06392England: 1830. A Handsome Early Nineteenth-Century Poetry Anthology Manuscript<br /> Elegantly Written and Illustrated with Charming Wash Drawings<br /> <br /> MANUSCRIPT POETRY ANTHOLOGY. Manuscript anthology of English poetry. England early-to mid-19th century.<br /> <br /> Square octavo 7 3/4 x 6 3/8 inches; 197 x 162 mm. 115 manuscript pages followed by four manuscript pages of index and one blank leaf. Written throughout in a clear and elegant brown-ink cursive hand. Several pages embellished with attractive pen-and-wash drawings including pastoral landscapes and small ornamental vignettes one depicting a rustic cottage beside a stream with church spire beyond another a pair of doves rendered in delicate gray wash.<br /> <br /> Handsomely bound in full contemporary maroon straight-grain morocco covers decoratively paneled in gilt and blind with elaborate floral corner borders spine in compartments richly ruled and ornamented in gilt board edges and turn-ins gilt red endpapers all edges gilt.<br /> <br /> A particularly appealing early nineteenth-century manuscript poetry anthology carefully compiled by an accomplished hand and attractively embellished with original drawings. The manuscript contains copies of poems and extracts by many of the most celebrated poets of the English canon including Robert Burns Lord Byron William Cowper Oliver Goldsmith John Milton Alexander Pope Sir Walter Scott William Shakespeare James Thomson and William Wordsworth together with additional popular verses circulating in print culture during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.<br /> <br /> The selection reflects the literary taste of the Romantic age drawing heavily on poets whose works were widely read and admired in the decades around 1800. Many poems were clearly copied from contemporary printed editions and literary magazines a common practice among educated readers of the period who assembled their own "commonplace books" or poetic albums as records of personal reading and reflection. Such manuscripts served both as repositories of admired literature and as exercises in penmanship literary appreciation and polite accomplishment.<br /> The present manuscript belongs firmly within this tradition. The writing is careful and highly legible suggesting a compiler who took pride in both calligraphy and arrangement. Several poems are introduced with small decorative drawings charmingly executed in sepia wash and placed above the text in the manner of vignette illustrations. These include a pastoral landscape scene accompanying lines beginning "O that this lovely vale were mine!" and a small study of doves above a transcription of lines attributed to Wordsworth beginning "Stay passenger and though within / Nor gold nor glittering gems are seen.". The drawings though modest in scale give the volume the atmosphere of a personal gift book or keepsake rather than a purely utilitarian notebook.<br /> <br /> A neatly prepared manuscript index at the end of the volume lists the poems and authors demonstrating that the compiler intended the book to function as a permanent anthology rather than a casual collection of copied verses. The combination of literary selection calligraphic care and decorative illustration suggests a manuscript created either as a cultivated personal project or as a presentation volume within the domestic literary culture of the early nineteenth century.<br /> <br /> Manuscript poetry anthologies of this kind were especially popular in Britain during the late Georgian and early Victorian periods when poetry formed an essential part of polite education and social life. Before the widespread availability of inexpensive printed anthologies readers frequently created their own compilations of favorite poems. These volumes often preserve fascinating evidence of the reading habits and aesthetic preferences of their compilers and when illustrated-as in the present example-they provide a particularly vivid glimpse into the culture of literary appreciation in the Romantic era.<br /> <br /> A handsome and engaging survival: a finely bound and attractively illustrated nineteenth-century manuscript anthology celebrating the great poets of the English language.

156843Southern Netherlands Liège perhaps the middle of the 14th century. With a large miniature depicting the Wound in Christ's side A remarkable anthology of texts from the library of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Jacques Liège illuminated with one large miniature depicting the Wound in Christ's Side notable for its early date bound in the substantial remains of a medieval binding. It comprises four main parts the first with texts by Augustine Anselm and David of Augsburg; the second an ordo for giving communion to a sick monk; the third with prayers to the Virgin; and the fourth a miscellaneous collection of prayers devotions a miniature of the Wound of Christ and texts concerning the use of images. The volume contains one large miniature depicting the Wound in Christ's Side fol. 119v. The last few decades have seen an explosion of interest in medieval images of the Wound in Christ's Side. In most depictions of the Crucifixion the wound is shown as a horizontal laceration but when shown separate from Christ's body it is often depicted in close-up and vertically and this has led many scholars to read the image in other ways. As David S. Areford puts it "Although the mandorla-shaped wound suggested the presence of Christ's body and the totality of his suffering its fleshy form certainly encouraged other corporeal associations. In this regard several scholars have explored the erotic gendered and psychosexual aspects of these images interpreting the wound as a not-so-veiled substitute for the vulva or vagina". Images of the Wound in Christ's Side are often part of a series of images including his other wounds or are incorporated into larger ensembles such as the Arma Christi and are typically 15th-century so the present image is especially notable for its early date and for the fact that the Wound is the only image in the entire manuscript whose text concludes with two pieces discussing the use of images in religious devotion. The manuscript was written no earlier than the 1330s perhaps in northern France but more likely in the southern Netherlands and in view of the provenance in all likelihood at Liège. The involvement of an illuminator and several scribes some doing relatively short stints suggests collaboration within a monastic setting rather than production in a professional lay workshop. Provenance: 1 The Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Jacques Liège: inscribed with their ownership notes at least nine times in various forms including "Liber monasterii sancti Jacobi Leodiensis in insula" and with their shelf-mark "F. 57" fol. 1r. The presence of so many ownership inscriptions in any manuscript is extremely unusual and is perhaps explained by how small and potentially easy to steal this volume would be.
