Preparations began in 1591 for a new edition of the Vulgate printed in 1592 and known as the Clementine Bible which long remained the standard Vulgate text.<br /> <br /> As often e.g. the Brooker copy this copy without the preface the Bull of Sixtus declaring the text to be immutable and forbidding any reprint without papal permission.

Edited by Johann Kusthuert this printing of the Epistles of Paul was intended for the student market with the introduction addressed to studiosis sacarum litterarum tyronibus. In addition the colophon reads: Impressum ad altissimi Dei laudem ac studiosorum Sacre Scripture tyronum perfectum in officina libraria prouidi viri Vuolffgangi Stockel ciuis Liptzensis anno Domini 1510 quarto kalendis Septembris.<br /> <br /> The annotations and marginal gloss are impressive and very similar though in a different hand to the copy described by Rosenthal now at the Beinecke suggesting they are by a student at the same institution: "The present copy comes with a vast manuscript apparatus in Latin covering the entire text from St. Jerome's general preface to the last sentence of the last epistle. The annotation . is uniformly intense throughout. The script is a very small at times microscopic Germanic cursive and there is evidence of careful layout especially in the marginal gloss." Estimating the annotations to be approximately 80000 words Rosenthal describes the interlinear notes as "frequently far more than simole reading aids." He continues: "The marginal gloss includes an argumentum for each chapter and its subdivisions . There are also occasional citations from authorities such as St. Thomas and Ambrose."<br /> <br /> It is a handsomely printed volume with the title in large red letters above an 11-line subtitle in black. The verso of the title comprises a table of contents of the Pauline epistles and is followed by an introduction by Kusthuert.<br /> <br /> On the duplicates sold by the Munich royal library including the present volume see: Wagner Bettina.

Our manuscript contains a total of 41 large and small miniatures by a skilled artist who clearly had some training and familiarity with the prevailing styles of the time. The overall appearance of the work suggests the artist or workshop was located in Northern France and although the figures and backgrounds are indicative of a provincial hand the rich colors profuse use of liquid gold and sumptuous borders are unmistakable marks of luxury. The image of the Trinity is particularly lovely demanding the viewer's attention with God the Father's piercing gaze and conveying the majesty of the subject with a patterned throne set against a starry sky. Of special interest here are the compositions of the large miniatures many of which seem to have been copied from printed Books of Hours of the period. When we talk about the transition from manuscripts to print culture in the late-15th and 16th centuries the discussion often focuses on how the art of manuscripts influenced the appearance of printed works. There is no better example than Books of Hours which in printed editions often mimic the look of their manuscript predecessors in appearance and the way many were finished by hand. However as the present example demonstrates the opposite was also true as printed works inevitably made their way into the hands of manuscript artists. Some even worked simultaneously both as illustrators for publishers working with metal- and woodcuts and as manuscript painters. As a reflection of this point in the present work we find distinct similarities between our miniatures and a series of metalcuts used by Philippe Pigouchet for the publisher Simon Vostre beginning in 1496 Fairfax-Murray's set 2. According to Fairfax-Murray "These cuts . . . were evidently very favourably received by Pigouchet's rivals and imitators for one finds several close copies and adaptations in the various productions of other presses" including a very close imitation of woodcut images commissioned by the publisher Antoine Vérard. Evidently the popularity of these plates extended to manuscript artists and it is fascinating to see the adaptation of each composition to suit the painter's own style and the patron's needs. Most of the compositions in our manuscript are essentially simplified versions of the printed miniatures retaining the central figures their gestures garments and props but with complex backgrounds eschewed as are extra figures deemed unnecessary to fulfill the narrative. The resulting miniatures are far less busy than their printed counterparts allowing the viewer to focus on the central story. In a few instances the artist has added small scenes beneath the large miniatures. An example on f. 35 depicts the so-called "Miracle of the Wheat" featuring harvesters misleading Herod's soldiers by truthfully saying that the fleeing Holy Family passed by when their now miraculously matured crop was just being sown. This kind of inclusion may have been influenced by the copious small metalcut scenes that decorate the borders of numerous printed Books of Hours of this period. The text here follows a fairly typical structure but includes prayers in French to be said for each day of the week and on various occasions such as when one awakens or when one leaves a house. Also in French are additional verses to the Virgin--one of which is credited to the Franciscan preacher Jean Tisserand d. 1497 who founded an order for repentant women. Another accessory prayer included here f. 98 appeared in both prayer books and conjuring manuals of the period straddling the line between religion and popular magic. Based on an apocryphal encounter between Pope Leo III and Charlemagne during the Battle of Roncevaux this prayer was often used as a protective amulet against all manner of evil; here it is said to "conquer demons and one's enemies." Although we do not know for whom this manuscript was originally made the book shows a number of marginal customizations in the form of different coats of arms the motto "Soit avenu" "Let it come to pass" and the name of Jean Boutin written on ff. 23 and 35. This owner could have been Jean Boutin Sieur de la Court et de Chamballan and Mayor of Nantes from 1575-76. In addition to the marginal customizations the manuscript may possibly have some very neat replenishing of white facial paint in a handful of marginal figures and perhaps in a very small number of the miniatures. Using magnification and strong light we are unable to find convincing evidence that this retouching took place at least in the miniatures and if it was we think it was done quite early perhaps in the 16th century. Worst case it would necessarily be termed subtle and skillful enough to cause uncertainty now and whatever the verdict is in this respect the manuscript remains very fresh and attractive features attractively executed paintings is complete but for one leaf and would provide ample room for additional research. unknown
