Catalogue of Western Book Illumination in the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Cambridge Colleges. Part Three: France: Volume One: c. 1000 - c. 1250

Hardcover with dusjacket, 296 p., 382 colour ill., 230 x 330 mm, 2015 Languages: English. ISBN 9781909400375. This volume contains an impressive range of texts, from Horace (Cat. 17) and Ovid (Cat. 61) to the earliest known copy of the Collectio Lanfranci (Cat. 5) and Gerard of Cremona?s translations of Rasis? works (Cat. 93). The bulk, however, consists of Bibles of two kinds: imposing glossed books, produced in great numbers in the twelfth-century, and their thirteenth-century successors, the compact pandects. Both categories include some of the most richly illuminated French manuscripts of the period. Among the former are two deluxe sets made for Thomas Becket, the first completed while he was in exile in Pontigny and Sens from 1164 until 1170 (Cat. 27-31), the second edited after his martyrdom by his secretary Herbert of Bosham (Cat. 32-34). The majority of the thirteenth-century Bibles are so-called ?Paris? or ?pocket? Bibles produced from the 1220s onwards, mostly in Paris, and containing the biblical books in a standard order. They are illuminated in a variety of figure and ornamental styles, some comparable to the Bibles moralisees of c.1220-1240 (e.g. Cat. 72), others bearing no resemblance to them (e.g. Cat. 73). There are also notable exceptions of complete Bibles made not in Paris, but in North-Eastern France or Champagne (e.g. Cat. 70), and displaying iconography, figure styles and order of books different from those found in their better-known Parisian contemporaries. We hope that the inclusion of numerous images in full colour representing Bibles illuminated in all of these different styles will inspire and support further research, especially on the ornamental initials which deserve more attention. While this volume contains outstanding examples of illumination, notably the work of the itinerant Simon Master (Cat. 46), it also includes books that are modest in artistic terms, but valuable in other ways. Among them is a glossed Ezekiel which boasts one of the finest Romanesque bindings to survive in Cambridge collections, made almost certainly in Paris c.1160-1170 (Cat. 41). Other aesthetically unassuming volumes form important groups of material, for instance, the books assembled by Master Robert Amiclas during his forty years in France and given or sold by him to the Cistercian Abbey of Buildwas in Shropshire (Cat. 20-26, 37).

Manuscrits enlumines des anciens Pays-Bas meridionaux, Manuscrits de Louis de Bruges

Hardback, 280 p., 460 b/w ill., 210 x 300 mm, ISBN: 978-2-7177-2396-0 Languages: French . ISBN 9782717723960. At the court of Burgundy, Louis of Bruges was one of the most remarkable bibliophiles of the 15th century. The majority of his collection consists of secular volumes written in French. Copiously illustrated and in large format, the books often deal with classical history and chronicles, and form a homogeneous artistic corpus, created for the most part in Bruges by selected artists. This volume presents, for the first time, Louis of Bruges' corpus of manuscripts in a format that allows for comparisons with contemporary works. Introduced by a synthetic overview, the catalogue contains descriptions grouped by artist, supplemented by some 460 illustrations. French text. A la cour de Bourgogne, Louis de Bruges fut ? apres Philippe le Bon ? le plus remarquable bibliophile du XVe siecle. Ce personnage joua un role politique de premier plan jusqu?a sa mort survenue en 1492, et sa bibliotheque revint a Louis XII. La plupart des volumes sont profanes et de langue francaise ; abondamment illustres et de tres grand format ils se rapportent souvent a l?histoire antique et aux chroniques. Ce sont 75 titres repartis en plus de 110 volumes. Ces manuscrits forment un corpus artistique homogene, puisqu?ils sont principalement produits a Bruges, plus rarement a Anvers ou a Gand, par des artistes choisis. Si certains sont identifies (Guillaume Vrelant, Loyset Liedet, Jean Hennecart ou Lieven van Lathem), beaucoup restent anonymes malgre la qualite de leur art. Certains voient ici leur corpus defini pour la premiere fois par comparaison avec des manuscrits conserves dans d?autres bibliotheques. Les notices, regroupees par artiste, sont precedees d?une presentation synthetique faisant le point sur chacun d?eux. Bati sur des descriptions methodiques et rigoureuses, ce catalogue possede aussi une dimension monographique et propose un vaste panorama de l?enluminure flamande appuye sur quelque 460 illustrations.

Form and content of instruction in Anglo-Saxon England in the light of contemporary manuscript evidence Papers presented at the International Conference, Udine, 6-8 April 2006

Hardcover. XIII 546 p., 2 b/w ill. 4 colour ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503525910. The essays collected in this volume focus on a prominent aspect of Anglo-Saxon culture: educational texts and the Insular manuscripts which have preserved them. The English imported manuscripts and texts from the Continent, whilst a series of foreign masters, from Theodore of Tarsus to Abbo of Fleury, brought with them knowledge of works which were being studied in Continental schools. Although monastic education played a leading role for the entire Anglo-Saxon period, it was in the second half of the tenth and early eleventh centuries that it reached its zenith, with its renewed importance and the presence of energetic masters such as AEthelwold and AElfric. The indebtedness to Continental programs of study is evident at each step, beginning with the Disticha Catonis. Nevertheless, a number of texts initially designed for a Latin-speaking milieu appear to have been abandoned (for instance in the field of grammar) in favour of new teaching tools. Besides texts which were part of the standard curriculum, Anglo-Saxon manuscripts provide abundant evidence of other learning and teaching instruments, in particular those for a specialized class of laymen, the Old English laece, the healer or physician. Medicine occupies a relevant place in the book production of late Anglo-Saxon England and, in this field too, knowledge from very far afield was preserved and reshaped. All these essays, many by leading scholars in the various fields, explore these issues by analysing the actual manuscripts, their layout and contents. They show how miscellaneous collections of treatises in medieval codices had an internal logic, and highlight how crucial manuscripts are to the study of medieval culture.

Otto, Sigismund (ed.).MareMagnum

[Medical manuscript]. Artznei Buch. 1590. Opusculum non magnarum, sed necessarium rerum per Sigismundum Otthonem collectum. [Germany], 1590.

4to (175 x 202 mm). German manuscript in brown ink with red underlinings on paper by two hands. Title, 356, (16) pp., of which 162 written. The final 8 leaves with an index added later, probably mid-18th century. Contemporary vellum with ms. title to spine. A wide-ranging compilation of medicinal recipes and treatments for a great variety of ailments, certainly drawing on various medical and pharmacological texts, although only one specific reference is made, namely to Melchior Sebisch's 1580 translation of Charles Estienne's agricultural treatise "L'agriculture et maison rustique" (Paris 1564). A medicine for the treatment of aphasia following a stroke ("Wann einen Menschen der Schlag gerühret und sprachlos liegt") is said to have been successfully used to treat Paul von Gröbel, princely hunter of Christian I of Saxony in the 2nd half of the 16th century (p. 11). The third personal mention in the manuscript, a "Doctor Longobart", who lends his name to a powder with several cold-related applications, seems to be folkloristic. - Many recipes are organized by illnesses or conditions like toothaches and gum disease, sleeplessness, epidemics affecting children and old people ("Zu heilen die schweren Seuch in Kindern und alten Leuten"), the plague ("In Zeit der Pest"); others stand for themselves like a miraculous rejuvenation tonic ("Ein wunderbarlich gleichsam göttliches und heimliches Wasser zumachen, welches alle alte verlebte Läuthe Verjüngen", p. 41), a "delicious stomach and chest powder" (p. 46 f.), or a tonic named after Emperor Charles ("Keyser Carll Kraftwasser", p. 47 f.). On pp. 83-105 follows an unrelated copy of a short treatise on gold ore with a description of locations for gold panning in Bohemia. The title suggests that the text on "finding gold mountains and gold washing locations" had been sent by a Venetian named Gratianus Gündell to Jacob Schaden of St. Gallen in 1530 or 1560. Among the locations indicated are: "Frauenstein bey Freyberg [...] Das rothe Wetterhaus [...] Der Eisenberg im Böhmen [...] Brun in Böhmen [...] Radebergh [...] Neunmarck [...] Gera und Weida [...] Weidenstein [...] Hammerberg [...] Schnegrube [...]". Further recipes listed are a remedy for nose bleeds ("Wieder das Bluten aus der Nasen", p. 149) and a cure for worms in children and old people ("Für die Würme der Kinder und alten Leutt", p. 237). The curious final pages present advice on how to tell the age of a horse ("Wie man das Alter eines Pferdes erkennen soll", pp. 335-337) with reference to Melchior Sebisch's 1580 publication, an alchemistic "piece" that had supposedly been commissioned by a member of the Bohemian Rosenberg family (p. 340 f.), three spells to stop a fire, including one that demands a shirt that has been worn by a virgin when she had her first period ("ein Hemdt, so eine Jungfrau ahn ihrem Leib getragen, so sie erstmals ihre Zeit bekam") and that is "used by all gypsies and is reliable" (p. 347 f.), a method for turning red roses partly white and instructions on how to keep beer from going stale due to contaminated kegs. - Covers somewhat soiled and warped. Some foxing and browning throughout; occasional collector's notes in pencil. A fine survival.

Renaissance Manuscripts: The Sixteenth Century

Hardcovers with dusjackets, 2 vol., 721 p., 321 b/w ill. + 55 colour ill., 230 x 330 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9781872501307. This publication is the first comprehensive survey to establish the importance of Renaissance manuscript illumination in the history of sixteenth-century French art. Although illustrated printed books were circulating freely by the beginning of the sixteenth century, patronage of manuscripts became all the more special to the ruling elite, and commissions from the court, aristocratic circles and the higher clergy resulted in a surge of artistic creativity that produced a wide range of outstanding illustrated works from devotional books to translations of classical and humanistic texts. While continuing the tradition of French figurative art, ornamentation became a major element in the style of the period, with frames and borders becoming a significant feature of the aesthetic impact of the illuminated page. One hundred manuscripts have been chosen for this survey to represent the artistic excellence of French book production of the period, as well as to demonstrate the stylistic relationships between artists and between books that may be seen to form distinct groups. Many years of research enabled the author to identify the hands of individual illuminators, both named and anonymous, and to connect these to a particular artistic milieu or regional group. Moreover, not only are the stylistic aspects of the manuscripts analysed, but entirely new information regarding authorship, patronage and historical context are revealed here of hitherto unstudied material. The author, Myra Orth, completed her catalogue and introductory texts shortly before her sad death some years ago. Since that time, a number of scholars ? specialists in French manuscripts studies of the period ? have helped to update the literature that has more recently appeared relating to the manuscripts catalogued and to the individual artists and workshops discussed. Present locations of manuscripts that may have changed ownership since Dr Orth?s submission of her work have also been noted. To accompany the detailed catalogue, the publication includes a corpus of 360 illustrations that offers a significant visual conspectus of manuscript illumination of the period. In addition to the introductory text, the author also provides brief biographies of Artists and Scribes, Authors and Translators, and Patrons and Dedicatees Survey of Manuscripts Illuminated in France (HMMSF 4)
