1921BIBLIO-18797Trustees of the British Museum London first edition 1921. 4 vols cloth 41 x 32 cm. xliv 360 vii 402 ix 384 xl pp 125 plates. . A contemporary review by Reginald L. Poole praises: ".the four stately volumes in large quarto now before us. No catalogue of any great library has ever been attempted on such a scale and certainly none can rival it in the completeness of its scholarship or the perfection of its work in detail. .The technical finish of the book is incomparable and the printers have co-operated in making it a splendid production. It is printed with wonderful accuracy in a noble type; the paper is excellent and the volumes are uncommonly easy to use. The catalogue of the Royal manuscripts occupies the first two volumes. The third contains a description of the King's manuscripts ; this collection inconveniently named forms part of the fine library of George III which was presented to the nation by George IV. That library is famous for its printed books but the 446 manuscripts in it comprise few of remarkable interest. Most of the volume is taken up by two indexes which call for special admiration. The general index is drawn up with extraordinary completeness. .The second index is of initia or incipits in various languages. The compilers say that ' the Royal collection includes so much of the common stock of a medieval library that the Latin index will it is hoped be found useful by many who may wish to identify unnamed treatises'. This is too modest an aspiration : the index covers so much longer a range of centuries than those of Vattasso and Little that it must at once rank as an indispensable work of reference for students of manuscripts. The fourth volume consists of a series of 125 plates giving beautifully reproduced facsimiles from 144 manuscripts of which two-thirds were written or probably written in England.The volume is an important contribution to palaeography.". From the introduction to the work: "The volume of plates fortunately prepared before the war forms a special feature of the Catalogue which it is hoped will be welcome both to palaeographers and to students of art. The 125 plates include representations of 99 manuscripts written or probably written in England and since nearly 50 of these are illuminated they serve to give a good idea of English mediaeval art the great merits of which are often ignored. French art which alone can rival it is well though not fully represented by 26 plates of which 24 are illuminated : Flemish and Italian work are less adequately represented. Four plates are devoted to handwritings of the 16th and 17th centuries and two to examples of the autographs of well-known scholars. A chronological table enables the student to follow the course of palaeographical and artistic development. A set formerly owned by C H St John Hornby founder of the Ashendene Press and noted collector of manuscripts with his red and black bookplate on the front pastedown endpapers. Some pencil notes to margins. Some mild rubbing to the cloth and the plate volume is a little shaken offsetting to endpapers otherwise a Very Good set with an excellent provenance.

Faux vellum paper boards gilt lettering on spine; 2nd - 13.5 x 17 in. 222 pp of colour photo facsimile reproducing the entire manuscript. Quarter-vellum over embroidered Bohemian folk pattern cloth covers w/ original mylar protective cover ever-so-slight fraying in a couple fore-edges still NF/NF set preserved in original clamshell slipcase gilt lettering on spine hinges starting at foot of spine. Striking facsimile edition of the sumptuous Romanesque Codex of Vysehrad commissioned as one of four manuscripts produced by the same artists between 1080 and 1085 around the time of the coronation of Vratislav II 1061-1092 first king of Bohemia and includes the lection for the king’s coronation. They all probably originated in the scriptorium at the Monastery of St. Emmeram and this manuscript was declared a National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic. The extensive cycle of images carefully rendered and detailed draw from the Regensburg School and Ottonian influences with a Christ’s genealogy on four divided pages. Within the 108 folios there are 26 pages depicting the gospels four of the Old Testament and 29 scenes from the life of Christ with large decorated illuminated initials. Originally the property of the Church of Vysehrad many scholars believe it was originally prepared for St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague Castle and Vratislav II had secured his title after negotiations with Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV at the time in conflict with Pope Gregory VII as he continued insisting on the retaining the Slavonic liturgy and wanted to appoint his own bishops.
