Title: [Biblia latina]. Origin: [England or Northern France?: c. 1250]. Description: Decorated manuscript on fine parchment. 506 leaves. 20 x 14 cm. Double columns of 50 lines. Textblock: 14.5 x 9.5 cm. Binding: Sixteenth-century German "Reformation" blind-tooled vellum with two clasps. Includes portrait roundels of Martin Luther and other reformers. Comments: Written in small gothic script in black and red ink, this manuscript is likely a product of the Channel school, although it later was used in Strasbourg. The text concludes with a dictionary of Hebrew names (Aaz apprehendes version) attributed to Remigius of Auxerre, but probably the work of Stephen Langton. Marginal annotations appear in a later hand. Decoration: Folio 4r has page-length decorative initial "I" at Genesis 1:1, in red, blue, and green; headings and initials in red and blue with filigree penwork. Provenance: (1) Folio 1r signed "Joannes Heller Argentini..." (i.e., Joannes Heller Argentinensis, of Strasbourg [1559-1632], matriculated University of Basel, 1578). (2) Thomas J. Harrison, Pryor, Oklahoma, deposited at Bridwell Library, 1964. (3) Gift of Harrison Trust, 1994. Bibliography: Phillipp Rosemann, Understanding Scholastic Thought with Foucault. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1999, p. 63, plate 3. Images are linked to enlargements. | ||||
