8vo (170 x 220 mm). English manuscript on paper. 21 pp. on 12 ff. Title on first and repeated on final leaf. Original half calf with marbled covers. Title label to spine. A collection of ca. 55 formulas for various ointments, balms, cataplasms, electuaries, boluses, tinctures, and other kinds of medicines, with remarks on their usage and administration. Though written in the vernacular, the usage of Latin names for the components of the drugs and their complexity point to a professional audience of doctors and pharmacists. The manuscript is compiled from the 2nd edition of Henry Banyer's "Pharmacopoeia Pauperum" from 1721. Banyer (1690-1749) had studied at St Thomas' Hospital in London and practised as a physician at Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. On 30 July 1746 he was admitted extraordinary licentiate of the College of Surgeons. His "Pharmacopoeia Pauperum" was first published in London in 1718 and saw three re-editions until 1739. - Very slight foxing and some browning to the margins. Binding markedly worn. Removed from the Newport Reference Library with their bookplate to the front pastedown.

Hardcover, 160 pages , ENGLISH , 245 x 190 mm, NEW , dozens of coloured images, . ISBN 9780712354363. The idea of the book was central throughout the western European and the eastern Mediterranean world in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. From the beginning, the word for 'book'-sefer in Hebrew, biblia in Greek, and liber in Latin-was identified with sacred writings--the Holy Scriptures of Jews and Christians, who were known as 'people of the book'. The centrality of the book to medieval thought is reflected materially in the countless images of books that appear in the manuscripts of the era, be they in the most treasured, highly decorated, sacred texts or in devotional and secular works as well. In Penned & Painted, Lucy Freeman Sandler, one of one of the world's most respected authorities on medieval art, takes us on a personal but highly insightful exploration of some of the British Library's most precious manuscript holdings and describes the many uses and meanings of these 'books in books'. Through the fascinating face-to-face discovery of 60 manuscripts, she investigates the various types and forms of books as depicted in the era. How were they produced and what did they look like? What do they tell us of the lives and skills of the scribes and illuminators? What did these books record and signify? How were they displayed, consumed and how did some of these objects of supreme beauty even come to be wantonly destroyed? Penned & Painted is presented in full-colour throughout and includes a high number of images specially photographed for this volume.
Texte recueilli par Camille Sautet, un des 450 exemplaires non numérotés (après 50 numérotés), 1 vol. in-4 reliure pleine toile éditeur sous jaquette transparente, sous étui cartonné, collection "L'univers sensible", SNPMD, Paris, 1977, 110 pp. avec Pays de Bourgogne, 1 vol. in-8 br., 1979, pp. 353-417 Remarquable ensemble réunissant : un bel exemplaire de "Paysages" dédicacé par Henri Petit "Pour Michel Suffran, qui sait ma très vive sympathie et aussi ma reconnaissance" ; le numéro spécial d'hommage à Henri Petit publié par la revue "Pays de Bourgogne", accompagné d'une belle L.A.S. (2 pages) de Camille Sautet adressée à l'écrivain bordelais Michel Suffran : "Mon Cher docteur et ami, je vous adresse par le même courrier un exemplaire de la revue "Pays de Bourgogne" qui vient de paraître, où vous trouverez entre autres votre remarquable article "Frère de Silence" en hommage à Henri Petit. Quand je dis "remarquable", il ne s'agit pas d'un mot passe-partout [ ... ]mais de ce qui est proprement digne de retenir l'attention. Je regrette beaucoup que, comme me l'avait fait espérer Yves Leroux, vous n'ayez pas pu, en son temps, lors de la parution de "Paysages", donner à Henri Petit le bonheur de lire quelques pages de vous, de ce ton et de ce style [ ... ] nous nous retrouvons en certains mots : artisanal, race terrienne, contemplation... et je disais souvent que l'athée qu'il disait être avait une pensée et un coeur franciscain et une âme contemplative, parce que le croyant qu'il avait été jusqu'à l'âge de 13 ans cet enfant était toujours près de lui et le suivrait jusqu'au bout de la route. Madame Petit, que je viens de voir à Paris, a beaucoup apprécié et en particulier votre témoignage. Elle vous écrira sûrement" [ ... ]". Michel Suffran a écrit ces lignes sur l'enveloppe : "A la limite, ce n'est pas ce que nous proclamons et analysons qui importe le plus. Ce qui compte (et ce qui nous sera compté), c'est ce qui appartient à l'indicible, ce qui rayonne de nous à notre insu, et peut-être, contre notre consentement. Un andante de Mozart, un crépuscule de Watteau, un page de Nerval témoignent bien plus sûrement de Dieu en l'homme, que la plus ingénieuse des "démonstrations" métaphysiques". On joint la belle lettre autographe (prévue par Camille Sautet) signée par Madame Henri Petit, adressée à Michel Suffran : "Je viens vous remercier très sincèrement du bel article que vous avez consacré à mon mari. Vous dites à son propos des choses que personne n'a encore dites. Vous allez très loin. J'en suis, croyez moi, profondément touchée. Et c'est vrai (souligné). [ ... ]" Né à Avallon (Yonne), l'écrivain bourguignon Henri Petit (1900-1978) fut élève à Louis-le-Grand puis à la Sorbonne, où il rencontre Jean Grenier. Il publie son premier texte ("Vézelay") en 1927, et reçoit le Grand Prix de littérature de l'Académie Française en 1965. Français

4to (220 x 155 mm). Decorated Latin manuscript on vellum. i + 168 + i ff. (collation: 1-38, 47 [of 8, lacking i], 58, 67 [of 8, lacking viii], 7-128, 136, 14-178, 186, 191, 204, 21-228), with modern foliation in pencil. Central column of 20 lines in a late Carolingian hand, surrounding and interlinear gloss on ff. 1-139 in a minute script; no gloss on ff. 139v-152v; gloss on ff. 153-168v in a mid-13th-century hand. Ruled space 156 x 65 mm, versal initials alternately red and blue, running headers and rubrics in red, spaces left for decorated initials, remains of a large decorated initial in characteristic Limoges style of interlaced celtic design including a dragon and two eagles’ heads on fol. 1. Modern Romanesque imitation binding of dark red goatskin over wooden boards. A superb example of Limoges Romanesque manuscript production of the first half of the 12th century, written by Petrus del Casta for the Augustinian Abbey of St-Jean-de-Côle, containing one of the earliest surviving texts of the Glossa Ordinaria. - Petrus del Casta is known from the colophon in a Homilies on Ezechiel (ex Phillipps no. 934/2708, then Chester Beatty W MS 18, sold at Sotheby’s, 3 Dec. 1968, lot 4, to Maggs; subsequently Abbey Sale, 20 June 1978, lot 2976) and has been associated with at least three other splendid manuscripts of the period: the spectacular Limoges Missal (Paris, BnF, Mss. Latin 9438); a Bible at the Bibliothèque Mazarine (lat. I and II); and the Bible of Saint-Yrieix (Bibliothèque municipale de Saint-Yrieix, Ms. 1). According to Danielle Gaborit-Chopin, he may also have been an illuminator (see D. Gaborit, "Deux bibles limousines du début du XII siècle", Bulletin de la Société nationale des Antiquaires de France, 1970, pp. 197f.). - The Glossa Ordinaria was one of the great achievements of the early 12th century: a combination of the scriptural text interwoven with patristic and mediaeval commentaries used by students and teachers until the end of the Middle Ages, originally compiled under the direction of Anselm of Laon (d. 1117) and his brother Ralph, but gradually augmented over the decades that followed. This is therefore one of the earliest witnesses to the Glossa, found here in its unfinished state, extending throughout the Pauline Epistles, with the Canonical Epistles glossed in a contemporary but probably different hand as far as f. 138v and then stopping. - Contents: Pauline Epistles, glossed, ff. 1-131v (Rom f. 1, 1 Cor f. 25 [lacking opening], 2 Cor f. 47 [lacking opening], Gal f. 62v, Eph f. 70, Phil f. 78, Col f. 83v, 1 Thess f. 89, 2 Thess f. 94, 1 Tim f. 97, 2 Tim f. 103v, Tit f. 108v, Philem f. 111v, Heb f. 113); Catholic Epistles ff. 132-152v (James f. 132, 1 Pet f. 138v [lacking end], 2 Pet f. 140 [lacking beginning], 1 John f. 142, 2 John f. 148v, 3 John f. 149v, Jude f. 150v]; Apocalypse ff. 153-169v (lacking end). - Condition: first leaf fragmentary and opening leaves gnawed at edges, lacking leaves after ff. 24 and 46 with the opening of 1 Cor and 2 Cor, a gathering after f. 139, and a number of leaves at the end. Some wormholes, occasional marginal staining and natural flaws to the vellum, lower margin of f. 116 cropped without affecting text, else in good condition. - Provenance: this is one of an important group of manuscripts written in Limoges mainly by the scribe and illuminator Petrus del Casta for the Augustinian Abbey of St-Jean-de-Côle in Perigord, founded ca. 1083 by Raynaud, Bishop of Perigueux (1081-99).

110 SS., (4 w. Bll.). Lateinische Handschrift auf Papier (Abschrift). Interimsbroschur. Dreiseitiger Rotschnitt. 8vo. Zeitgenössische Abschrift der Apologie Kollárs, des großen slowakisch-ungarischen Historikers und Sprachgelehrten, der als aufklärerischer Berater Maria Theresias den Widerspruch des konservativen ungarischen Adels wie auch des Klerus hervorrief. In seiner Schrift "De originibus et usu perpetuo potestatis legislatoriae circa sacra apostolicorum regum Ungariae" ("Von den Anfängen und dem immerwährenden Gebrauche der gesetzgebenden Gewalt in geistlichen Dingen seitens der Apostolischen Könige Ungarns", 1764) verteidigte er das Recht der Habsburger, im ungarischen Teil des Reiches bindende Vorschriften in kirchlichen Dingen und sogar tiefgreifende Reformen zu erlassen, die für die magyarische Nobilität so Undenkbares wie das Ende der Leibeigenschaft, religiöse Toleranz und die Besteuerung des Adels umfassten. Nachdem das Werk zum "Bestseller" des Jahres wurde (Csizmadia, 6) und, kaum erschienen, Maria Theresia auf dem Landtag von 1764 in Verlegenheit brachte, wurde zur Beruhigung der Gemüter ein landesfürstliches Verbot für das Königreich Ungarn ausgesprochen (immerhin wurde das Buch schon 1769 unter "erga schedam" wieder freigegeben); der Vatikan setzte die schmale Abhandlung von 174 Seiten, die den Stein des Anstoßes gebildet hatte, auf den Index Librorum Prohibitorum (vgl. Reusch II, 945f.), wo sie bis zu dessen Abschaffung 1966 verblieb. Auf Wunsch des Hofes verfasste Kollár widerwillig noch im Juli 1764 eine Abbitte in Form einer oft fein ironischen Verteidigungsschrift, um die enragierten ungarischen Stände weiter zu besänftigen. "Der Reihe nach führt er die [...] beanstandeten Teile vor und ist bestrebt nachzuweisen, daß seine Behauptungen alle durch die ungarischen Gesetze unterstützt seien [...] Er ehre auch den Klerus, aber die Verehrung könne sich nicht so weit erstrecken, daß er die mit dem öffentlichen Wohl verwandte Göttin der Gerechtigkeit nicht noch mehr verehre oder gar verlasse. Wenn er also etwas gesagt hätte, das zu lesen und zu hören unangenehm ist, sei das auf das Konto der Gerechtigkeit und der Gesetze zu schreiben" (Csizmadia, 28f.). Obwohl die Apologie nicht gedruckt wurde, sind einige Abschriften bekannt, darunter in Budapest in der Széchenyi-Bibliothek und im Staatsarchiv sowie in der Bibliothek des Doms von Esztergom (vgl. ebda., Fußn. 77); die vorliegende ist von zeitgenössischer, sehr sauberer Schreiberhand ausgeführt.

Large folio (555 x 420 mm). Latin manuscript on vellum. 1 p. Exceedingly rare document from the third year of Eugene's papacy (1145-1153), concerning the Cistercian Abbey of Barzelle (Indre), with the Pope's rota, signature "Ego Eugenius catholice ecclie eps" (chancery), probably autograph subscription, and the valedictory Benevalete monogram. - Addressing the 1st Abbot of Barzelle named Foucher, Eugene places the monastery under his protection and confirms its rights and possessions, comprising the territory and forest of Barzelle and several smaller properties (pastures, manors, vineyards) along the river Nahon between Barzelle and Valençay: "Religiolorum locorum cura nos admonet de eorum pace arquibus utilitate sollicite cogitare. Nec dubio a siservorum dei petitionibus benigne concurrim clemente in nostris oportunitatibus dum repetimus. Ideoquibus dilecti in dno filii nostris justis postulationibus clementer annuim et Barzellacense monasterium inque divino mancipiati estis obsequio sub beati Perri et nostra protectione suspicimere presentis scripti privilegio comunimus. Statuentes ut quascumque possessiones quecumquibus bona inpresentiarum juste [...]". - Founded in 1137 as a filial house of the Le Landais Abbey, which went back to L'Aumône, the 7th filial house of Cîteaux Abbey, the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Barzelle never reached the size and significance to found filial abbeys of its own. The church of the monastery was not consecrated until 1219. - Born as Bernardo Pignatelli, or possibly Paganelli, in Pisa, Eugene III was the first of four Cistercian Popes and was heavily influenced by his friend and teacher Bernard of Clairvaux. Although Bernard initially condemned the election of Eugene, who came from humble origins and had never been a cardinal, he dominated the pontificate, which led to conflicts with the College of Cardinals. Most importantly, Bernard of Clairvaux played a central role in Eugene's announcement of the catastrophic Second Crusade in 1145 and its propagation. Almost for the entirety of his papacy Eugene III could not reside in Rome, due to the uprising led by Giordano Pierleoni in 1143 and the subsequent foundation of the Commune of Rome (1143-93), which renounced the temporal power of the Pope. Therefore, Eugene held synods in Paris, Reims, and Trier, mostly residing in various French cities, in Viterbo and in Tusculum. - Counter-signed by two cardinal-deacons, two cardinal-priests, and two bishops, including Alberic of Ostia (1080-1148) and Imar of Tusculum (d. 1161). First line in majuscules. With an authentication of the Papal Chancery to the lower margin. - Traces of folds. Some browning and somewhat stained. The original bulla (leaden seal) is missing. - A later copy of the bull on paper can be found in the departmental archive of Indre (H5). Full transcription on request.
