Title A name given to the resource E0028 Leaf from a Book of Hours (Horæ Beatæ Mariæ Virginis) Subject The topic of the resource Book of Hours Description An account of the resource Northern France; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script. This Book of Hours shows definite characteristics of the manuscript art of France and the Netherlands of about 1450 A.D. It was probably one of many copies prepared for sale at a shrine to which devout pilgrims came to worship or to seek a cure. The spiked letters and the detatched ornamental bar are unmistakably Flemish in spirit, while the free ivy sprays are distinctively French. The burnished metal in the decorations shows the use of alloyed gold (oro di metà) as well as silver. Various metals were added in different localities to the fine gold. English illuminations frequently had a decided orange hue, while the French had a lemon cast. The quality of the gold was best enhanced by the use of burnishing tools equipped with an emerald, a topaz, or a ruby. Less successful burnishers contained an agate or the tooth of a wolf, a horse, or a dog. The metal alloys have tarnished, and there is visible chemical deterioration of the vellum. Some of the leaves display smudging of the ink when still wet. Text: The leaves we have seen indicate that this Book of Hours accords with the Use of Metz; see especially Leaf 28 in the Kent State, Denison, Kenyon, and Lima portfolios for evidence. This leaf contains text from the Hours of the Virgin at Vespers, including the entire text of the hymn "O quam glorifica luce."

Title A name given to the resource E0029 Leaf from a Book of Hours (Horæ Beatæ Mariæ Virginis) Subject The topic of the resource Book of Hours Description An account of the resource France; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script. It is generally no great task to assign these illuminated Books of Hours to a particular country or period. The treatment of the ivy spray with the single line stem and rather sparse foliage is characteristic of the work of the French monastic scribes about the year 1450 A.D. The occasional appearance of the strawberry indicates that the illuminating was done by a Benedictine monk. Fifty years earlier the stem would have been wider and colored, and the foliage rich; fifty years later the ivy and holly leaves would be entangled with flowers and acanthus foliage. This leaf allows us to see the dramatic difference between the size of a text block and the size of a leaf. The text block is ruled in red. Text: Based on the leaves we have seen, this Book of Hours accords with the Use of Rome. This leaf contains text from the Hours of the Virgin at Vespers or Compline, including the Song of Simeon from Luke 2 (recto).

Title A name given to the resource E0032 Leaf from a Gradual (Graduale) Subject The topic of the resource Gradual Description An account of the resource Italy (Florence); Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Rotunda Gothic Script, square notations. A Gradual contains the appropriate antiphons of a mass sung by the choir of the Latin Church on Sundays and special holidays. The text was furnished largely by the 150 Psalms and the Canticles of the Old and New Testaments. The superb example of calligraphy in this leaf illustrates the supremacy of the Italian scribes of the time over those of the rest of Europe. It is frequently assumed that this late revival of fine writing may have been caused by the concern of scribes over the impending competition with the newly invented art of printing. The music staff still retains here the early 12th century form with the C-line colored yellow and the F-line red. The four-line red staff had been in use for over two centuries before this manuscript was written. A very attractive feature of the decoration is the fine penwork in the flourishes around the Lombardic initials, including a delicate purple. Some leaves from this manuscript retain visible follicle evidence of a piebald skin source. Text: Not yet identified.

Title A name given to the resource E0033 Leaf from a Missal (Missale) Subject The topic of the resource Missal Description An account of the resource Germany; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script. The Missal, written for the convenience of the priests, combined the separate books formerly used in different parts of the service; namely, the Oratorium, Lectionarium, Evangeliarium, Canon, and others. Gutenberg, who printed his famous First Bible about the time this manuscript was written, based his type designs on a contemporary book hand similar to this example. The craftsmen who created this manuscript had the difficult problem of evolving a harmonious page with two sizes of writing, inserted rubrics, and large and small colored initials. The smaller writing is used for the Orationes, the Psalms, the Secreta, and other parts of the service; the larger script for the Sequentia. The main text of these large leaves is rendered in a dark slate-colored ink, with gradations that enable us to see when the scribe has dipped his pen. Some leaves include a striking ribboned capital letter in the top line highlighted in red. The first letter of each sentence is pricked in red, and each recto contains a red foliation (letter and Roman numeral) in the top center margin. Text: Not yet identified.

Title A name given to the resource E0034 Leaf from a Psalter (Psalterium) Subject The topic of the resource Psalter Description An account of the resource Italy; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Rotunda Book Hand, square notations. This Psalter was written by Carthusian monks. Of all the orders the Carthusian was the smallest and most austere. The membership never exceeded one per cent of those enrolled in the combined monastic orders. The Carthusians were frequently hermits, and manuscripts written by them are rare. The rotunda book hand used in this leaf is representative of the general excellence maintained by Italian scribes at the time when printing was being introduced into their country. The simple melody for the Psalms apparently was added at a somewhat later date. Close observation of the initial letters will frequently reveal a small black letter inserted as a guide for the monk who later added the color initial. The use of two guide lines for the lettering is unusual. Ordinarily one line, below the writing, was deemed sufficient. The lines were drawn with a stylus composed of two parts lead and one part tin. The vellum of this leaf is yellowed with substantial wrinkling around the edges. The lining has been done in ink, with black for the primary text (showing indications of wear) and red, blue, and purple in the decoration. This leaf is not illuminated, but decorative details include large and small red and blue initials. The large initials have a purple interior and exterior line decoration as an accompaniment.

Quod quidem te puto et in saeculari litteratura, et in divinis Libris legisse, et probasse. [3. 6.] Hanc autem explanationem, quam primus Origenes in decimo Stromatum libro, ubi Epistolam Pauli ad Galatas interpretatur, et caeteri deinceps interpretes sunt secuti, illa vel maxime causa subintroducunt, ut Porphyrio respondeant blasphemanti, qui Pauli arguit procacitatem, quod principem Apostolorum Petrum ausus est reprehendere, et arguere in faciem, ac ratione constringere, quod male fecerit, id est, in eo errore fuerit, in quo fuit ipse qui alium arguit delinquentem. Quid dicam de Ioanne, qui dudum in pontificali gradu Constantinopolitanam rexit Ecclesiam, et proprie super hoc capitulo latissimum exaravit librum, in quo Origenis et veterum sententiam est secutus? Si igitur me reprehendis errantem, patere me, quaeso, errare cum talibus; et cum me erroris mei multos socios habere perspexeris, tu veritatis tuae saltem unum adstipulatorem proferre debebis. Haec de explanatione unius capituli Epistolae ad Galatas. [3. 7.] Sed ne videar adversus rationem tuam niti testium numero, et occasione virorum illustrium subterfugere veritatem, nec manum audere conserere, breviter de Scripturis exempla proponam. In Actibus Apostolorum, vox facta est ad Petrum dicens, Surge, Petre, occide et manduca id est, omnia animalia quadrupedum, et serpentium terrae, et volatilium coeli. Quo [column B] dicto, ostenditur nullum hominem secundum naturam esse pollutum, sed aequaliter omnes ad Christi Evangelium provocari. Ad quod respondit Petrus: Absit, quia numquam manducavi commune et immundum. Et vox ad eum de coelo secundo facta est, dicens: Quae Deus mundavit, tu ne commune dixeris. Ivit itaque Caesaream, et ingressus ad Cornelium, aperiens os suum, dixit: In veritate comperi, quia non est personarum acceptor Deus; sed in omni gente, qui timet eum et operatur iustitiam, acceptus est illi. Denique cecidit Spiritus sanctus super eos, et obstupuerunt ex circumcisione fideles, qui venerant cum Petro, quod et in Nationes gratia Spiritus sancti fuisset effusa. Tunc respondit Petrus: Numquid aquam quis prohibere potest, ut non baptizari. Audierunt autem Apostoli et fratres qui erant in Iudaea, quia et gentes receperunt verbum Dei. Cum autem ascendisset Petrus Ierosolymam, disceptabant adversus illum qui erant ex circumcisione, dicentes: Quare introisti ad viros praeputium habentes, et manducasti cum illis? Quibus omni ratione exposita, novissime orationem suam hoc sermone conclusit: Si ergo eamdem gratiam dedit illis Deus, sicut et nobis qui credidimus in Dominum Iesum Christum; ego quis eram, qui possem prohibere Deum? His auditis, tacuerunt; et glorificaverunt Deum dicentes: Ergo et Gentibus Deus poenitentiam ad vitam dedit. Sursum, cum multo post tempore Verso Transcription: [column A] Paulus et Barnabas venissent Antiochiam, et, congregata Ecclesia, retulissent quanta fecisset Deus cum illis, et quia aperuisset Deus Gentibus ostium fidei; quidam, descendentes de Iudaea, docebant fratres atque dicebant: Nisi circumcidamini secundum morem Moysi, non potestis salvi fieri. Commota igitur seditione non minima adversus Paulum et Barnabam, statuerunt ascendere et ipsi qui accusabantur, et hi qui accusabant, ad Apostolos et presbyteros Ierosolymam super hac quaestione. Cumque Ierosolymam perrexissent, surrexissent quidam de haeresi Pharisaeorum, qui crediderant in Christum, dicentes: Oportet circumcidi eos, et praecipere illis ut servent Legem Moysi. Et cum magna super hoc verbo oriretur quaestio, Petrus solita libertate: Viri, inquit, fratres, vos scitis quoniam ab antiquis diebus in nobis elegit Deus per os meum audire Gentes verbum Evangelii et credere; et qui novit corda Deus, testimonium perhibuit, dans illis Spiritum sanctum, sicut et nobis, et nihil discrevit inter nos et illos, fide purificans corda illorum. Nunc autem quid tentatis Deum imponere iugum super cervicem discipulorum, quod neque patres nostri, neque nos portare potuimus? Sed per gratiam Domini nostri Iesu Christi credimus salvari, quemadmodum et illi. Tacuit autem omnis multitudo, et in sententiam eius Iacobus apostolus, et omnes simul presbyteri transierunt. [3. 8.] Haec non debent molesta esse lectori, sed et illi et mihi utilia, ut probemus, ante apostolum Paulum non ignorasse Petrum, imo princi- [column B] -pem huius fuisse decreti, Legem post Evangelium non esse servandam. Denique tantae Petrus auctoritatis fuit, ut Paulus in Epistola sua scripserit: Deinde post annos tres veni Ierosolymam videre Petrum, et mansi apud eum diebus quindecim. Rursumque in consequentibus: Post annos quatuordecim ascendi iterum Ierosolymam cum Barnaba, assumpto et Tito. Ascendi autem secundum revelationem, et exposui eis Evangelium quod praedico inter Gentes: ostendens se non habuisse securitatem Evangelii praedicandi, nisi Petri, et qui cum eo erant, fuisset sententia roboratum. Statimque sequitur: Separatim autem his qui videbantur aliquid esse, ne forte in vacuum currerem aut cucurrissem. Quare separatim, et non in publico? Ne forte fidelibus ex numero Iudaeorum, qui Legem putabant esse servandam, et sic credendum in Domino Salvatore, fidei scandulum nasceretur. Ergo et eo tempore cum Petrus venisset Antiochiam (licet hoc Apostolorum Acta non scribant, sed affirmanti Paulo credendum sit), in faciem illi Paulus restitisse se scribit, quia reprehensibilis erat. Prius enim quam venirent quidam a Iacobo, cum Gentibus edebat; cum autem venissent, subtrahebat se, et segregabat, timens eos qui ex circumcisione erant. Et consenserunt cum illo caeteri Iudaei, ita ut et Barnabas adduceretur ab his in illam simulationem.

Title A name given to the resource E0035 Leaf from the Writings of St. Jerome (Sanctus Hieronymus, Contra Jovinianum) Subject The topic of the resource Letter Description An account of the resource France; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Lettre de Somme. Jerome, the father of the Latin Church and translator of the Bible, shows in his writing his active participation in the controversies of his day (c. 332 to 420 A.D.). With the frequent use of vehement invective, he is often as biting as Juvenal or Martial. This fine book hand, lettre de somme, obtained its name from the fact that Fust and Schoeffer used a type based on it for the printing of their Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas in 1467. It was the favorite manuscript book hand in the second half of the 15th century for the transcribing of French chronicles and romances. Simplicity and dignity are maintained by omitting all enrichment around the burnished gold letters. The first printed books followed the practice seen here of marking off by hand and with a stroke of red the capitals at the beginning of each sentence. Fifteenth century ink frequently had a tendency to fade to a gray tone as in this example. The vellum is smooth and consistent. The first letter of sentences is pricked in red, and large initials are presented in gold and blue. Some text has been indicated with a marginal line in dark brown ink. Text: This leaf contains text from Jerome's Letter 75, addressed to St. Augustine in c.403.

Title A name given to the resource E0036 Leaf from a Book of Hours (Horæ Beatæ Mariæ Virginis) Subject The topic of the resource Book of Hours Description An account of the resource France; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Angular Gothic Script. Books of Hours, beautifully written, enriched with burnished gold initials, and adorned with miniature paintings, were frequently the most treasured possessions of the devout and wealthy layman. They were not only carried to chapel but were often kept at the bedside at night. Oaths were sworn on them. Books of this small size, two and one-half by three and one-half inches, are comparatively rare. The craftsmanship in this example imitates and equals that in a volume of ordinary size, about five by seven inches. Recently these small "pocket" editions have been given the nickname "baby manuscripts." In general, the miniature Books of Hours contain only that section of the complete volume which deals with the prayers to be read or recited at the canonical hours; namely, matins, vespers, nocturns, and those for the prime, tierce, sext, nones, and complin. Indulgences were often granted for the faithful reading or recitation of these prayers. This is the smallest of the 50 leaves in the Ege portfolios; each side contains just thirteen lines of text. These leaves were not separated easily: their inner margins are ragged, and scraps of the other half of a split bifolium are often visible. The rubrication and decoration/illumination remain vivid, sometimes overwhelming the fading text ink. Text: Based on the leaves we have seen, this Book of Hours accords with the Use of Rome (see Leaf 36 in the Cleveland Public Library portfolio, which contains the "Dum Esset" antiphon). This leaf is one of six containing text from the Hours of the Virgin at Vespers; specifically, it contains the beginning of the Magnificat.

Title A name given to the resource E0037 Leaf from an Epistolary (Epistolarium) Subject The topic of the resource Epistolary Description An account of the resource Italy; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Rotunda or Round Gothic Script, square rhetorical neumes. Epistolaries are among the rarest of liturgical manuscripts. Their text consists of the Epistles and Gospels with lessons from the Old Testament for particular occasions. Sometimes, as in this leaf, they had interlinear neumes in red to assist the deacon or sub-deacon in chanting parts of this section of the church service while he was standing on the second step in front of the altar. The text is written in well executed rotunda gothic script with bold Lombardic initials. Some of the filigree decoration which surrounds the initial letters has faded because it was executed in some of the fugitive colors which were then prepared from the juices of such flowers and plants as tumeric, saffron, lilies, and prugnameroli (buckthorn berries). First letters are filled with yellow. The top margin has been trimmed, and some leaves show extensive erasure.

The provenance of this manuscript is clearly designated as Limoges because of the inclusion of certain parts of the masses proper to this diocese, and because of the presence of the coat of arms and obituary records of the noted de Rupe family of that city. Frequently, without such data, it would be impossible to determine whether a fragment written in this period and country was from Amiens, Dijon, or Limoges. The national book hand had become amazingly uniform. In this manuscript as in many manuscripts of the 15th century there is an increasing tendency to speed and slackness. France was no longer setting the standard for manuscripts. This example shows that they were greatly influenced by contemporary Italian manuscripts. The main text ink is a dark grey. Some leaves have extensive passages underscored in red. There are alternating blue and red Lombardic initials, and pencil or ink Arabic foliation in the upper right corner. Text: Not yet identified.

Such exercises, both by sea and land, without the city prepared their minds and bodies for war. The city itself was all bustle with warlike preparations, artificers of every description being collected together in a public workshop. The general went round to all the works with equal attention. At one time he was employed in the dock-yard with his fleet, at another he exercised with the legions; sometimes he would devote his time to the inspection of the works, which were every day carried on with the greatest eagerness by a multitude of artificers both in the workshops, and in the armoury and docks. Having put these preparations in a train, repaired the walls in a part where they had been shattered, and placed bodies of troops to guard the city, he set out for Tarraco; and on his way thither was visited by a number of embassies, some of which he dismissed, having given them answers on his journey, others he postponed till his arrival at Tarraco; at which place he had appointed a meeting of all his new and old allies. Here ambassadors from almost all the people dwelling on this side the Iberus, and from many dwelling in the further Spain, met. The Carthaginian generals at first industriously suppressed the rumour of the capture of Carthage; but afterwards, when it became too notorious to be concealed or dissembled, they disparaged its importance by their language. They said, that "by an unexpected attack, and in a manner by stealth, in one day, one city of Spain had been snatched out of their hands; that a presumptuous youth, elated with the acquisition of this, so inconsiderable an advantage, had, by the extravagance of his joy, given it the air of an important victory; but that as soon as he should hear that three generals and three victorious armies of his enemies were approaching, the deaths which had taken place in his family would occur to his recollection." Such was the tone in which they spoke of this affair to the people, though they were, at the same time...

THE END OF THE 6TH BOOK AND THE START OF THE 7TH. [1.] Such was the state of affairs in Spain. In Italy, the consul Marcellus, after regaining Salapia, which was betrayed into his hands, took Maronea and Meles from the Samnites by force. As many as three thousand of the soldiers of Hannibal, which were left as a garrison, were here surprised and overpowered. The booty, and there was a considerable quantity of it, was given up to the troops. Also, two hundred and forty thousand pecks of wheat, with a hundred and ten thousand pecks of barley, were found here. The joy, however, thus occasioned, was by no means so great as a disaster sustained a few days afterwards, not far from the town Herdonea. Cneius Fulvius, the consul, was lying encamped there, in the hope of regaining Herdonea, which had revolted from the Romans after the defeat at Cannae, his position being neither sufficiently secure from the nature of the place, nor strengthened by guards. The natural negligence of the general was now increased by the hope that their attachment to the Carthaginians was shaken when they had heard that Hannibal, after the loss of Salapia, had retired from that neighbourhood into Bruttium. Intelligence of all these circumstances being conveyed to Hannibal by secret messengers from Herdonea, at once excited an anxious desire to retain possession of a city in alliance with him, and inspired a hope of attacking the enemy when unprepared.

Livii ab Urbe Condita Libri) Subject The topic of the resource History book Description An account of the resource Italy; Middle 15th Century. Latin Text; Humanistic Script. The known part of Livy's great life work, the History of Rome, was completed about the year 9 A.D. The finished work consisted of one hundred and forty-two books, of which only thirty-five are extant. These books are regarded as one of the most precious remains of Latin literature. One of the outstanding characteristics of the scholars and scribes of the Italian Renaissance was their great interest in Latin literature. Through their influence, many copies of the classics were made from the few 9th and 10th century manuscripts available. These earlier manuscripts had been written in a carolingian or pre-gothic script to which the 15th century humanistic calligraphers assigned the name antiqua littera. The letters were not really of antiquity, since minuscule letters were not known before the time of Charlemagne. In the 15th century, this carolingian script became the inspiration not only for manuscripts like this leaf, but also, shortly thereafter, for the fine roman types designed by the printers in Italy. The vellum is very well prepared, though some rubbing of the ink has cast a shadow over the text block of some pages. The script is crisp, clear, and without adornment; an exception is the Denison leaf, with its striking initial "H." [Mention the scribe's identification, etc.] Text: This leaf contains text from Livy's History 26:51 to 27:1. The English translation is that of Cyrus Edmonds (1850), via Project Gutenberg.
