Ɵ Three cuttings from an exceptionally early manuscript of Paul the Deacon's Homiliary, in Latin, on parchment [Rhineland, late eighth or early ninth century] Two near complete leaves (each trimmed at head or foot with loss of a line or so there) and another cutting of a single column (again trimmed at foot with similar loss), these bound in slightly erratic order (should be in order leaf 1+3 [with consecutive text and probably once a bifolium], followed by leaf 2), ruled in blind for a single column of up to 22 lines in a splendid early Carolingian minuscule, using the et-ligature integrally within words, an nt-ligature, dotted 'y' and both open and closed 'g', first leaf with a single red rubric and a simple penwork initial of red designs over brown grounds, the second cutting with an apparent gathering letter 'h' at the foot of its verso, a few words on first leaf copied over by later hand, all recovered from a later binding and hence with pentrials and scrawls, scuffs, tears and losses to edges, folds and small stains, overall in presentable condition, 220 by 190mm., 190 by 182mm. and 219 by 95mm.; together in cloth-covered binding This text is one of the fundamental building blocks of the Carolingian renaissance, as important as the tours bible or the Carolingian glossed psalter, and these leaves offered here are the earliest recorded examples, perhaps written during the lifetime of the author and almost certainly within the lifetime of Charlemagne Provenance: 1. Written in a Rhineland scriptorium (identification by Bischoff, his letter to Rosenthal of 22 July 1988 included), by a scribe apparently working at the dawn of the Carolingian script revolution (see below). Later reused in a binding.2. Bernard Rosenthal (1920-2017) of California, his I/248 and I/249.3. Quaritch cat. 1088 (1988), no. 1, sold to Martin Schøyen (his MS. 83) and thereafter kept in his London library. Text: The Homiliary of Paul the Deacon (c. 720-99; also known as Paul Warnefrid) formed an important part of the revival of Christian learning under Charlemagne from the 780s onwards. This 'renovatio' was a process driven by books and reading, and thus careful correction and compilation was needed to enable the European populace to correctly follow the Christian path. The Admonitio generalis of 789 called for the careful correction of the Psalms, the songs, the Calendar and the Catholic books, 'because often some desire to pray to God properly, but they pray badly because of faulty books', and the Bible came into a stable form under Alcuin in Tours and was disseminated from there with the support and backing of the Carolingian court. However, while these were correction campaigns, the work of Paul the Deacon was different and far greater in scope - an attempt to compile a homiliary that would replace the clutter of previous efforts (for comment on these see our sale, 7 December 2021, lot 14). Its scope was grand and stemmed from Charlemagne himself, who commended Paul in a letter for the task of having 'read through the treatises and sermons of the various Catholic Fathers, culled all the best things and offered us two volumes of readings, suitable for each separate festival throughout the whole course of the year and free from errors'. It was of fundamental importance to the Carolingian renaissance, and remained so for much of the Middle Ages.These leaves are the earliest recorded witness to this crucial text, perhaps even written within the lifetime of the compiler, and almost certainly during the lifetime of Charlemagne and the intellectual hustle and bustle of the early Carolingian revival. The most recent and comprehensive study of the text is that of Z. Guiliano, The Homiliary of Paul the Deacon, 2021, where he lists some twenty seven codices definitively of the ninth century, and a further nineteen fragments, none of which date as early as the present leaves (see his handlist of manuscript witnesses on pp. 269-76, where only Freiburg im Breisgau, Universitätsbibliothek Hs. 483.6 is dated to "s. ixinc", but this elsewhere dated to the second quarter of the ninth century). Bischoff identified these leaves as from "einem sehr guten rheinischen Skriptorium", placing them in the region to the immediate east of Aachen and Charlemagne's court, and we might speculate that these leaves were once part of a codex used by the court-scholars and just perhaps Charlemagne himself.Alongside the fragment of a Tours Bible sold in the Schøyen sale at Sotheby's 10 July 2012 (lot 28, realising £25,000 hammer), the cutting from a Carolingian Glossed Psalter sold in the same sale (lot 30, realising £28,000 hammer), and just perhaps the leaf with the Admontio generalis of 789 sold in our rooms on 6 July 2017 (lot 1, realising £36,000 hammer), the present leaves are the most important witnesses to the early Carolingian renaissance to come to the market in living memory. The scribe:The three leaves here were originally given two inventory numbers by Rosenthal, and on first glance they appear to be by two different scribes. The first and third leaves here have continuous text and probably were once a bifolium. These leaves have an early, but more mature, version of Carolingian minuscule with a closed 'g', only one occurrence of a nt-ligature and a notably round and tall et-ligature. The second leaf here, which comes from later in the parent volume, is most probably in the same hand (with a shared 'z', a dotted 'y' and use of uncial N within words), but has more pre-Carolingian features, such as frequent use of the nt-ligature, an exclusively open 'g' and a more angular et-ligature. All three leaves were ruled using the same ruling pattern. Unless we are looking at two scribes trained in the same scriptorium with hands so close as to be occasionally mistaken for each other, then this appears to be the work of a scribe who had learned the new Carolingian minuscule, and was on his 'best behaviour' on the first and third leaves here, as he began a new section, but later in the same book slipped back into older forms of letters. If correct, then this is a valuable paleographic record of the arrival of Carolingian minuscule and the practicalities of the adoption of it in its earliest years.
‡ Two cuttings with historiated initials from a Gradual, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on parchment [southern Germany, Bohemia or perhaps Hungary, c. 1500] Two nearly square cuttings, each with a large initial: (i) initial 'P'(opening "P[uer natus est nobis et filius et filius datus] est nobis cuius ...", the introit for the Mass of Christmas day) in burnished gold with foliate designs laid over in yellow paint, enclosing the Virgin in the bower, alone and kneeling before the Christ Child, all superimposed onto a realistic red and brown frame edged with liquid gold, with sprays of realistic coloured foliage on hairline gold stems and with large gold bezants in margin, remains of 3 lines of text with music on a 4-line red stave (rastrum: 21mm.), slight scuffing to gold in places, else good condition, 147 by 135mm.; (ii) initial 'S' (in error for 'M', opening "[M]e expec[tave]runt p[eccatores ut] perderent me testim[onia] ...", an introit for the feast of virgin-martyrs) in red acanthus leaves with details picked out in white, enclosing a young woman with long hair and a decorated headdress (but no halo) in a walled flower garden with a lamb and an open book, all on brightly burnished gold grounds with angular extensions to the corners (the gold spaces within the corners of the initial decorated with delicately painted red scrolls), red rubrics on reverse, 5 lines of text in a notably spiky hand with nearly every minim ending in a spiked foot and further spikes added to lefthand side of some ascenders, with music on a 4-line red stave (rastrum: 19 or 20mm.), slight damage to animal's face in initial, one small original flaw in parchment, else good condition, 163 by 164mm.; both attached to card mountsThe realistic frame and the decorations overlaid on the gold leaf here point towards southern Germany. However, the fluttering hairline gold foliage sprays on one cutting here finds close parallels in the Breviarium Diocecesis Strigonensis, a codex produced in Esztergom in the period c. 1423-39 for the archbishop of that northern Hungarian town (Salzburg Cathedral, M II 11: Farbenpracht auf Pergament, 2015, no. 11). Moreover, the script on the other fragment is sufficiently angular and prickly to suggest an origin in one of Germany's eastern neighbours.‡: A double dagger (‡) indicates that the lot is being sold whilst subject to temporary importation and that VAT is due at the reduced rate (5%) if the lot remains in the UK.
Ɵ Summa Sententiarum, ascribed to 'Master Odo', in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment [France, twelfth century (probably first half)]To view a video of this lot, click here. 87 leaves, complete, collation: i-x8, xi7 (last leaf a blank cancel), traces of eighteenth-century foliation ending on last leaf as '88' (thus perhaps once including an endleaf at front as well), single column of 26 lines in a small and angular early gothic bookhand, written above topline and with some lateral compression causing occasional biting curves, capitals touched in red, red rubrics, one-line initials in red or blue, larger initials in same colours in long and tall designs, some with baubles mounted in their bodies or floral flourishes to their feet (as with ornamental capitals in codices such as Dijon, Bibl. mun. 132, from Citeaux: W. Cahn, Romanesque Manuscripts, 1996, no. 63; Paris, Bibl. de l'École des Beaux-Arts, 12-16, from Liessies on the Belgian border: ibid. no. 107; and Strasbourg, Grand Séminaire 37: ibid. no. 146), two leaves with a large original flaw in parchment, volume once water damaged at front with first 13 leaves with modern parchment repairs to vertical edges (only first 5 leaves with substantial affect to text), a few small holes and stains on last leaves, a small amount of marginalia, some discolouration in places, edges trimmed, overall in good condition, 190 by 140mm.; in German binding dated 1501 (inscription on pastedown; see below) of bevelled wooden boards with tooled leather spine, parchment cutting from another binding reused as back pastedown, perhaps a remboîtage or this binding refreshed and added to later (see below), a few wormholes in boards, overall sturdy in binding Provenance:1. Written and decorated in France, perhaps the eastern part of that country. If this binding has always been with this book, then it was once in the library of Tegernsee Abbey where an inscription on the front pastedown states it was bound in 1501 (naming "S. Q[ui]rini in Tergernsee"). The house was founded in the mid-eighth century by monks from St. Gallen, and became an imperial abbey under Otto II in the late tenth century, growing to be a cultural hub for the region and a place of resettlement for other Bavarian monasteries. It was secularised in 1803 and its goods and library widely scattered (see S. Krämer, Handschriftenerbe des deutschen Mittelaters, 1989, II: 753-55). The Tegernsee catalogue of 1483 does not list any volume in the library under the name Odo, but does include a "Sentencie" under Hugh of St. Victor, and that additional authorial information may have once been on the missing front endleaf here (Mittelalterliche Bibliothekskataloge Deutschlands und der Schweiz, IV:2, 1979, p. 787).2. The pastedown also recording the book in the ownership of a collector in Thüngen, Bavaria, in 1886. Text:This text provided the building blocks and inspiration for Peter Lombard's Libri Quatuor Sententiarum, and was almost certainly written by Peter's friend and patron, Odo (or Otto), bishop of Lucca. It was published by J.P. Migne in Patrologia Latina 126 (1854), cols. 41-174, among the works of the leading theologian Hugh de Saint-Victor (c. 1096-1141), however, several manuscripts ascribe the work to one "Magister Odo" (as here at head of fol.1r), or "Odo episcopus de Luca". It is clear from the work itself that this Odo had spent some time in the new cathedral schools of northern France, where his greatest written influences were Anselm of Laon and Hugh of St. Victor (see R.W. Southern, Scholastic Humanism and the Unification of Europe, 1997, II: 138-39). This work is his sole known composition - a systematising of theology along scholastic lines, designed for teaching the subject in the new schools. Strangely, it appears not to have been finished, and perhaps it was set aside by its author on his return to Italy to take up the episcopacy of Lucca from 1138 until his death in 1145/6. The work then passed to Peter Lombard, who, after re-editing and augmenting Anselm of Laon's commentaries on the Psalms and Pauline Epistles, used it in the years 1146-58 to form the basis for his celebrated 'Sentences'. That work formed the central textbook of scholastic theology for the next two centuries.Odo's Summa Sententiarum survives in about twenty-five recorded manuscripts (Southern, p. 138; H. Weisweiler, 'La Summa Sententiarum, source de Pierre Lombard', in Recherches de théologie ancienne et médiévale, 6, 1934, pp.181-82, n. 72; and R. Baron, 'Note sur l'enigmatique Summa Sententiarum', ibid., 25, 1958, pp. 42-58), all in institutional libraries. To these should be added the Barrois-Ashburnham copy (ascribed wrongly to Hugh of St. Victor), a thirteenth-century manuscript last seen in J. & J. Leighton's catalogue of c. 1901: 'Catalogue of early-printed, and other interesting books, manuscripts and fine bindings', part VIII ('Si-T'), no. 5686; as well as a twelfth-century English copy from St. Osyth's, Essex (again ascribed to Hugh of St. Victor; last appearing in the posthumous sale of the stock of H.P. Kraus, in Sotheby's, New York, 5 December 2003, lot 66).Of individual note here, is the fact that the seventh and final tract in this copy (foot of fols. 79v onwards) is in an apparently truncated or variant form to that published by Migne.
Ɵ The Bishop Carr Bible, in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment [most probably England, mid-thirteenth century]To view a video of this lot, click here. 471 leaves (including one medieval endleaf at front and two medieval endleaves at back; last leaf of final gathering once blank, but filled with medieval annotations; the whole volume foliated in modern pencil including all medieval endleaves and two modern parchment at front and three at back, but this foliation followed here), occasional contemporary quire signatures, collation now impractical (but collated by Oliver in 1985) but text collated and wanting a leaf from beginning with the opening prologues and a single leaf from Psalms, a leaf cancelled between fols. 138-139 but text continuous, else complete, double column of 47-50 lines of a series of accomplished university hands, capitals touched in yellow or red, rubrics in red, versal numbers and running titles in alternate red and blue, small initials in same with contrasting penwork (these mostly scrolling and filling borders, but later in volume some of these looping penstrokes with crosses and circles overlaid in cruder style), larger initials in colour with white penwork enclosing tightly wound sprays of acanthus leaves, the larger of these with foliage ending in animal masks or human faces and terminating in occasional drolleries (including one with a crowned animal mask on 353r, a human-headed dragon on fol. 80v, and a drollery musician playing a pipe and tabor on fol. 311v), one full-page initial 'I' (fol. 4r, "In prinicipio creatavit ...") containing nine roundels separated by acanthus leaf sprays and enclosing drolleries, four big-cat faces facing each other, another big-cat, birds (one wearing a pointed hat) and a basilisk, all on coloured grounds, some leaves faded with text hard to read and at one point overwritten for a few lines, leaves at each end with slight damage to upper margins and some signs of old water damage there, small burn hole in fol. 54 removing a few characters from 8 lines of text, many of larger initials slightly scuffed or washed out, trimmed at head (but outer vertical edge with some leaves with original prick marks surviving), overall in good and robust condition, 173 by 120mm.; modern brown leather tooled with simple fillet and crosses at corners over thin bevelled wooden boards (perhaps early), sewn on five large double thongs, marbled endleaves (a paper endleaf from an earlier binding now pasted to second paper endleaf at front), red edges, front board loosening and split at head of spine, else robust in binding, in fitted cloth-covered box (made for Society for Biblical Research) A charming bible, most probably of English origin, and with a long and noble history of ownership, unseen on the open market since the mid-nineteenth century Provenance:1. A number of the hands here, the simple decoration (avoiding gold and with penwork in dull red and blue penwork) and the gaps left before the beginning of Mark's Gospel and the Interpretation of Hebrew Names all indicate that this volume was copied and decorated in a university setting in England, almost certainly Oxford, for use by a student or master there. It remained in use in England through to the close of the Middle Ages, and perhaps beyond, with hands of the thirteenth to the fifteenth century (some certainly English) adding notes for its liturgical use on endleaves and a list of Hebrew names with short descriptions added before the Interpretation of Hebrew names.2. Anthony Tomyson: his late sixteenth-century inscription beginning "this is my hand" upside-down on fol. 472v. He may be identifiable as the namesake who is recorded at Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1555, or less likely another who was as St John's, Cambridge c. 1596, and was a fellow there in 1603 (J. Venn, Alumni Cantabrigienses, 1927, I: 222). The short notes in English added by a sixteenth-century hand to a few margins are perhaps his (fol. 22v "her mother", 102v "Be yt ... unto" and similar).3. Bishop Robert Carr of Chicester (1774-1841; bishop of Worcester from 1831): inscription in hand of Thomas Joseph Pettigrew (see below) at head of paper endleaf from earlier binding, recording it as his and its gift to its next owner on 24 December 1830, presumably as a Christmas present.4. Prince Augustus Frederick (1773-1843), Duke of Sussex, the sixth son of King George III, who built a large library of theological books from 1819 onwards in Kensington Palace. By 1827 his library had reached approximately 50,000 volumes, all shelved together along one wall of a vast corridor joining the older and more modern parts of the building. This volume with his smaller bookplate annotated by Thomas Joseph Pettigrew, the duke's librarian and surgeon, noting its contents and an erroneous date of "1400"; additions at the foot of the same bookplate recording the shelfmark "VI H l. 10" (i.e. Latin 10), and it is recorded under the same in his Bibliotheca Sussexiana, A Descriptive Catalogue, 1827, I,1, p. lxxiii (that written by Pettigrew). The duke died leaving substantial debts and his library was sold by Evans in a series of sales, with this volume in part II, 31 July 1844, lot 12 (the pencilled measurements at the foot of the bookplate matching those of the Evans catalogue).5. Thomas Thorpe, London bookdealer: his catalogue for August 1844, no. 33: with a clipping apparently from this rare sale catalogue pasted to the front pasteboard here.6. John A. Murphy (d. 1900), a medical doctor of Ohio (on him see Gwara, p. 54), who also owned the Leonardo Bruni codex now Beinecke, Marston MS. 90: his bookplate.7. The Society for Biblical Research, Boston, MA., acquired by them from Otto Ege in April 1949 (see Gwara, pp. 54 and 161 where this book is HL 129), then MS. 2 of their endowment collection: with their marks "Zion MS. 2" on front modern paper endleaf.8. Acquired by the present owner in the London trade in the 1990s. Text:The volume here comprises a Vulgate Bible, with the standard prologues of Jerome as in Lambeth Palace MS. 1364 (see N.R. Ker, Medieval Manuscripts in British Libraries, 1969, I:96-97), but with "Multorum nobis et ..." used as a prologue to Ecclesiasticus. The Interpretation to the Hebrew Names is in the common form "Aaz apprehendans ...".English thirteenth-century Bibles are far rarer than their French cousins, and come to the open market much less frequently. Another with only penwork decoration was sold in our rooms, 9 December 2015, lot 111 realising £62,000 hammer. The last offered by Sotheby's was the William Ketyl Bible with very simple penwork decoration, on 4 December 2018, lot 14, and before that the finely decorated Northumberland Bible on 8 July 2014, lot 49, and another example from the Bergendal collection: 5 July 2011, lot 50. The last ones offered by Christie's were those once owned by J. Paul Getty, offered 20 November 2013, lot 42, another sold 2 July 2010, lot 203, and another two once in the Cornelius J. Hauck collection, sold in New York, 27 June 2006, lots 91 and 94. Published:J. Oliver, Manuscripts Sacred and Secular from the Collections of the Endowment for Biblical Research and Boston University (1985), pp. 17-19.S. Gwara, Otto Ege's Manuscripts, 2013, HL 129.
