10th-century Carolingian manuscript leaf - Exorcism and Blessing of Water

007112Upper Rhine region probably Alemannic Germany or northern Switzerland 1000. No Binding. Good. Single parchment leaf recto and verso 245 x 182 mm written in a fine mature Caroline minuscule in dark brown ink 29 lines per page single column. Rubrics in red; simple pen-flourished initials in red and blue marking textual divisions. Pricklings and ruling faintly visible. The text comprises the Exorcism and Blessing of Water Exorcismus aquae with extended invocations against unclean spirits and prayers for purification healing and protection. These texts form part of the Roman ritual tradition as transmitted in Germanic regions during the 10th century and are characteristic of Rituals or Sacramentaries rather than Missals or biblical codices. The hand is confident and regular with well-proportioned Caroline letterforms and consistent word separation. Decoration is restrained and functional reflecting a working liturgical manuscript produced for clerical rather than a luxury commission. Palaeographical and textual features point to production in the Alemannic sphere of the Upper Rhine an area renowned for conservative preservation of Carolingian liturgical practice. In good bur well-used medieval condition. The parchment is supple but heavily toned at margins with cockling and surface wear consistent with prolonged liturgical handling. There are tears at binding edge with evidence of modern tape repair. Occasional later marginal notations present. Ink and decoration remain clear and legible. Early litugical manuscripts of this early date are increasingly scarce on the market. Leaves containing exorcistic and ritual texts are especially sought after for their historical and theological interest offering insights into early medieval concepts of sanctification healing and spiritual protection.

15th century Psalter Leaf with Abundance of Scribal Corrections

145013201450. Very Good. Leaf from Psalter likely Low Countries early 15th century. Single leaf on parchment 210 x 150 mm; text block 130 x 100mm 16 lines in Latin of Gothic textualis in somewhat browned ink. Employs decorative hairlines crossed tironian et bifurcations on ascenders Two 2-line initials in blue with red penwork decoration and gold with dark blue penwork decoration. Twenty single-line initials in alternating shell gold with blue penwork decoration and dark blue with red penwork decoration. Six line fillers in blue and shell gold. Rubricated psalm-section beginnings. Multiple corrections from a second still- contemporary campaign in darker black ink including signe-de-renvoi palimsests/strikethrough and interlinear insertion. The scribe of this mansucript produced a very technically proficient product-- the letters have decorative hairlines thorns bifurcations and feet. Each line begins with an illuminated initial richly decorated by ornate penstrokes. Every indication that this manuscript was a high-end production. However another hand in a darker ink with a less formal script has had to come through and make multiple significant corrections. On the third line of the recto we see the use of a signe-de-renvoi similar to our modern footnotes-- a symbol next to the line corresponds with a in the top margin adding in an entire line of text that the original scribe skipped. Throughout we see the use of 'carrot' symbols inserting a word or two that our scribe omitted between the lines-- this correcting hand has gone into the margins on the verso to add possessive pronouns. We also see three examples of palimsets the scraping off of words to create blank parchment on the verso two of which the corrector has emphatically struck through to ensure the correction is registered. It's impossible to know if this single leaf happens to be where an otherwise competent scribe lost focus or if it represents an illiterate scribe essentially blind-copying to the best of their ability without comprehension. Either way it's a remarkable moment of human error demonstrating the difficulty of producing a handwritten work of several hundred pages and the indvidual labouring behind the scenes. unknown
