Levinus Lemnius was a celebrated Dutch physician whose medical writings were much translated. He studied under the famous Swiss botanist and bibliographer Konrad Gesner at the University of Louvain and under the famous Flemish anatomist Andreas Vesalius at the University of Padua.

1587ABC_48453Antwerp: Christoffel Plantin 1587. Contemporary elaborately blind-tooled pigskin over bevelled wooden boards sewn on 4 double supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the manuscript title in the first compartment and the original manuscript shelf mark label "H.36" of the Monastery of Buxheim in the fifth compartment both boards with an ornamental roll and a roll with the portraits of Salvater sic! Maria S. Bruno and S. Johannes in a panel design two original brass clasps and catches ornamented with a small star leather tabs and six original bookmarkers plaited into a big knot. 8vo. With a woodcut vignette with Peter and Paul by Peeter van der Borcht on the title page 6 full-page woodcuts ca. 112 x 75 mm by Antoon van Leest after Peeter van der Borcht 6 half-page square woodcuts 55 x 55 mm in border one signed by Antoon van Leest one woodcut 90 x 76 mm by Antoon van Leest after Peeter van der Borcht and 2 smaller oval woodcuts. The work is printed in red and black. Plantin edition of the revised Roman Missal following the directives of the Council of Trent first published in Rome in 1570 by order of pope Pius V 1504-1572 and later approved by Clemens VIII 1536-1605 and Urbanus VIII 1568-1644. The work was quite popular as Plantin published a new missal nearly every year from 1571 onwards. All editions were printed in different sizes and in two issues one with woodcut illustrations and one with engravings. The present copy is the octavo edition with woodcut illustrations and comes from the library of the famous Carthusian monastery of Buxheim Maria Saal near Memmingen Bavaria.The monstery of Buxheim was founded in 1402 and dissolved after the secularisation in 1803. The rich library was auctioned in 1883 by Förster and in 1884 by Ludwig Rosenthal in Munich. The Museum of the Charterhouse Buxheim today is actively studying the history of the library and the present location of its books and manuscripts. The present copy is bound in contemporary pigskin which was likely bound for the monastery itself as the rolls depict Saint Bruno who was the founder of the Carthusian order. The Missal is therefore probably bound in a South-German bindery in the surroundings of the monastery.With an ownership annotation on the title page "Cartusiae Buxheim". The binding is somewhat rubbed and soiled. The leaves are lightly browned some of the leaves are slightly stained especially around the leather tabs. Otherwise in good condition.l Belg.

Novum Testamentum illustratum insignium rerum simulacris The New Testament Illustrated with Remarkable Figures THE FIRST BIBLE ILLUSTRATED in the RENAISSANCE STYLE in FRANCE

154049324Paris: F. Gryphius 1540. Two parts in one volume 16mo in 8s. 199 1 blank; 136 16 indexff. "Novvm testamentum" in cartouche vignette at title-page along with Gryphius' griffin device Renouard 413; 90 three-quarter page including repeats and 15 smaller woodcut illustrations including repeats; 21 historiated initials and woodcut lettrines; cartouche vignettes with book titles; printed marginalia; half-title for the second part Epistles and the Book of Revelation. Text not divided into verses; occasional quotations in Greek. Later vellum over boards; manuscript title at the spine faded; speckled paper endleaves; edges stained red. Light dampstain at bottom margins extending up into text and gutter at the later leaves; small puncture at leaf 140 resulting in slight loss of text. A good complete copy of a very scarce illustrated New Testament with clean woodcut illustrations throughout. Collation: a-z8 &8 Aa8 A-T7 blank leaf 200; lacks final blank T8. Third Gryphius New Testament in 16mo format. Arranged in two parts with the Epistles and the Book of Revelation presented separately it reproduces the Vulgate text edited by Robert I Estienne for his Latin Bible edition of 1532. While some of the woodcuts appear in Gryphius' complete octavo Bible of 1541 this separate Testament is even more lavishly illustrated. Based upon Mortimer's description of the 1541 Bible we can ascertain that at least some of the Apocalypse woodcuts in the present volume are based on Holbein while most of the other illustrations whose blocks had been completed by 1539 "are relatively independent of earlier sets" Mortimer. An important shift in Bible illustration occured in the Netherlands in the late 1520s as printers began to focus on copiously illustrated small format editions of the New Testament to better explain the text and assist private devotion. The subtitle in our volume "cum ad ueritatem historiae tum ad uenustatem singulari artificio expressis" with the truth of history as well as beauty expressed by a singular artifice is clearly suggestive of this shift. Adopting this new format François Gryphius became the "first Paris printer to illustrate a Bible in the Renaissance style" Johnson quoted in Mortimer. These illustrations first appeared in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation in Gryphius' pocket New Testament edition of 1537 Novum Testamentum additis picturis in Acta Apost. et Apocalipsin quibus miracula et visiones exprimuntur The New Testament with added illustrations in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation depicting miracles and visions. Subsequent editions would include an expanding suite of woodcuts and were published at Paris by Gryphius under the present title in 1539 1540 1541 and 1542; Antwerp editions appeared in 1542 and 1545. The suite of illustrations in the present work is identical in placement and inventory with the data cited by Mortimer for the 1541 edition 90 cuts by repetition of 58 blocks from the larger set and 15 cuts by repetition of 6 small blocks and confirmed by inspection of the digitized version of the 1541 edition at the Bibliothèque de la Ville de Lyon. The only notable differences in graphic materials between the two editions appears occasionally in the selection of woodcut initials; the later edition also has several more unset initials indicated by guide letters than appear in our 1540 edition. All editions are quite scarce with only a handful of copies of each surviving. Provenance and annotations: Old entries at paste-down and front endleaf of George Woodhouse with his note about prior provenance dated May 1875; E. Holwell noting "This curious edition published in A.D. 1540" References: Cf. Deleveau & Hillard Bibles imprimées Paris 1539 and 1542; Antwerp 1542; Le Long/Masch 2.3 1783 p.279 Paris ed. 1542; R.

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
