Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 4to (31.5 cm), 608 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). The illuminated manuscripts at Waddesdon Manor, largely undiscovered and unpublished, constitute only a third of the magnificent collection initiated by Baron James Mayer de Rothschild (d. 1868) and expanded by his son Baron Edmond (1845-1934). Many of these manuscripts represent the finest works of significant publishing houses and workshops from the later Middle Ages, with some valued for their texts and others for the opulence of their illumination. This catalogue signifies a reorientation in the study of manuscripts, presenting descriptions organized to emphasize the history of the medieval book. The components of the manuscripts - technical elements, texts, and their illustrations - are analyzed in the sequence in which they were produced. The commentaries accompanying each description seek to interpret the manuscripts, introducing the less specialized reader to this often-overlooked aspect of artistic production and social life in the Middle Ages.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 4to (31.5 cm), 608 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). The illuminated manuscripts housed at Waddesdon Manor, a collection that has remained largely unknown and unpublished, constitute only a third of the splendid assortment initiated by Baron James Mayer de Rothschild (d. 1868) and expanded by his son Baron Edmond (1845-1934). Many of these manuscripts stand as exemplary products from significant publishing houses and workshops of the later Middle Ages, valued for both their texts and the opulence of their illumination. This catalogue marks a reorientation in the study of manuscripts, organizing descriptions in a manner that accentuates the history of the medieval book. The components of the manuscripts, including technical elements, texts, and illustrations, are analyzed in the sequence of their production. Accompanying commentaries after each description seek to interpret the manuscripts, aiming to introduce the less specialized reader to this relatively obscure facet of artistic production and social life in the Middle Ages.

Illuminated Manuscripts. The James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor. Catalog of the manuscripts inherited by James A. de Rothschild from his father Baron Edmond de Rothschild, now the property of the National Trust for places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty (of Great Britain) Published for the National Trust by Office du livre, Fribourg, first edition, 1977. - Cloth, large 8vo, gilt device on front board, 32 cm, slipcased, 608 pp, 46 colour plates (some mounted), numerous black and white illustrations. A splendid catalogue of a superb collection, but more than this since the catalogue was intended also to explainand illustrate Delaisse 's method of examining and interpreting manuscripts. The earliest manuscripts in the collection "are a thirteenth century Italian Bible, which is decorated but not illustrated, and a Liturgical Psalter, which was probaby written between 1326 and 1328 and which was decorated and illustrated in the workshop of Jean Pucelle. The remaining manuscripts are all fifteenth or sixteenth century, and, with the exception of two Italian Books of Hours, they are French or Netherlandish. The quality of the collection is rather uneven. The outstanding manuscripts are two Books of Hours illuminated respectively by Jean Bourdichon and by Simon Bening."-from a contemporary review. From the introduction: "The material description of each manuscript in this catalogue .describes in succession: I. The material and its size. II. The construction of the book in quires or gatherings. III. The preparation of the bifolio, by pricking and ruling. IV. The text, of which contents and script are examined separately, V. The decorations, in the order of their importance in relation to the text: initials, paragraph signs, line endings, and borders. VI. The illustration of the text with miniatures, of which the subjects and techniques are distingui. - language : english text Size: 240 X320 mm. Quarto.

Wit and politician (-1837). His health is restored but "Whishaw doubled my Disappointment by Recounting your Fairy Ball". Obviously, ill health prevented his attendance. With: (ms) "Advertisement Extraordinary", an amusing skit in which Jekyll offers to provide people to visit Country Houses much as horses are hired or books provided by a circulating library, 3pp., 8vo. On a blank conjoined page appear the words "not in Jekyll's handwriting", etc. signed "C. Fox" (Caroline Fox). 2 items,.

The first item is fairly witty, while the second exhibits the sort of 'excruciating puns' for which Jekyll is, according to his entry in the Oxford DNB, largely remembered. See also Agar-Ellis's entry in the same work. The two items are in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: Letter of 'Sunday Morning' to 'Dear Ellis'. 2pp, 12mo. Signed 'Joseph Jekyll'. Folded twice. Minuted by recipient at head of first page: 'May 1825 / Jekyll'. Begins: After a Months Enjoyment of the Habeas Corpus the Govt most unconstitutionally suspended it last Wednesday, and ordered me into a third Confinement without Bail or Mainprize, but I have good nights, not much Pain, and no Foreign Office'. He regrets having missed 'the Academy Dinner', 'though Rogers, [the poet Samuel Rogers] with whom Joseph breakfasted yesterday, said it was crowded'. 'At any rate I was not to be there, as the King sent in the Morning to tell me to dine with him; but the Govt disobeys Kings, and despises the Liberal Arts, having quizzed the Art of Healing for three thousand Years.' TWO: Manuscript account of what is described by Agar-Ellis in his minuting at the head of the first page as 'Bazaar in Mr Penn's Garden for Charing Cross Hospital'. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Fifty-four lines, signed at end 'J. J.' The writer identified by Agar-Ellis as 'Jekyll', and while the document may be the original in Jekyll's autograph, the handwriting is less loose and much neater than that of Item One, suggesting a copy. Begins: 'Mr. Penn pennetrated [sic] with the Principle "that Charity should begin at home" yesteday threw open his Mansion & extensive Shurubberies to atttract the Rich for the Benefit of the Poor, to declare New Street in a State of Blockade without a Casus Foederis -'. Among other flighs of fancy the account continues with reference to 'perpenndicular Columns', 'three Harpers of Pennmanmawr playing Pennillions', 'the Inkas [sic] of Peru', 'Beauty to which neither Penn nor Penncil can do justice', 'the Margrave of Penndennis, Sr. Uter Penndragon, Bart.', 'the honourable Pennelope Pennsive', 'the Dean of Pennzance', 'Pennobscot', 'Brigadier General Penntagon of the Engineers pennsioned for the loss of his Nose in the Penninsular', 'Abraham Penntateuch Esqr.', 'Penntonville', 'the Dowager Lady Pennteazle with the two lovely Pennguins her Grand Daughters'.

1p, 8vo. On bifolium addressed on verso of second leaf to 'Mr. Erskine'. In good condition, lightly aged. Autograph jeu d'esprit, signed at foot 'J. Jekyll. | June 30th. 1800'. A short poem reading: 'Tell Mrs. Crewe | I envy You. | But sit on Lu- | nacy. || Yet Mrs. Crewe | will think I'm stu | pid in my lu | -cid Intervals.' Jekyll's entry in the Oxford DNB concludes, perhaps unkindly: 'If he is remembered by later generations, it is chiefly as a wit. It has to be said, however, that his wit, which consisted in large measure of excruciating puns, has not lasted well.'.
