4to (170 x 230 mm). 147 ff. Arabic manuscript on laid, watermarked Ottoman paper. Black naskh script, punctuated in red. Original Byzantine monastic binding (alla Greca style) of 10 mm thick wooden boards, cut flush with the text block, covered with full goat or sheepskin leather, moulded and cut to fit around endbands and extended at rear, blind-tooled with a two-lined frame enclosing a two-lined cross and diagonal lines. An Arabic Gospel lectionary acquired from the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem, on 18 December 1733, with an inscription in an early Spanish hand, "Este livro de Evangelios es del Conv.do de Belen. Se compro en 18 d. Dez. 1733". - This Gospel lectionary was copied in Arabic for a Byzantine Orthodox or Melkite rite religious observance. The manuscript follows the course of a calendar year with gospel readings selected for each occasion of observance. The end of the lectionary year terminates with the feast of the Holy Sash of the Virgin Mary on the 31st of August. - The lectionary was the primary format of the Gospels used in the Arabic-speaking Eastern church, while the continuous Gospels were much less frequently used. A fixed version of the Arabic lectionary seems to have existed from at least the 8th century onwards. At a time when personal reading of the Bible was rare, these Gospel books were designed to be read in church. - The lectionary principally contains readings from the Gospel of St John with further passages from St Luke and St Matthew. It wants a few early pages, but remains bound in its original alla Greca binding, which consists of two plates of wood covered in goat skin and raised cords on either end of the spine; groups of quires have been stitched with thick horizontal threads. - Early binding a touch loose, shows minor wear. Wanting beginning leaves; light soiling. In good condition. - 1) Spanish purchase inscription denoting the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem, 1733 CE. - 2) Abu Sama'an, a carpenter and Muchtar of the Syrian Orthodox Church, who sold antiquities from his workshop and home overlooking Bethlehem square. - 3) Purchased from Abu Sama'an in 1968 by Father Howard Carlson, Director of the Presbyterian Church Hospital in Bethlehem, 1965 to 1974. - 4) Sam Fogg, 2017.…

298 x 232 mm. (11 3/4 x 9 1/4"). Single column, 26 lines, in a lovely proto-gothic hand, with two lines of uncials. Rubrics in red, two two-line initials in red, one four-line initial in red. Lower margin of recto with a 20th century note in very small letters in red ink (see below). Recovered from a binding and thus with overall darkening (though the recto much less affected by this), four lines of contemporaneous annotations slightly trimmed (though good margins all the way around), vertical crease with small wormholes and tears (touching text but not affecting legibility), other minor defects, but on the whole quite well preserved, and entirely legible. Containing a large, elegant initial and a beautiful proto-gothic script featuring two rows of uncials, this leaf is an excellent example of early Austrian manuscript production. The text here includes the end of a homily by the Venerable Bede, followed by the rubric for the Feast of the Birth of Mary Magdalene (July 22), commencing with St. Gregory the Great's Homily 33 (beginning "Ad Pharisei prandium dominus discumbebat") from his "Homilies on the Gospels." The homily played an important role in Christian understanding of Mary Magdalene as a penitent sinner, identifying her, for the first time, as the unnamed "sinful woman" who comes to anoint Christ's feet at the house of a Pharisee (Luke 7:36-50), and conflating her with Mary of Bethany (sister to Martha and Lazarus). Although modern scholarship now differentiates these three women, Gregory's interpretation of Mary Magdalene as a reformed prostitute has persisted for centuries. The present leaf almost certainly belonged to a Lectionary owned by a Romanesque church in Salzburg, a manuscript that was later dismembered for use in bookbinding. The script is particularly pleasing, being large and dignified, with extremely regular letterforms executed by a steady hand. According to the source from which we purchased this leaf, it was shown in 1893 to the Medieval historian (and later the Abbot of St. Peter's, Salzburg) Willibald Hauthaler (1843-1922), who wrote the identification in red ink along the lower edge. It was later owned by the Salzburg-based merchant, artist, and collector Carl von Frey (1826-96). It appeared at Christie's in 2010 where (along with five sister leaves) it sold for £13,970.…

Unfolded: 350 x 296 mm. (13 3/4 x 11 3/4 mm.). Double column, 30 extant lines, in a lovely proto-gothic hand. Rubrics in red, two four-line initials in red. Recovered from a binding and thus with top margin and a small part of text trimmed away, verso rather darkened with soil and glue (part of the text readily legible, the rest recoverable with effort), negligible wormholes and small cuts, but still a pleasing leaf, with the recto rather clean and quite easy to read. This lectionary fragment, which contains extracts from patristic writings for the season of Advent, demonstrates a majestic, highly regular, and graceful proto-gothic book hand. The oval-shaped elongation of Caroline letter forms that are characteristic of 12th century book hands, along with the mixture of rustic and uncial capitals our scribe has used for section titles appear particularly pleasing in the lovely, uncramped hand at work here. The majority of the text is from St. Augustine of Hippo's "Quaestiones Evangeliorum," which provides a series of questions and answers regarding the Gospels of Luke and Matthew. The section of the work here, XLIV, discusses Luke 17:34-35, in which Jesus tells of the coming Kingdom of God. This text is preceded by Pope Gregory the Great's homily for the second Sunday of Advent. The final column of text on the verso is unfortunately rather rubbed and therefore difficult to identify, but the headline indicates that it originates from a sermon of Pope Leo the Great. The present leaf almost certainly belonged to a Lectionary owned by a Romanesque church in Salzburg, a manuscript that was later dismembered for use in bookbinding. According to the source from which we purchased this leaf, it was shown in 1893 to Willibald Hauthaler (1843-1922), the Medieval historian (and later the Abbot of St. Peter's, Salzburg), who wrote the identification along the lower edge.

300 x 243 mm. (11 5/8 x 9 1/2"). Single column, 27 lines, in a lovely proto-gothic hand, including lines in red and black uncials. Rubrics in red, two one-line initials in red, AN EIGHT-LINE (83 mm. tall) WHITE-VINE INITIAL outlined in red and filled in with blue and green. Lower margin of recto with a 20th century note in red ink (see below). Recovered from a binding and thus the vellum on one side noticeably darkened (with a large lighter patch where a label may have been removed), the other side faded, with half the text illegible, top edge trimmed close, vertical crease going through initial, much of the white in the capital now a light gray, other minor issues, but still an impressive leaf, the once beautiful initial largely well preserved, with its blue paint still rich. Containing an elegant proto-gothic script and a striking white-vine initial, this leaf is an excellent example of early Austrian manuscript production. The large initial "A" is formed with foliate designs outlined in red, given shape by coloring in the negative space with an intense azure blue and moss green. This style would later become a model for the Italian Humanist scribes and illuminators of 15th and 16th centuries, who substituted glistening gold leaf for the vibrant yellow paint favored by some artists of the Romanesque period. The text of this leaf mainly includes readings for the seventh Sunday after Pentecost, consisting of III Kings 2:1-17 (beginning "Adpropinquauerunt dies David"), according to the Vulgate numbering. It describes the Death of King David, who instructs his son Solomon to keep the ways of God. With large and elegant letterforms executed by a steady hand, this leaf almost certainly belonged to a Lectionary owned by a Romanesque church in Salzburg. According to the source from which we purchased this leaf, it was shown in 1893 to the Medieval historian (and later the Abbot of St. Peter's, Salzburg) Willibald Hauthaler (1843-1922), who wrote in very small letters the identification in red ink along the lower edge. It was later owned by the Salzburg-based merchant, artist, and collector Carl von Frey (1826-96). It appeared at Christie's in 2010 where (along with five sister leaves) it sold for £13,970. Despite some condition issues related to its reuse in a later binding, this leaf is still very impressive because of its beautiful calligraphy and decoration.…

321 x 218 mm. (12 5/8 x 8 5/8"). Single column, 27 lines, in a lovely proto-gothic hand, top two lines in red or black uncials. Rubrics and numbers in red, two one-line initials in red, with A LARGE (115 mm.) IMAGE OF JOSEPH WEARING HIS COAT OF MANY COLORS, the body outlined in brown ink, and the coat outlined in red. Lower margin of recto with a 20th century note in red ink (see below). Recovered from a binding and thus with overall darkening on the recto and with nothing readable on the verso, bottom line of text a bit damaged because of crease through it, a few small holes, two corners trimmed (one or two letters of final line of text lost), but more than half of the Joseph figure (including the face) still visible, and the text on the recto entirely legible. Containing a beautiful proto-gothic script and a rare figurative Romanesque initial, this leaf is a particularly desirable example of early Austrian manuscript production. The text here is (as neatly noted in German at the tail edge of the recto) Genesis 37:2-10, the beginning of the story of Joseph, the 17-year-old son of Jacob (here called Israel) and his second wife, Rachel. In the well-known biblical account, Joseph is his father's favorite of 12 sons, and the patriarch gives him a beautiful coat of many colors, making his brothers jealous. Joseph here intensifies their dislike of him by recounting to his brothers two of his dreams, in which sheaves of grain and then various celestial bodies bowed down to him. Dream or reality, the images did not sit well with the brothers, who sold Joseph into slavery. Although once the leaf was reused as binding material, we can nevertheless make out an historiated "I" in the form of Joseph as a young man, including an outline of his multi-colored coat. It is difficult to say with certainty whether the initial would originally have been washed with color, or composed solely as a line drawing, but whatever the case, we are lucky to have so much of it intact. With his long, flowing hair, semi-nude body, and hand placed delicately on his hip, Joseph is depicted in quite a seductive manner, and the simple line-drawing further emphasizes the body's curves and lithe appearance. Romanesque initials with historiation are not nearly as common as decorative ones, and the present depiction is especially unusual. While illustrations of Joseph do appear in other manuscripts of this period, they tend to focus on specific events from the biblical narrative--particularly those that lend themselves to the tradition of Joseph as a prefiguration of Christ, such as Joseph being thrown into the pit, or revealing his identity to his brothers. The present example, by contrast, is all about the presentation of the figure. This leaf almost certainly belonged to a Lectionary owned by a Romanesque church in Salzburg, a manuscript that was later dismembered for use in bookbinding. According to the source from which we purchased this leaf, it was shown in 1893 to the Medieval historian (and later the Abbot of St. Peter's, Salzburg) Willibald Hauthaler (1843-1922), who wrote the identification in red ink along the lower edge. It was later owned by the Salzburg-based merchant, artist, and collector Carl von Frey (1826-96). It appeared at Christie's in 2010 where (along with five sister leaves) it sold for £13,970.…

Unevenly trimmed, but approximately 362 x 234 mm. (14 1/4 x 9 1/8"). Double column, 31 extant lines, in a lovely proto-gothic hand. Rubrics in red, remains of two large multi-line initials in red. Lower margin of recto with modern note in red ink in very small letters identifying the text. Recovered from a binding and thus unevenly trimmed (top margin and a small part of text trimmed away at the top), a handful of tiny cuts and holes of no significance, vellum a little brownish, but the leaf rather smooth, and the majestic text entirely legible. This lectionary fragment, which contains two important patristic sermons for the season of Advent, demonstrates a highly regular, graceful, and majestic proto-gothic book hand. The oval-shaped elongation of Caroline letter forms characteristic of 12th century book hands and the mixture of rustic and uncial capitals our scribe has used for section titles appear particularly pleasing in the lovely, uncramped hand at work here. The text on the recto is from St. Augustine's second Advent sermon, one of a series of homilies written for the liturgical seasons. The verso contains St. Gregory's homily for the first Sunday of Advent, preceded by Luke 21:25-33, a rehearsal of the signs of the end of days. The homily draws on this gospel passage to exhort the faithful to prepare themselves for the second coming. The present leaf almost certainly belonged to a Lectionary owned by a Romanesque church in Salzburg, a manuscript that was later dismembered for use in bookbinding. According to the source from which we purchased this leaf, it was shown in 1893 to Willibald Hauthaler (1843-1922), the Medieval historian (and later the Abbot of St. Peter's, Salzburg), who wrote the identification along the lower edge.

319 x 244 mm. (12 1/2 x 9 1/2"). Single column, 27 lines, in a lovely proto-gothic hand. Rubrics in red, two one-line initials and one two-line initial in red, WITH A LARGE (140 mm.) WHITE-VINE INITIAL INHABITED BY A BIRD, outlined in red and filled in with blue and green. Lower margin of recto with a 20th century note in red ink identifying the text. Recovered from a binding and thus with overall darkening, top half of verso somewhat soiled, with top line obscured (though with all other letters on both sides very distinct), cut a little close to the thin red extension of the initial, a few minor holes (inlcuding one elongated one through the top part of the initial, with minimal loss). Even with these defects, a powerfully attractive leaf with memorable decoration and script. Containing a beautiful proto-gothic script and an exceptional Romanesque initial, this leaf is a particularly desirable example of early Austrian manuscript production. The opening initial "F" is formed with foliate designs outlined in red, given shape by coloring in the negative space with an intense azure blue and moss green. Adding to the initial's charm is a large bird perched on one of the curving branches, turning its head to the right as if to read the text (like the initial, it is also outlined in red). The white-vine style seen here would later become a model for the Italian Humanist scribes and illuminators of 15th and 16th centuries, who substituted glistening gold leaf for the vibrant yellow paint favored by some artists of the Romanesque period. The text here is from St. John Chrysostom's homily on St. Matthew 22:34-40, an account of the Pharisees questioning Jesus on God's law, asking "which commandment in the law is the greatest?" Jesus famously replies with the key tenets of the Christian faith: "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets." This text was the Gospel reading for the 19th Sunday after Pentecost, preceded by the incipit "Frequenter iudei diversis interrogationibus" ("The Jews repeatedly tested him with various questions"). The present leaf almost certainly belonged to a Lectionary owned by a Romanesque church in Salzburg, a manuscript that was later dismembered for use in bookbinding. According to the source from which we purchased this leaf, it was shown in 1893 to the Medieval historian (and later the Abbot of St. Peter's, Salzburg) Willibald Hauthaler (1843-1922), who wrote the identification in red ink along the lower edge.

Two complete bifolia i.e.4 leaves (leaf size c.410 x 295 mm, text area c.310 x 230 mm), the first two and the second two leaves consecutive, written in double columns of 28 lines in dark brown and red ink in a fine protogothic hand, ruling not evident but pricking visible to some margins, 1 five-line initial, 2 three-line initials, and 10 two-line initials in red and yellow, 2 further two-line initials in brown and red, smaller initials set out into margins, capitals touched in red and yellow, rubrics, a few rustic capitals; recovered from use as a wrapper, the outer pages browned and with some damp-stains, the last page rubbed, some creasing from folding, small holes and marginal tears, oval paper-flaw to third leaf; overall well preserved; fourteenth-century(?) ownership inscription at head of third leaf 'Iste liber e[st] b[ea]te m[ari]e demartruolo(?)' (Martorell perhaps?), foliation to second leaf in the same hand 'xxviii', faint eighteenth-century inscription to central margin of last page.Four leaves from a large and handsome twelfth-century lectionary with readings from the lives of St Nicholas, St Ambrose, St Leocadia of Toledo, St Eulalia of Mérida, and St Paul of Narbonne, whose feasts fall between the 6th and the 11th of December.The passages on St Nicholas come from the late ninth-century biography of John the Deacon of Naples and describe two miracles attributed to the saint. In the first, Nicholas teleports to the aid of a group of sailors caught in a raging storm; and in the second he supplies life-saving wheat to the inhabitants of famine-hit Lycia, the sailors whom he convinced to donate it later finding their cargoes miraculously replenished; small wonder he is the patron saint of sailors. These readings flank part of Gregory the Great's homily on the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25.Two Spanish female saints follow, firstly St Leocadia of Toledo (feast 9 December), who was martyred during Diocletian's persecution by the prefect Dacianus, and secondly St Eulalia of Mérida (10 December), the account of her martyrdom opening here with a striking five-line initial 'I' (Igitur) in red and yellow. The text describes how the thirteen-year-old repeatedly refused to renounce her Christian faith despite the brutal tortures inflicted upon her by Calpurnianus and his soldiers, throughout which she taunted her tormenters. The final reading describes how a dove flew from her mouth as she expired, a miraculous snow falling to cover her injured body.The other two saints briefly represented here are St Ambrose of Milan (7 December) and the less well-known St Paul of Narbonne, whose feast day is here assigned to 11 December.Notable features of the script include the consistent use of the Tironian 'et' sign in close proximity to the following word. Distinctive spellings include 'kathedra', 'paucha', and 'veyculo'. Language: Latin.…
