AuthorCatholic Church
Place of Publication[Haarlem, Netherlands]
Date[1455-1465]
DescriptionDecorated manuscript on vellum -- Layout: written in 19 lines between two verticals and 20 horizontals ruled in grey -- Script: written in gothic bookhand in black ink -- Decoration: rubrics in red, text capitals touched red, one-and two-line initials alternately in red or blue, three-line initials alternately in red and blue with flourishing in purple or red to side margin. Six large puzzle initials (p. 26, 98, 140, 182, 228 and 276) in red and blue with extensive flourishing in red and purple to upper and side margins (slightly cropped into flourishing on some leaves, slight cockling to some leaves). -- Binding: Contemporary brown calf stamped in blind with a panel of the Lamb of God in a roundel within a mandorla framed by Siet dat lam Goedes dat boert die sonnen d[er] verl, the symbols of the four Evangelists in the corners, within a triple fillet, two metal clasps and catches (rebacked, the Lamb rubbed on both covers). -- Origin: The Calendar includes saints especially revered in the County of Holland, part of the diocese of Utrecht, with St Bavo, patron of Haarlem parish church in red (2 October). It agrees with the calendars in other manuscripts written by this scribe, identified by Margriet Hülsmann as active in Haarlem c.1455 - c.1465. Bindings with this panel stamp have been attributed to Haarlem c.1450-75, classified by Hülsmann as her type III.a.1 (see 'Met Prosper Verheyden op pad: Noord-Hollandse boekbanden opnieuw belicht). Lam Gods-paneelstempels versus penwerkdecoratie' in E Codicibus Impressisque III, Leuven, 2004, pp.97-137). Several religious houses in Haarlem earned money from book production, among them the Augustinian canons of the Visitation, just outside the town, who belonged to the Windesheim Congregation, the monastic exponents of the Devotio moderna. -- Provenance: Major J.R. Abbey (1894-1969): his gilt stamped armorial leather book plate inside upper cover, his name and addresses and date of purchase, January 1943, f.1, 'J.A. 2225 5: i: 43', f.179; his sale Sotheby's, 1 December 1970, lot 2880, page from catalogue pasted to lower cover.
