ST16985NFrance first half of 14th century. 110 x 82 mm. 4 3/8 x 3 1/4". Single column 12 lines in a gothic book hand. <br/> Line enders in pink and blue with gold accents each leaf with one or more one-line initials in blue with red penwork or gold with blue penwork each leaf with one two line initial painted pink or blue filled with painted floral motifs and TWO INHABITED BY HUMAN FACES and on a gold ground one side of each leaf with A FULL BORDER composed of pink and blue tendrils accompanied by spikey gold decoration and gold accents often terminating in ivy leaves and incorporating EXTRAORDINARILY CHARMING EXAMPLES OF MARGINALIA INCLUDING ANIMALS HUMAN HEADS AND HUMAN-BEAST HYBRIDS. ◆Vellum a little soiled and with a few small stains one leaf with more obvious soiling varying degrees of smudging two leaves with more noticeable smudging affecting some of the text and decoration another leaf with two of the human heads slightly rubbed but all other examples of marginalia very well preserved and paint quite fresh and the gold sparkling.<br/> <br/> Though diminutive in size these leaves contain enormously appealing marginal decoration in the form of humans animals and hybrid creatures inventively incorporated into the lively borders in manners that range from adorable to bizarre. Especially popular in Flanders Northern France and England during the 13th and 14th centuries marginalia such as these comprise some of the most memorable and entertaining images to be found in any Medieval manuscripts. Despite being found largely in religious books such as Psalters and Books of Hours the images are often strange humorous or even outrageous and they provide us with consistent delight. Being by definition outside of the central text or miniature the margins seem to have been a place where illuminators felt more at ease to experiment resulting in highly imaginative and unique artistic expressions. The present specimens come from a fragmentary manuscript with many leaves either missing or rendered defective where portions of the vellum were cut away. Fortunately this group of leaves is intact and retains much marvelous imagery including several animals a dog a bird a squirrel and a large hare human and bestial heads capping the ends of border tendrils many with a memorable detail such as a bushy beard a massive gold horn or wearing a tall pointy hat including the torso of a person holding a long antler-like club and colorful human-beast hybrids. A couple of these leaves also have initials inhabited by charming little human faces. For additional leaves from this same manuscript at different price points please check our website. unknown

1440ST12158bAParis ca. 1440. 222 x 162 mm. 8 3/4 x 6 3/8". Single column 16 lines of text in a beautiful gothic book hand. <br/> Rubrics in red leaves with varying numbers of line fillers and one- and two-line initials in burnished gold blue and magenta highlighted with white tracery and WITH LOVELY RINCEAU BORDERS on one or both sides these composed of delicately twining hairline stems bearing red and blue blossoms and FEATURING A PROFUSION OF BURNISHED GOLD IVY LEAVES. IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION the vellum extraordinarily bright fresh and clean and WITH MARGINS AS VAST AS ONE COULD EVER HOPE FOR.<br/> <br/> Commissioned for use by a woman as indicated by the feminine form in the "Obsecro te" the Book of Hours from which these leaves come could only have been a manuscript of great beauty prepared for a household of very substantial wealth and importance. The level of achievement manifested here in both the scribal hand and the execution of the illuminated decoration clearly indicates that some of the best artisans money could buy were at work on this book and only a powerful family could afford to pay their price. Further corroboration of this fact is seen in the leaves' noticeable size and immense margins which are at least as wide as on any Book of Hours leaves we have ever owned. Such a conspicuous display of purchasing power those extra millimeters meant the slaughtering of extra animals and that meant greater cost announces an owner's self-congratulatory consequence that is uncommon except in the grandest of prayer books of the period. Happily the condition here matches the importance of the manuscript which was obviously considered from the beginning--and ever after--an object to be carefully preserved.
