington Library in the Chester Beatty sale, Sotheby's, 3 December 1968, lot 6 with plates of f. 139, the binding, and the drawing of the dragon on f. 58v.

Bound after 1510, when the Dutch binder John Reynes immigrated to London, and apparently before 1519, when he discontinued use of his unsigned roll tool of a dog, a bird and a bee; see J. B. Oldham, English Blind-Stamped Bindings (Cambridge 1952) An.b(3) 556 used here in conjunction with his pineapple stamp, Oldham 437, and by the same author, Shrewsbury School Library Bindings (Oxford 1943) plate 9 of B:111.29, similar to the binding of HM 36336. Bound in brown calf over wooden boards with evidence of 2 fore edge straps dyed pink, closing to hooks (1 remains) on edge of back cover.

 <

Written in the early years of the sixteenth century, possibly at the London Charterhouse. The preparation of the parchment and the careful attention paid to quire structure, script, chapter headings and punctuation are concomitant with Carthusian origin. Its Reynes binding would point to the London house (although there is no sign of their exlibris), or to Henry V's Carthusian foundation at Sheen.

Provenance unknown until it appears in the late nineteenth century at Belton House, Grantham, in the library of Sir Adelbert Wellington Brownlow (1844-1921), whose bookplate is on the front pastedown: Rietstap, vol. 1, pl. 332 but differenced by, on the first quarter, argent, a sinister hand couped at the wrist gules and, on the escutcheon, sable, a cross engrailed argent between 4 fleur-de-lis of the same; the motto “Opera illius mea sunt.” Exhibition label (of the Victoria and Albert Museum?) affixed to the front pastedown, Case 88, exhibited by Earl Brownlow.

Written in the opening decades of the thirteenth century (with letter unions, but still written above the top line), possibly at the Cistercian abbey of St. Mary at Cambron.

The volume belonged to St. Mary's and bears the thirteenth century ex libris of the abbey: “Liber beate Marie de Camberone” on f. 1; “de Camberone” is entered in the lower recto margin every few leaves throughout the volume; on f. 98v, s. XV, “de camberone beate marie, Ihesus Maria” in red. This manuscript is possibly to be identified with item 61 in the 1782 catalogue of the Cambron library, “Liber magnus Petri Cantoris qui dicitur Verbum abbreviatum, item Casus penitentiales editi a fratre Remondo,” ed. R. Plancke, Les catalogues des manuscrits de l'ancienne abbaye de Cambron, Societe des Bibliophiles Belges, Mons, 40 (1938) 41, 44. It has been suggested that Chicago, Art Institute MS 20.214, a Raymond manuscript, was the second part mentioned in the 1782 catalogue; however, Plancke does not accept it as a Cambron manuscript, and its size as given by De Ricci, 18 × 13 cm., and its binding, “original wooden boards,” would imply that it was not part of HM 41537. The Huntington manuscript itself shows no evidence of ever having been joined to another text. In ink, on the front pastedown, “M 73.” Sold at Sotheby's, 16 July 1928, lot 213, “Property of a Nobleman.” N. 44 in the library of C. H.

Baldwin, Masters, Princes and Merchants: The Social Views of Peter the Chanter & His Circle (Princeton 1970) 2:246-65 for a discussion of the versions of the text and of the surviving manuscripts. HM 41537 is the manuscript from Cambron (termed C) used by the editor of the Verbum abbreviatum, the Belgian Benedictine Georges Galopin, for his edition published at Mons in 16391 and reprinted by Migne. Chapter numbers in the outer margin, but not entered in the text by the rubricator. The text has been corrected throughout. Carefully made marginal finding notes in the hand of the scribe: references to the psalms, names of authors cited, virtues and vices treated and major topic headings. Frequent additions in the margins in the hand of the scribe. Occasional distinctiones in schematic form; on f. 1, lower margin, a distinctio of 14 parts in schematic form, headed ?Insolubilia cantoris. De reconciliando cum fratre quem offendisti...

The volume belonged to St. Mary's and bears the thirteenth century ex libris of the abbey: ?Liber beate Marie de Camberone? on f. 1; ?de Camberone? is entered in the lower recto margin every few leaves throughout the volume; on f. 98v, s. XV, ?de camberone beate marie, Ihesus Maria? in red. This manuscript is possibly to be identified with item 61 in the 1782 catalogue of the Cambron library, ?Liber magnus Petri Cantoris qui dicitur Verbum abbreviatum, item Casus penitentiales editi a fratre Remondo,? ed. R. Plancke, Les catalogues des manuscrits de l'ancienne abbaye de Cambron, Societe des Bibliophiles Belges, Mons, 40 (1938) 41, 44. It has been suggested that Chicago, Art Institute MS 20.214, a Raymond manuscript, was the second part mentioned in the 1782 catalogue; however, Plancke does not accept it as a Cambron manuscript, and its size as given by De Ricci, 18 × 13 cm., and its binding, ?original wooden boards,? would imply that it was not part of HM 41537.

Written in England, or perhaps in France where it may have received its historiated initial and marginal spray,

but in England from an early date, as shown by the distinctly English decoration of the 2-line blue initials, and by the finding notes in the margins in an English hand. The only other copies of English provenance noted by Stigall are Cambridge, Trinity College 0.2.50 (1154), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), Temple University, Ms. 567 and Vatican, Reg. lat. 7147.

Calligraphic initial with 2 sketched faces, signed “w.w.,” on the Byrley ownership note, f. ii verso (see below). On the back flyleaves, rough sketches in crayon of a stag (?), a dog's head, an interlace design and a bird's head.

<

Bound, s. XX, in vellum from a document as recovering over earlier pasteboards; earlier spine label laid down; previous binding in red-brown calf, English, ca. 1780.

 <

Written in England during the middle years of the fifteenth century; the latest date in the text is 23 Henry VI, i.e. 1444-45 (on, e.g., ff. 74v, 84v, 86); the calendar does not include Osmund, canonized in 1456. The manuscript may have been copied in London by or for a stationer associated with the Inns of Court, as suggested by the existence of other legal manuscripts in related hands; the presence of Dunstan in the calendar may point to a connection with Clifford's Inn.

On f. ii verso, twice, the name of Thomas Byrley; on the third back flyleaf, “Ihesu mercy/ of Byrley constat/ Lady helpe/ <?>” and “Ihesu haue mercy on me so al men.” A Thomas Byrley was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1501; see Records of the Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn, Admissions (1896) 1:29 and The Black Books (1897) 1:122. The same man apparently owned a statute book now in Lincoln's Inn, Hale 176 (Misc. 12) with the inscription, “Thome Byrley constat liber.” Note, s. XVI, on f. ii verso, “Thomas Hever [or Henery?] Arthur Towers Francis Arm [?] J. Anthony Francis Anderson <?>.” Belonged to Philip Carteret Webb (1700-70); his sale, 25 February 1771, lot 2814 to John Lowes of Ridley Hall, Northumberland; Lowes' book plate on the front pastedown and, on f. ii, his acquisition note and collation of the text of the Old Tenures against the 1521 Pynson edition.

Each leaf is blank on the verso, except for the month name, which, when the calendar is folded, appears at the top on the outside of the leaf. <

Parchment,

ff. 8; open: 110 × 83 mm.; folded: 55 × 30 mm.

The 2 outer thirds of each leaf fold vertically inwards over the middle third; the entire leaf is then folded hroizontally downward in half. Tabs extending from the bottom of the middle third of each leaf, together with protective morocco flaps front and back are held by a brass clip with a loop at its other end, 50 × 32 mm., so as to hang the calendar from a belt. The clip is engraved with the sacred monogram “IHS” on one side, and with the Man of Sorrows on the other. This unit slides into a rectangular brass case which narrows towards a hole at the top, just large enough for the brass clip to slip through, so that the case rests on the shoulder of the parchment leaves. The case, 88 × 33 × 15 mm., is engraved: Felice chi pesa ogni suo paso/che del'opera reguarda el fine (J. Sanguinacci; in L. Frati, Rime del codice isoldiano, Bologna 1913, 1:264). On case front and back are images of the Crucifixion, and of John of Tossignano in bishop's dress, holding the sacred monogram; below his feet, the inscription: Beatus Iohannes de Tossiniano Iesuatus Ieronimi Episcopus Ferrariensis. For other examples of this type of folding portable book, see M. C. Garand, “Livres de poche medievaux a Dijon et a Rome,” Scriptorium 25 (1971) 18-24, and H.

Written probably in Ferrara, between 1450 (canonization of Bernardinus) and 1455 or 1458 (canonization of Vincent Ferrer and institution of the Feast of the Transfiguration, neither of which appear in the calendar).

John of Tossignano was bishop of Ferrara, 1432-1446. Sold by Gilhofer and Ranschburg, Lucerne, 14 June 1932, lot 598 with plate of the case. The numbers 2718 (crossed out) and 2882 on a rectangular, red-edged paper label affixed to the fitted pasteboard box containing the calendar. Belonged to Alice Parsons Millard (1873-1938);

following her death, friends acquired George (d. 1918) and Alice Millard's collection of materials on the evolution of the book, and donated it to the Huntington Library.

Calligraphic initial with 2 sketched faces, signed ?w.w.,? on the Byrley ownership note, f. ii verso (see below). On the back flyleaves, rough sketches in crayon of a stag (?), a dog's head, an interlace design and a bird's head.

>

Bound, s. XX, in vellum from a document as recovering over earlier pasteboards; earlier spine label laid down; previous binding in red-brown calf, English, ca. 1780.

> > >

Written in England during the middle years of the fifteenth century; the latest date in the text is 23 Henry VI, i.e. 1444-45 (on, e.g., ff. 74v, 84v, 86); the calendar does not include Osmund, canonized in 1456. The manuscript may have been copied in London by or for a stationer associated with the Inns of Court, as suggested by the existence of other legal manuscripts in related hands; the presence of Dunstan in the calendar may point to a connection with Clifford's Inn.

On f. ii verso, twice, the name of Thomas Byrley; on the third back flyleaf, ?Ihesu mercy/ of Byrley constat/ Lady helpe/ <?>? and ?Ihesu haue mercy on me so al men.? A Thomas Byrley was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1501; see Records of the Honorable Society of Lincoln's Inn, Admissions (1896) 1:29 and The Black Books (1897) 1:122. The same man apparently owned a statute book now in Lincoln's Inn, Hale 176 (Misc. 12) with the inscription, ?Thome Byrley constat liber.? Note, s. XVI, on f. ii verso, ?Thomas Hever [or Henery?] Arthur Towers Francis Arm [?] J. Anthony Francis Anderson <?>.? Belonged to Philip Carteret Webb (1700-70); his sale, 25 February 1771, lot 2814 to John Lowes of Ridley Hall, Northumberland; Lowes' book plate on the front pastedown and, on f. ii, his acquisition note and collation of the text of the Old Tenures against the 1521 Pynson edition.

The 2 outer thirds of each leaf fold vertically inwards over the middle third; the entire leaf is then folded hroizontally downward in half. Tabs extending from the bottom of the middle third of each leaf, together with protective morocco flaps front and back are held by a brass clip with a loop at its other end, 50 × 32 mm., so as to hang the calendar from a belt. The clip is engraved with the sacred monogram ?IHS? on one side, and with the Man of Sorrows on the other. This unit slides into a rectangular brass case which narrows towards a hole at the top, just large enough for the brass clip to slip through, so that the case rests on the shoulder of the parchment leaves. The case, 88 × 33 × 15 mm., is engraved: Felice chi pesa ogni suo paso/che del'opera reguarda el fine (J. Sanguinacci; in L. Frati, Rime del codice isoldiano, Bologna 1913, 1:264). On case front and back are images of the Crucifixion, and of John of Tossignano in bishop's dress, holding the sacred monogram; below his feet, the inscription: Beatus Iohannes de Tossiniano Iesuatus Ieronimi Episcopus Ferrariensis. For other examples of this type of folding portable book, see M. C. Garand, ?Livres de poche medievaux a Dijon et a Rome,? > Scriptorium 25 (1971) 18-24, and H.

Written probably in Ferrara, between 1450 (canonization of Bernardinus) and 1455 or 1458 (canonization of Vincent Ferrer and institution of the Feast of the Transfiguration, neither of which appear in the calendar).

John of Tossignano was bishop of Ferrara, 1432-1446. Sold by Gilhofer and Ranschburg, Lucerne, 14 June 1932, lot 598 with plate of the case. The numbers 2718 (crossed out) and 2882 on a rectangular, red-edged paper label affixed to the fitted pasteboard box containing the calendar. Belonged to Alice Parsons Millard (1873-1938);

Twenty-seven historiated initials or border designs added in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, of which eleven are partially or completely based on compositions of Girolamo da Cremona and Liberale da Verona in Sienese choir books; see M. G. Ciardi Dupre, I Corali del Duomo di Siena (Siena 1972); most are signed “David [?] Gray Apl. 7/23”; the subject is frequently inappropriate to the feast and the letter has occasionally been rendered incorrectly. The initials are: f. 1v, “Ave Maria” in a rayed circle; f. 6v, 2 putti placing a collar on a stag (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 176); f. 9v, Christ triumphant (Ciardi Dupre, pl.214); f. 18v, Michael Archangel, with Renaissance ornament in the lower margin (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 87); f. 24v, the 3 Kings, one with a halo, who kisses the Baby Jesus' foot (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 185); f. 27, a young Renaissance gentleman with halo, sword and palm leaf, and ornament in the lower margin; f. 28, an elegant young saint riding on a white horse and holding the standard of Christ; in the lower margin, a haloed figure with a palm leaf; f. 32v, Virgin and Child; f. 40v, David in penitence in a landscape (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 239); f. 41, Jesus walking in a landscape (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 262); f. 47, 2 angles in prayer; f. 52v, Christ triumphant (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 220); f. 66, 3 shields, based on Sienese models, in the lower margin: gules, a griffin rampant argent; red flourishes on a shield per fess argent and sable; azure, bentwise “Libertas” or; f. 67v, Crucifixion with Mary and Mary Magdalene, and Renaissance ornament in the outer margin; f. 74v, busts of a young angel and of Jesus (?); f. 75, a young gentleman with halo and standard; f. 75, Jesus, his finger touching the mute man's mouth (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 266); f. 79v, a bishop and a young angel; f. 80, a praying angel; f. 84v, George in armor with Renaissance ornament in the border; f. 92v, angels playing musical instruments and Peter, with Renaisance ornament in the outer margin; f. 104v, the Good Shepherd and a bishop; f. 113, a monstrance (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 105), and the Veronica; f. 119v, a young armored saint on a prancing white horse, holding the standard; on the initial, the same 3 coats of arms as on f. 66; f. 120, bust of an angel; f. 124, Silvester baptizing Constantine (Ciardi Dupre, pl. 105); f. 127v, an allegorical representation of a Wind (Ciardi Dupre, pls. 242, 243).

Bound, s. XVIII, in wooden boards with large bosses and studs on all sides and along spine; rebacked; cracks in the wood repaired with small brass plates on the inside. Thumb holes cut along the lower edge of each leaf; book marks of yellow silk and red braid hang from a wire attached to the top of the spine. Leaves from another antiphonal used as flyleaves (foliated as ff. 1 and 178, now scraped and written over) and as pastedowns (the front pastedown, once present as shown by offset on front cover, now missing; the back pastedown now lifted) from a book very similar to the present one. Two stoles and a strip of silk formerly loose in the volume; on a large, carved, pseudo-gothic lectern.

 <

Written for use in a Franciscan house, after the canonization of Didacus in 1588.

In 1719 P. Regulus added the table of contents and identified himself as being from “Vurno,” probably the town of Vorno in the province of Lucca, which would have fallen under the jurisdiction of the Franciscan province of Tuscany.

Date and source of acquisition by the Huntington Library unknown.

Bound, s. XVIII, in wooden boards with large bosses and studs on all sides and along spine; rebacked; cracks in the wood repaired with small brass plates on the inside. Thumb holes cut along the lower edge of each leaf; book marks of yellow silk and red braid hang from a wire attached to the top of the spine. Leaves from another antiphonal used as flyleaves (foliated as ff. 1 and 178, now scraped and written over) and as pastedowns (the front pastedown, once present as shown by offset on front cover, now missing; the back pastedown now lifted) from a book very similar to the present one. Two stoles and a strip of silk formerly loose in the volume; on a large, carved, pseudo-gothic lectern.

89 × 67 (70 × 42) mm.

110(-1, 10; 1 replaced by another leaf) 2-510 612(-1, 10 after ff. 49 and 57) 710(-9 after f. 67, probably blank) 810(through f. 78) 910(through f. 88) 1010(through f. 98) 1110(-9, 10 after f. 106) 1210 1310(-a leaf in the second half) 1410(-10 after f. 134, no loss of text) 1510(through f. 144) 1610(-1, no apparent loss of text; through f. 153) 17-1810(through f. 173) 19-2010 212(through f. 195) 2212(through f. 207) 2310(through f. 217) 2410(through f. 227) 2510 268. Quire structure and arrangement of texts show production in booklets.

Quires marked in blue ink with letters of the alphabet and in pencil with numbers, both systems modern and incorrect.

Usually 18 long lines, frame ruled in ink.

Written by one person in a German littera cursiva with additions by 3 other people: i, ff. 69-71 and 144v, in a contemporary hand; ii, ff. 71v-76, in a sixteenth century hand; iii, ff. 243v-244v, in a contemporary hand. 6- to 1-line red initials, occasionally washed in yellow; rubrics and underlining in red.

Damage to ff. 98v and 227v suggests that engravings, once pasted to these pages, have since been removed.

Contemporary foliation: 49-50 (on present ff. 2-3), 68-70 (on present ff. 20-22), 99-106 (on present ff. 50-57), 108-117 (on present ff. 58-67), 119 (on present f. 68) 120-127 (on present ff. 79-86). Contemporary foliation shows 48 leaves missing at the beginning of the volume (one of which probably now mounted as f. 1), 1 leaf missing between the present ff. 3 and 20 (actually after f. 9), 1 leaf missing between the present ff. 22 and 50 (actually after f. 49), 1 leaf missing between the present ff. 57 and 58, 1 leaf missing between the present ff. 67 and 68; the discrepancy between the 2 sets of foliation at the present f. 68 (in contemporary foliation, f. 119) and the present f. 79 (in contemporary foliation, f. 120) is due to the foliator having omitted numbering the quire of then blank leaves, now ff. 69-78 (with same watermark and ruling as rest of volume).

Bound, s. XV, in red leather over pasteboards, stamped with diagonal rules and an enclosed rosette; remains of a fore edge clasp, closing back to front; remains of red leather fore edge tabs; rebacked.

Written in northwestern Germany (as suggested by the veneration shown to Odilia and Matthias, patrons respectively of Strasbourg and Trier), after 1461 (the date of canonization of Catherine of Siena), for and probably by a Dominican (see arts. 2, 4, 5, 9, 15, 17) whose name seems to have been Louis: on f. 184v is a prayer for “... me indignum famulum tuum ludowicum...”

On f. 245, ownership note of “Frater Balthasarus Schuop anno domini 1572.” Sixteenth century ex libris of a convent, probably Dominican, in Frankfurt on f. ii, “Iste libellus pertinet ad Conventum Franckfordiciensem Anno domini [15]78.” Eighteenth century pressmark, presumably of the same convent, on f. iii verso, “No. 4910 C[onventus] fr[atrum] O[rdinis] P[raedicatorum].” Given after the secularization by a Professor Schutz, teacher of Latin, to his student on 16 January 1813 according to the note on f. 123, “Dieses Manuscript habe ich von meinem lateinischen Lehere herr Professor Schutz zum Geschenk bekommen <?>stag den 16ten Januar 1813”; the lower edge of this leaf cut away, possibly to remove the student's signature. On f. i verso, “This volume was picked up on the field of Gravelotte, shortly after the battle [of the Franco-Prussian war, west of Metz, 18 August 1870] by James Audus Hirst Esq. of Adel near Leeds who gave it to his daughter Ethel Adela (Mrs. W. A. Harding).” Mrs. Harding, an author, and her husband, Walter Ambrose Harding of Madingley Hall, Cambridgeshire, died in 1942. Acquired by James Thorpe in Cambridge, England, ca. 1950;

ff. ii (modern paper) + ii (modern paper);

222 × 147-165 (135-178 × 80-132) mm.

Collation cannot be determined, as all leaves are mounted on stubs.

Catchwords on f. 29v (different from following text, even though contemporary foliation is consecutive) and on f. 148v.

Scattered signatures: on f. 22, “4” in the lower right corner; on ff. 83-90, in the center of the lower margin, “ay,” “a3,” “ah,” “ak” (leaves with contemporary foliation, 50-53), “q,” “re,” “at,” “av” (leaves with contemporary foliation, 69-72); on ff. 141-148, in the center of the lower margin, “am” to “at” (leaves with contemporary foliation, 73-80).

Written in England during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The second copyist appears to have been responsible for gathering together parts of several manuscripts, annotating them, foliating them and numbering the recipes in various sections.

Among the pen trials on f. 125v what may be a copyist's or an owner's name, “[w]ell beloved rotgers.” On f. 1, ca. 1600, “Jo. Bisshop,” the same person who signed another alchemical and medical compilation formed of several manuscripts and formerly in the Hastings collection (Hastings Report, p. 430; alienated before 1926?).

Written in western Germany, ca. 1478-80, by Johann Pilter, who also decorated and annotated the printed book and left his name at various places in the volume: f. 111 (at end of Herolt's Sermones), “Ego Iohannes pylter pro nunc possessor huius libri eundem illuminavi anno 1480 In Ieiunio quadragesimali deo gratias”; f. 174v (contemporary foliation, f. 277v), “Anno domini Mo cccclxxviiio Hos sermones et postillas Ego Iohannes pylter mecum duxi de Treveri circa festum sancte Margarete cum ibi presens eram cum clusenario meo de Wehene scilicet hinrico tuleman deo gratias. Amen”; f. 215v (contemporary foliation, f. 318v, at the end of the printed book), “Istum librum ego Iohannes pylter plebanus in Sydinchuss concessi ad bonam custodiam devoto patri domino conrado lovelinaus [?] terciario in hovegeismare usque ad revocationem, in presentia domini Iohannis Conradi et Iohannis de Ad<?> ipso die beate Anne in Buren, anno 1487.” Johann Pilter wrote and gave a number of manuscripts to Eberhardsklausen (Windesheim Congregation) near Trier between 1459 and 1486 (see Benedictins du Bouveret, Colophons de Manuscrits..., Fribourg 1965-82, nn. 10976-10982). He came from Warburg in the diocese of Paderborn, held a benefice in Buren, and served as rural priest in Zidinchuss near Buren; he is probably not the same person as Johannes de Buren, d. 1503 (Colophons, nn. 9085-9095). Regarding the house and its members, see P. Dohms, Die Geschichte des Klosters und Wallfahrtsortes Eberhardsklausen an der Mosel. Rheinisches Archiv 64 (Bonn 1968).

This book was not among the books which Pilter left to Eberhardsklausen and which passed to the Staatsbibliothek in Trier in 1802, since he gave it to a Franciscan of Hofgeismar (cf. note f. 215v), where it apparently remained until the secularization. Belonged to Leander van Ess (1772-1847); his initials in pale red ink on f. 3 of the manuscript. Sold by him to Sir Thomas Phillipps. On a printed paper label on the upper spine, “183,” the number of this book in the Catalogus Incunabulorum of former van Ess books in the Phillipps collection. In ink on the front pastedown and on a square printed label on the lower spine, the number “119.” “81” in modern pencil on f. 3. Nn. 407-408 in the bound Rosenbach typescript in Rare Books Department files.

Written at least in part at Paderborn between 1470 (?) and 1492 by Henricus Dazeborch of the Dominican house in Wartburg. Henricus also copied 7 leaves bound before Peter Lombard, Sententiarum Libri IV (Basle: Nicolaus Kesler, 1489), Hain 10196 and Thomas Aquinas, Scripta ad Hannibaldum (Basle: Nicolaus Kesler, 1492), Copinger 579, bound together as Huntington Library RB 54171-72. Henricus' material contains mnemonic and study devices on the Sentences: 1. Res tres mens genuit essencia velle potestas/ Esse coevus amor uterque prius genitus dant... [also in Frankfurt, Stadts- und Universitatsbibliothek, MS Barth. 99, f. 364], signed “Et finit quartus liber sententiarum metrice per me hinricum dazeborch ordinis predicatorum Anno domini Mo cccc 91 in Paderborn pro tunc terminarius ibidem”; 2.

Sent. 322) on the Sentences bound before Henry of Gorichem, Quaestiones in S. Thomam [Esslingen: Conrad Fyner, not after 1475], Hain 7806, Huntington Library RB 104671. Another printed book with manuscript material by Henricus Dazeborch is known through the bound Rosenbach typescript of Phillipps incunabula (in Rare Book Department files).

In 1923 A. S. W. Rosenbach offered to Henry Huntington a copy of Johannes Herolt, Sermones discipuli super Epistolas dominicales [Cologne: Conrad Winters, de Homborch, ca. 1478], Copinger 2936, which contains a manuscript table copied by Henricus Dazeborch and dated 1481. The volume was returned or disposed of as duplicate (of RB 103500) at an unknown date; present location unknown. A Henricus de Dosburch is listed on the flyleaf of Berlin, Deutsche Staatsbibliothek, MS lat. 544 (th. fol. 145); that manuscript dated Leipzig, 1464; no medieval provenance given.

Bound, 1986, at the Huntington Library in white pigskin. Previous binding (retained in case with book), s. XVI, in pigskin over boards, with roll of renaissance ornament and 4 small compartments, 220 × 17 mm.: “Salvator” (half figure of Christ, blessing and holding cross-and-orb, facing left), “S. Iohannes Tau” (presumably John the Baptist, as he is normal to this sequence in sixteenth century German binding rolls; half figure, holding a book, facing left), “S. Paulus.O.” (half figure of Paul, holding sword and book, facing left), “Rex.O. Davit” (half figure of David holding harp, facing right); for this roll, see K. Haebler, “Rollen- und Plattenstempel des XVI. Jahrhunderts,” in Sammlung Bibliothekswissenschaftlicher Arbeiten 42 (Leipzig 1929) 227, Munich-41; the “Tau” after “S. Iohannes” could be the binder's initial “T” (also normal practice), for an example of which see Haebler, “Rollen-,” ibid. 41 (Leipzig 1928) 440, F. T.-1, a very similar roll signed “F. T.” On the previous binding of HM 51848, remains of 2 fore edge clasps closing from bottom to top.

Commentary by Ambrosiaster on the Pauline Epistles. CPL 184. PL 17:45-332D, 411B-420, 441-462, 421A, 423C-426A, 488D-494C. This manuscript missing 4 quires after f. 112 (end of commentary on 2 Corinthians, all of Galatians, all of Ephesians, beginning of Philippians); missing one leaf after f. 126 (part of Colossians); missing undetermined amount after f. 127 (end of Colossians, all of 1 Timothy, beginning of 2 Timothy); missing undetermined amount after f. 129 (end of 2 Timothy, all of Titus, all of Philemon); 1 and 2 Thessalonians are copied before Colossians. Each epistle commentary remaining with incipit (Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Colossians) is prefaced by a chapter list; the chapter lists in this copy of Ambrosiaster retain forms of the Vetus Latina recension. The prologue to 2 Corinthians is that printed in the PL (not the one beginning “Sciens sanctus apostolus profecisse epistolam... ” printed by A. Souter, “The Genuine Prologue to Ambrosiaster on Second Corinthians,” Journal of Theological Studies 4, 1903, 89-92), although the text of the commentary itself on 2 Corinthians begins differently here (but not in any large manner for any of the other commentaries) from that of the PL: “Paulus apostolus Ihesu Christi. Queritur cur in omnibus epistolis contra usum epistolarum primo suum nomen ponat... ” A. Souter, A Study of Ambrosiaster (Cambridge 1905) 15, n. 12; same author, The Earliest Latin Commentaries on the Epistles of St. Paul (Oxford 1927) 57; H. J. Vogels, “Die Uberlieferung des Ambrosiasterkommentars zu den Paulinischen Briefen,” Nachrichten der Akademie der Wissen-schaften in Gottingen, Philologisch-Historische Klasse (1959) 115, n. 5, all citing the present manuscript as “Bramshill House, IV.” Vogels lists 72 manuscripts of this text.

Parchment,

ff. 129;

340 × 260 (270 × 157) mm.

1-158 168(- 6 after f. 126) + 2 leaves of a later quire.

Quires counted in roman numerals in the center of the last leaf verso, [I]-XIIII on quires 1-14, and XIX-XX on quires 15-16; these 2 quires also signed C-D in the center of the first leaf recto.

Ruled in dry point with top first and third (or occasionally second and fourth) lines and bottom last and third from last lines full across; double vertical rules on both sides of both columns (thus 4 central rules).

2 columns of 39-41 lines, with text copied above top line.

Written by 2 scribes in minuscule scripts: i, ff. 1-112v; ii, ff. 113-129v (the quires with additional signatures, C-D); both use a smaller size script for the chapter lists, and a form of rustic capitals for the rubrics. The first scribe uses as “catchword” the latter part of a word that he was forced to divide and carry from one column to the next due to limitations of space.

Four opening initials with scrollwork in the text section copied by the first scribe: f. 1 (prologue; somewhat damaged by damp), 24-line, in green, blue and red, inhabited by monks; f. 1v (Romans), approx. 26-line, but extending into the lower margin and cropped at the bottom, in pen outline without color, biting lions and foliage; f. 54 (1 Corinthians), 31-line, in green, blue and red, with men, animals and grotesques all grasping on to or holding one another; f. 90 (2 Corinthians), 20-line, in dark green, blue and red, with biting dragons. Three opening initials in simpler style in the text section copied by the second scribe: f. 118v (1 Thessalonians), 14-line, parted blue and green; f. 124 (2 Thessalonians), 14-line, purple; f. 126v (Colossians), 7-line, red with purple flourishing. Secondary initials, 5- or 4- line, and minor initials, slightly over 1-line, in green, light purple or red; those from f. 113 on, where the second scribe worked, occasionally with some void design or parted. Rubrics frequently in colored ink, e.g. f. 1 in blue and purple; ff. 1v and 54, green and red; f. 90, green, blue and red; f. 118, purple. Running headlines across the openings; biblical quotations signalled in the margins.

Bound, s. XV, in calf over wooden boards, tooled and stamped in somewhat different patterns for the front and back covers by the “Fishtail” binder in Oxford; see Oldham, p. 22, stamps 160 and 162; remains of 2 clasps, closing from bottom to top, and evidence of a label formerly on the back cover.

Written in England at Winchcombe Abbey ca. 1130-1140, by two scribes, the first of whom is the same scribe who copied the Bede now Oxford, Bod. Lib., Douce 368 (see N. R. Ker, English Manuscripts in the Century after the Norman Conquest, Oxford 1960, pl. 24). The two manuscripts were also decorated by the same artist; see A. Heimann, “A Twelfth-Century Manuscript from Winchcombe and its illustrations: Dublin, Trinity College, MS 53,” JWCI 28 (1965) 86-109, citing this manuscript on pp. 107-108, and with a reproduction of the initial, f. 1v; Sotheby's catalogue, 11 December 1979, lot 46, also links the illumination of the present manuscript with that in two other Winchcombe books (Cambridge, University Library, Mm.3.31; London, Brit. Lib., Cotton Tiberius E.iv). See Ker, MLGB, pp. 198-199 for a list of surviving books from Winchcombe Abbey, including HM 52435 (as Camarillo, Doheny Lib., 50).

This book was still at Winchcombe under the energetic direction of Richard Kidderminster (abbot, 1488-1525), when it received its present binding, as did another Winchcombe book in similar binding, an Augustine, now Oxford, Jesus College, MS 102. Said in the literature (Dawson's typescript description [1950]; Doheny catalogue 1955; Bond and Faye 1962; Christie's sale catalogue 1987; see below) to have belonged to Sir John Prise (1502/03?-1555), a commissioner for the visitation of the monasteries in 1535 and 1539. This ownership seems posited on the fact that Jesus College 102 belonged to Prise and that the two manuscripts (the present one and Jesus College 102) are in very similar bindings. However, the binding of both was certainly done while the books were still at Winchcombe. Moreover, Prise's will directs that his books go to Hereford Cathedral (where one is presently so identified) and to Jesus College (where 2 are so identified); neither of the other Winchcombe books that passed by inheritance through the Cope family shows any evidence of ownership by Prise (Cope sale, lot 9, later Sotheby's, 11 December 1979, lot 46, now Oxford, Bod. Lib., Lat. th. d. 461; Cope sale, lot 171, untraced). See N. R. Ker, “Sir John Prise,” The Library, ser. 5, vol. 10 (1955) 1-24, esp. p. 15, listing an Ambrosiaster that did belong to Prise (London, Brit. Lib., Burney 42; whence some of the present confusion?), p. 14, emphasizing the Cirencester (Gloucestershire) and St. Guthlac (Hereford) origin of most of Prise's books, and pp. 19-20, discussing the Winchcombe origin of the present manuscript in the context of Prise's ownership of Jesus College 102. May have belonged to Sir Walter Cope; see A. G. Watson, “The Manuscript Collection of Sir Walter Cope (d. 1614),” Bodleian Library Record 12 (1987) 262-297, discussing this manuscript on pp. 274, 291-292. The book was in the library of the descendants of Sir Anthony Cope, a brother of Sir Walter; it was recorded in the Cope inventory compiled ca. 1772 as n. 6. Sale of Sir Anthony Cope of Bramshill Park, Winchfield, Hampshire, Sotheby's, 4 March 1913, lot 4 to Barnard. On the front pastedown the bookplate of E. F. Bosanquet; his sale, Sotheby's, 24 June 1944, lot 64 to Maggs. Also on the front pastedown, in pencil, the note, “George A. Goyder, Maltby, Oxford, 1944”; sold by him to Maggs in 1950. On the back pastedown, the name of Dawson's Book Shop in Los Angeles and the date June 1950 (but not their price code); a typescript description from Dawson's is with the book. Acquired at that time from Dawson's by Carrie Estelle Doheny, on whose collecting see E. Shaffer, “Reminiscences of a California Collector: Mrs. Edward Laurence Doheny 1875-1958,” The Book Collector 14 (1965) 49-59. Doheny accession number 6385 on f. 129v. Mrs. Doheny left her extensive collection of manuscripts, books, William Morris materials, paperweights, Western Americana, paintings and tapestries to the library she built at St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, California, in the archdiocese of Los Angeles, as a memorial to her husband.

<

Sold by the archdiocese through Christie's, 2 December 1987, lot 141 with reproduction of initials on ff. 1, 1v, 54, 90 to Maggs for the Huntington Library as a gift of the Dan Murphy Foundation in memory of Bernardine Murphy Donohue.

Written in eastern Europe in the second half of the fifteenth century. The writer of the index (art. 4) may have overseen the production of this manuscript. He numbered the openings of arts. 1-3 (written by 2 other copyists) for the index which he compiled on ff. 99-100. The last 2 leaves of arts. 2-3 and the index occupy the beginning of a large quire of different paper; to this a third copyist, who ruled both the frame and lines of ff. 100v-130v, added art. 5, the Passio of Jordanus of Quedlinburg.

Bound, 1986, at the Huntington Library in white pigskin. Previous binding (retained in case with book), s. XVI, in pigskin over boards, with roll of renaissance ornament and 4 small compartments, 220 × 17 mm.: ?Salvator? (half figure of Christ, blessing and holding cross-and-orb, facing left), ?S. Iohannes Tau? (presumably John the Baptist, as he is normal to this sequence in sixteenth century German binding rolls; half figure, holding a book, facing left), ?S. Paulus.O.? (half figure of Paul, holding sword and book, facing left), ?Rex.O. Davit? (half figure of David holding harp, facing right); for this roll, see K. Haebler, ?Rollen- und Plattenstempel des XVI. Jahrhunderts,? in Sammlung Bibliothekswissenschaftlicher Arbeiten 42 (Leipzig 1929) 227, Munich-41; the ?Tau? after ?S. Iohannes? could be the binder's initial ?T? (also normal practice), for an example of which see Haebler, ?Rollen-,? ibid. 41 (Leipzig 1928) 440, F. T.-1, a very similar roll signed ?F. T.? On the previous binding of HM 51848, remains of 2 fore edge clasps closing from bottom to top.

Commentary by Ambrosiaster on the Pauline Epistles. > CPL > 184. > PL > 17:45-332D, 411B-420, 441-462, 421A, 423C-426A, 488D-494C. This manuscript missing 4 quires after f. 112 (end of commentary on 2 Corinthians, all of Galatians, all of Ephesians, beginning of Philippians); missing one leaf after f. 126 (part of Colossians); missing undetermined amount after f. 127 (end of Colossians, all of 1 Timothy, beginning of 2 Timothy); missing undetermined amount after f. 129 (end of 2 Timothy, all of Titus, all of Philemon); 1 and 2 Thessalonians are copied before Colossians. Each epistle commentary remaining with incipit (Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Colossians) is prefaced by a chapter list; the chapter lists in this copy of Ambrosiaster retain forms of the Vetus Latina recension. The prologue to 2 Corinthians is that printed in the > PL > (not the one beginning ?Sciens sanctus apostolus profecisse epistolam... ? printed by A. Souter, ?The Genuine Prologue to Ambrosiaster on Second Corinthians,?

Quires counted in roman numerals in the center of the last leaf verso, [I]-XIIII on quires 1-14, and XIX-XX on quires 15-16; these 2 quires also signed C-D in the center of the first leaf recto.

Ruled in dry point with top first and third (or occasionally second and fourth) lines and bottom last and third from last lines full across; double vertical rules on both sides of both columns (thus 4 central rules).

>

2 columns of 39-41 lines, with text copied above top line.

>

Written by 2 scribes in minuscule scripts: i, ff. 1-112v; ii, ff. 113-129v (the quires with additional signatures, C-D); both use a smaller size script for the chapter lists, and a form of rustic capitals for the rubrics. The first scribe uses as ?catchword? the latter part of a word that he was forced to divide and carry from one column to the next due to limitations of space.

>

Four opening initials with scrollwork in the text section copied by the first scribe: f. 1 (prologue; somewhat damaged by damp), 24-line, in green, blue and red, inhabited by monks; f. 1v (Romans), approx. 26-line, but extending into the lower margin and cropped at the bottom, in pen outline without color, biting lions and foliage; f. 54 (1 Corinthians), 31-line, in green, blue and red, with men, animals and grotesques all grasping on to or holding one another; f. 90 (2 Corinthians), 20-line, in dark green, blue and red, with biting dragons. Three opening initials in simpler style in the text section copied by the second scribe: f. 118v (1 Thessalonians), 14-line, parted blue and green; f. 124 (2 Thessalonians), 14-line, purple; f. 126v (Colossians), 7-line, red with purple flourishing. Secondary initials, 5- or 4- line, and minor initials, slightly over 1-line, in green, light purple or red; those from f. 113 on, where the second scribe worked, occasionally with some void design or parted. Rubrics frequently in colored ink, e.g. f. 1 in blue and purple; ff. 1v and 54, green and red; f. 90, green, blue and red; f. 118, purple. Running headlines across the openings; biblical quotations signalled in the margins.

Bound, s. XV, in calf over wooden boards, tooled and stamped in somewhat different patterns for the front and back covers by the ?Fishtail? binder in Oxford; see Oldham, p. 22, stamps 160 and 162; remains of 2 clasps, closing from bottom to top, and evidence of a label formerly on the back cover.

Written in England at Winchcombe Abbey ca. 1130-1140, by two scribes, the first of whom is the same scribe who copied the Bede now > Oxford, > Bod. Lib., > Douce 368 > (see N. R. Ker, English Manuscripts in the Century after the Norman Conquest, Oxford 1960, pl. 24). The two manuscripts were also decorated by the same artist; see A. Heimann, ?A Twelfth-Century Manuscript from Winchcombe and its illustrations: Dublin, Trinity College, MS 53,? > JWCI > 28 (1965) 86-109, citing this manuscript on pp. 107-108, and with a reproduction of the initial, f. 1v; Sotheby's catalogue, 11 December 1979, lot 46, also links the illumination of the present manuscript with that in two other Winchcombe books ( > Cambridge, > University Library, > Mm.3.31 > ; > London, > Brit. Lib., > Cotton Tiberius E.iv > ). See Ker, MLGB > , pp. 198-199 for a list of surviving books from Winchcombe Abbey, including HM 52435 (as > Camarillo, > Doheny Lib., > 50 > ).

>

This book was still at Winchcombe under the energetic direction of Richard Kidderminster (abbot, 1488-1525), when it received its present binding, as did another Winchcombe book in similar binding, an Augustine, now > Oxford, > Jesus College, > MS 102 > . Said in the literature (Dawson's typescript description [1950]; Doheny catalogue 1955; Bond and Faye 1962; Christie's sale catalogue 1987; see below) to have belonged to Sir John Prise (1502/03?-1555), a commissioner for the visitation of the monasteries in 1535 and 1539. This ownership seems posited on the fact that Jesus College 102 belonged to Prise and that the two manuscripts (the present one and Jesus College 102) are in very similar bindings. However, the binding of both was certainly done while the books were still at Winchcombe. Moreover, Prise's will directs that his books go to Hereford Cathedral (where one is presently so identified) and to Jesus College (where 2 are so identified); neither of the other Winchcombe books that passed by inheritance through the Cope family shows any evidence of ownership by Prise (Cope sale, lot 9, later Sotheby's, 11 December 1979, lot 46, now > Oxford, > Bod. Lib., > Lat. th. d. 46 > > 1; Cope sale, lot 171, untraced). See N. R. Ker, ?Sir John Prise,? The Library, ser. 5, vol. 10 (1955) 1-24, esp. p. 15, listing an Ambrosiaster that did belong to Prise ( > London, > Brit. Lib., > Burney 42 > ; whence some of the present confusion?), p. 14, emphasizing the Cirencester (Gloucestershire) and St. Guthlac (Hereford) origin of most of Prise's books, and pp. 19-20, discussing the Winchcombe origin of the present manuscript in the context of Prise's ownership of Jesus College 102. May have belonged to Sir Walter Cope; see A. G. Watson, ?The Manuscript Collection of Sir Walter Cope (d. 1614),? Bodleian Library Record 12 (1987) 262-297, discussing this manuscript on pp. 274, 291-292. The book was in the library of the descendants of Sir Anthony Cope, a brother of Sir Walter; it was recorded in the Cope inventory compiled ca. 1772 as n. 6. Sale of Sir Anthony Cope of Bramshill Park, Winchfield, Hampshire, Sotheby's, 4 March 1913, lot 4 to Barnard. On the front pastedown the bookplate of E. F. Bosanquet; his sale, Sotheby's, 24 June 1944, lot 64 to Maggs. Also on the front pastedown, in pencil, the note, ?George A. Goyder, Maltby, Oxford, 1944?; sold by him to Maggs in 1950. On the back pastedown, the name of Dawson's Book Shop in Los Angeles and the date June 1950 (but not their price code); a typescript description from Dawson's is with the book. Acquired at that time from Dawson's by Carrie Estelle Doheny, on whose collecting see E. Shaffer, ?Reminiscences of a California Collector: Mrs. Edward Laurence Doheny 1875-1958,? The Book Collector 14 (1965) 49-59. Doheny accession number 6385 on f. 129v. Mrs. Doheny left her extensive collection of manuscripts, books, William Morris materials, paperweights, Western Americana, paintings and tapestries to the library she built at St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, California, in the archdiocese of Los Angeles, as a memorial to her husband.

Sold by the archdiocese through Christie's, 2 December 1987, lot 141 with reproduction of initials on ff. 1, 1v, 54, 90 to Maggs for the Huntington Library as a gift of the Dan Murphy Foundation in memory of Bernardine Murphy Donohue.
