  • Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts
    THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM MASTERWORKS FROM THE MORGAN: MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE MANUSCRIPTS Although Pierpont Morgan acquired medieval and Renaissance manuscripts only during the last dozen years of his life, his collection of some six hundred manuscripts was world renowned. His son, J. P. Morgan, Jr., added two hundred more that matched those of his father in terms of quality and importance. The collection currently numbers nearly fourteen hundred books and leaves. Written by hand and often sumptuously painted or illuminated with gold leaf, these manuscripts reflect the religious, intellectual, and artistic life of their time. Often commissioned by leaders of church and state, they were frequently made of rare and precious materials, requiring the combined skills of parchment makers, scribes, editors, illuminators, and binders. Protected by their bindings, the vivid colors of their miniatures have changed little, making them the best preserved of all medieval and Renaissance paintings. The icons of illumination shown here were selected because each, in some way, is the best of its kind and part of the core of masterworks upon which the Morgan’s international reputation is based. Nativity, in an initial P, leaf from a Gradual (I), in Latin. Italy, Florence, 1392–99, illuminated at Santa Maria degli Angeli by Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci for Paolo Venier, abbot of San Michele à Murano. This large historiated initial and four others in the Morgan come from the same two-volume Gradual, a choir book containing the sung portions of the Mass. The initial P begins the Introit for the Christmas Mass, taken from Isaiah (9:6): Puer natus est nobis (A child is born to us).

  • Sinai, Zion, and Eden in Byzantine Hymnographic Exegesis1
    Bogdan G. Bucur PiĴ sburgh, PA “THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD“: SINAI, ZION, AND EDEN IN BYZANTINE HYMNOGRAPHIC EXEGESIS1 Introduction In the manifesto of the “Theophaneia School,“ Alexander Go litzin ventures the following bold statement: Theophany permeates Orthodox Tradition throughout, informing its dogmatic theology and its liturgy. That Jesus, Mary’s son, is the very One who appeared to Moses and the prophets — this is the consistent witness of the ante-Nicene Fathers, and remains founda- tional throughout the fourth century Trinitarian controversies and the later christological disputes.2 In the pages to follow, I would like to show that, aside from the his- tory of creeds, councils, and condemnations, and accompanying the patristic works of Christology or trinitarian theology, the identifi cation of the Son of Mary with “the Lord of Glory whom Moses saw of old“ is also aĜ rmed by the hymnographic tradition of the Christian East. The witness of Byzantine hymnography is extremely relevant, as no single patristic work has been read so extensively and with such uncondi- tional acceptance throughout the ages. Nevertheless, as I will show, the exegetical dimension of Byzantine hymnography is diĜ cult to de- fi ne using the categories commonly used for early Christian exegesis (“allegory,“ “typology,“ etc); I submit that a more suitable category (1) Except where indicated, the English translation of the hymns is taken from The Festal Menaion (trans. Mother Mary and Kallistos Ware; London— Boston: Faber&Faber, 1969) and The Lenten Triodion (trans. Mother Mary and Kallistos Ware; London—Boston: Faber&Faber, 1977), modifi ed only to con- form to contemporary use of pronouns and verbs.

  • Jane Chedzey University of Reading
    Manuscript Production in Medieval Winchester Jane Chedzey University of Reading Manuscripts produced at Winchester include some of the most beautiful ever made. The Benedictional of IEthelwold was made for IEthelwold, Bishop of Winchester (963-984), during the revival of Benedictine monasticism in the second half of the tenth century. I The Winchester Psalter was made c.1150, probably in the Cathedral Priory of S1. Swithun, Winchester. 2 The Winchester Bible is a little later, also made when Henry of Blois was Bishop of Winchester (1129-71), and almost certainly made at the same place 3 Few manuscripts of the priory manuscripts survived the Reformation, and monastic records of S1. Swithun's were pillaged and dispersed during the Civil War. The earliest surviving catalogue of Winchester manuscripts was made in 1622 4 Winchester manuscripts attested to the first half of the twelfth century are almost entirely lacking. In contrast, the scriptorium of S1. Alban's had a prodigious output throughout the reigns of four abbots, documented in the Gesla Abbatum Sci Albani5 Oakeshott attributes the later increase in production at Winchester to the upsurge in interest and patronage of Henry of Blois. Nevertheless, it is dangerous to read too much into the absence of material from Winchester dating from to the early twelfth century. Manuscripts may have existed which do so no longer, or which await discovery even, unlikely as that may seem. It is evident that Winchester was a notable centre of high status manuscript production from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the medieval period, with varying levels of output perhaps.

  • Canterbury Manuscripts in Lambeth Palace Library Introduction This
    Canterbury manuscripts in Lambeth Palace Library Introduction This information was compiled by Teresa Lane (The Courtauld Institute of Art) during a placement as part of the CHASE programme in 2018-19 which reviewed methods for describing the Library’s medieval manuscripts. A group of books – the Canterbury manuscripts – was selected and a catalogue of these manuscripts created. This augments the existing catalogue by M. R. James, A Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Lambeth Palace: The Medieval Manuscripts (1932), copies of which entries are available in the Library’s online catalogue: https://archives.lambethpalacelibrary.org.uk/CalmView These new descriptions below comprise headings in the existing catalogue, supplemented with those used by the British Library catalogue. In particular, the James descriptions of decoration have been enriched and certain gaps filled. Where scholars post-James have questioned dating or attribution this has been highlighted – for example, MSS 3 and 200 – and bibliographic information has been updated. The descriptions below also indicate where images from these manuscripts were produced by the Courtauld Institute, and which are available in the Library’s online image system, LUNA: http://images.lambethpalacelibrary.org.uk However, please note that the image system is updated with new images, so images may become available which are additional to this inventory. These digital images are additional to the microfilm copies of the manuscripts recorded in the main archives catalogue. N. R. Ker in Medieval Libraries of Great Britain. A List of Surviving Books (London, 1964) and Supplement to the Second Edition (1987) identifies thirty Canterbury manuscripts in the collection which emanated from the libraries of the Benedictine Cathedral Priory of Christ Church and the Benedictine Priory of St Augustine’s.

  • Medieval Jewish Winchester a Collaborative Project by the University of Winchester and Winchester City Council to Uncover Winchester’S Rich Medieval Jewish History
    Medieval Jewish Winchester A collaborative project by the University of Winchester and Winchester City Council to uncover Winchester’s rich medieval Jewish history Introduction Winchester has an important and fascinating Jewish past. The earliest record of Jews in this city dates back to the mid-1100s, making it one of the earliest Jewish settlements in England. It was also one of the largest and wealthiest. Interestingly, despite these facts there has been a silence surrounding this chapter of Winchester’s history; this walking tour has helped mark the beginning of a new approach to remembering Winchester’s Medieval Jewry as part of this city’s heritage. Medieval Winchester was well located on trade routes and had a royal castle. It was a prosperous city with a wide variety of trades. It also housed one of the great fairs of England, the St Giles Fair, which brought Jewish and Christian traders to the city. From the late twelfth century all Jewish activities had to be recorded in chests known as archae, so Jews began to gather in those towns that had these chests. Winchester was one such city and eventually it became a centre for Jewish administrative matters in the county. The Jewish community often clustered in particular neighbourhoods and in Winchester they largely dwelled in and around Jewry Street. They lived alongside their Christian neighbours and although it has been suggested that there were exceptionally good relations between the two communities, the Winchester Jews faced accusations of killing Christian children as part of ‘Jewish’ rituals. A record from 1148 shows only two Jewish families in Winchester.
