TM 656ILLUMINATED MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPT IN LATIN ON PARCHMENT Northern Italy c. 1440-1470. 203 x 153 mm. 70 folios complete collation i-vii10 remnants of quire and leaf signatures flourished vertical catchwords written in a humanist minuscule on 30 long lines justification 147-149 x 95-100 mm horizontal lines ruled very lightly in ink single vertical bounding lines ruled in lead prickings remain in top and bottom margins on some leaves rubrics and paragraph marks in pale red two-line red or blue initials with contrasting pen flourishes in violet or red two five-line blue initials ff. 29v and 35 infilled and on square grounds of elaborate penwork; f. 64v seven-line polished GOLD INITIAL with white vinestem decoration extending along twenty lines of text and into the upper margin infilled and edged in deep red and blue with numerous tiny silver dots; f. 1 five-line polished GOLD HISTORIATED INITIAL of St. Jerome bearded and dressed in red standing before a Crucifix with a hilly landscape in the background on a white vinestem ground extending into a FULL WHITE VINESTEM BORDER infilled and edged in deep red and blue with tiny silver dots and an erased coat of arms in lower margin with modern F.A. BINDING: Early almost certainly contemporary reddish-brown leather over wooden boards flat spine with three slightly raised bands head and tail bands clasp and catch fastening front to back with brass catch lettered ave front cover decorated most likely in the nineteenth century with an attractive painted border in green orange and gray connecting four brass studs and the title De laudibus et miraculis divi Hieronymi with initials F.C. at the bottom back pastedown is leaf from a late fourteenth-century Italian copy of Donatuss Latin grammar front pastedown shows offset script from removed pastedown from a fourteenth-century Italian text in Latin verse. TEXT: This manuscript is a vivid witness to the importance of St. Jerome in fifteenth-century Italy and includes the foundational texts for his cult: three letters regarding his death miracles and titles to glory and veneration and purporting to be written by three contemporaries of St. Jerome c. 347-420 namely St. Eusebius of Cremona d. 423 St. Augustine of Hippo 354-430 and Bishop Cyril of Jerusalem c. 313-386 but probably written in Rome at the end of the thirteenth or beginning of the fourteenth century; a life of St. Jerome by an unknown author probably writing in Italy in the twelth century; and Jeromes own life of St. Paul the Hermit written in 374 or 375. These texts were widely disseminated in both Latin and in vernacular translations and they influenced the work of numerous writers and visual artists. ILLUSTRATION: The iconographical choice in the historiated initial f. 1 to depict the ascetic Jerome contemplating the Crucifixion dates from c. 1400 in Italy and can be particularly associated with Hieronymite congregations in Tuscany. PROVENANCE: Copied in Northern Italy in the middle years of the fifteenth century as suggested by the evidence of the script and decoration; the penwork initials in particular seem to point to Northern Italy. The manuscript almost certainly once included the coat of arms of its original owner in the lower margin of the illuminated border on f. 1. Three sets of initials are inscribed in three different hands all possibly initials of owners: within the roundel on f. 1 a modern owner inscribed an outline of a shield in pen and the initials F.A.; inside front cover white embossed seal with the initials L.F.; on front cover as part of the added decoration F. C. CONDITION: Slight loss of the leather at the back top of the spine and over the lower band of the binding; top of the painted border on f. 1 is very slightly trimmed; f. 1 is darkened; and there is some soiling throughout but overall in very good condition.

1791WRCLIT65878London: Printed and Sold by R. Hindmarsh 1791. xv11431-991pp. Small octavo. Extracted from bound pamphlet volume. Early ink underscore of two lines in preface last leaf neatly detached early ink caption in upper margin of title "Swedenborgian" light foxing and smudging otherwise a very good copy. Denoted the "Fourth Edition." The earliest edition under this title recorded by the ESTC is the 1790 "third" edition and the last the 1797 "fifth" edition. All seem to be uncommon in institutions: 1 copy of the third edition is reported 2 copies of this edition none in North America and 3 of the fifth edition. Another "fourth edition" appeared in Baltimore in 1792. One is somewhat hard- pressed to account for the apparent scarcity of these early editions of the New Jerusalem Church Liturgy. ESTC T123152.
