approx. 240 unnumb. p. and some loosely inserted contributions, almost all in pen but a few in pencil, in 2 clothbound board notebooks w. owner's entries "Sara Wijnberg Oosterpark 45 Amsterdam", respectively "Sara Wijnberg Januari 1931" on first free endpapers, folio.W. a loosely inserted contribution on envelopes/ business writing paper with her address Oosterpark 45 in Amsterdam, and printed advertorial line: "Reeds een groot aantal ernstige gevallen van Doofheid en Ooorlijden [sic] vond bij mij blijvende geneezing". Also loosely inserted are a manuscript card and a letter addressed (both unsent and displaying great uncertainty) to "Beste Cees" and dated 26/ 28 December 1933, and some other letters, contributions, newspaper clippings. Sara Wijnberg is mentioned on the website 'Joods Amsterdam' as known from an newspaper advert in which she offers her services as a specialist in ear-related problems (1931). The diary shows that she is a pious protestant, the reformed "Elthetokerk" is mentioned regulary). The very nice and personal diary starts with annotations concerning a certain "Jr.", with whom she makes music, together with others. "Ik heb den heelen nacht van Jr. gedroomd. Steeds werd ik weer wakker en als ik dan weer insliep, verscheen hij weer." (7 April 1930). They are both members of a musical group that performs at so-called "catechisatie-avonden". Sara Wijnberg displays a great uncertainty towards this Jr., very explicit jealousy towards other women and incredible calculative behaviour in company. She confides only in her friend Lea. After a strange confrontation (13 April 1930): "Lea troostte me al: "Er komt misschien nog iets goeds van. Nu merkt hij misschien, dat je een meisje bent." "Ja één van tweeën: of hij denkt: stik! of hij zal me gaan waardeeren (om het zacht uit te drukken)." "Maandag 14 April. (...) Den heelen dag zeg ik tegen mijzelf "en vandaag is hij jarig." Ja vandaag is Jr. 18 jaar. Ik kan hem niet gelukwenschen, maar wel bidden." "Donderdag 17 April (...). Ik stel mijzelf tot plicht: Hooren, zien en zwijgen. Nu voel ik wel hoe moeilijk het is je tong te bedwingen. Maar ik heb mijn dagboek en dat is geduldig en liefdevol. Morgen een heelen dag werken. Het is al elf uur en ik ben moe, moe van de onzekerheid." "Maandag 16 Juni Avond. Lea dwingt me te schrijven n.l. dat heel bijzondere: we hebben lichte kousen aan! Dat beteekent voor onze familie heel veel, Onze zwarte onderdeelen gaven een cachet aan degelijkheid aan alle oorden waar we verscheenen. Nu zijn we de wereld gelijkvormig geworden." "Maandag 18 Augustus, avond (...). Als ik een vergelijk tusschen Kees of Jr. dan moet ik erkennen, Kees is hoffelijk, zelfs lief, maar voor Jr. zou ik iets overhebben. b.v. (zoo stel ik mij voor) wanneer Kees eens blind zou worden of aan iets anders onvolledig mocht worden, zou hij voor mij geen aantrekkingskracht meer hebben, daarentegen als Jr. ooit zoiets zou overkomen, geloof ik, dat ik hem hetzelfde hart zou toedragen, hem met dezelfde gezindheid van nu zou bedenken."

Bookblock measuring 193 x 135 mm, comprising 60 vellum leaves and 3 paper pages comprising an 18th-cent. index of contents and a short list of common Latin abbreviations, later pagination 1-62 and 65-122, with 7 FULL-PAGE MINIATURES with floral and foliate borders in the style of the Masters of Otto van Moerdrecht, and 21 ILLUMINATED INITIALS extending into foliate borders with bezants, flowers and fruits, bound in late 18th cent. calf (apparently Dutch, upper endpapers with watermark "L.V. Gerrevink"), gilt spine w. 2 contrast mor. letterpieces.The Miniatures paginated 18, 22, 26, 42, 46 and 52 are partially or completely backed (some tears in vellum), some marg. loss of pigment to miniatures on p. 22 (vellum torn) and 52. The text lacks a number of leaves at the end of each Hour of the Office of the Virgin; text leaf paginated 91-92, strenghtened in margin recto (vellum torn); slight marginal cropping, some soiling throughout, occas. stained. The binding shows some imperfections, the contradiction between the provenance (English) and the binding (apparently Dutch) could not be explained by us. Fine, beautifully illuminated manuscript with a good provenance.The book must have originated in Bruges ca. 1430 for the English export market. The addition of Latin prayers in a 15th-century English hand (p. 62, 73-74 and 120) indicate that the manuscript arrived in England soon after its production. With owner's entry in pen of Jonas Smorden on p. 26 (a yeoman Jonas Smerdon lived in Ashburton, Devon in 1690). The manuscript was in the library of the Earls of Devon (already missing some leaves by the 17th or 18th century, when it was paginated and given the index), then by descent to the 18th Earl of Devon. It was sold at auction at Sotheby's, 7 July 2009, lot 51 and again at Christie's, 21 November 2012.The seven miniatures depict St. John the Evangelist, the Virgin and Child, St. Catherine, Christ before Pilate, the Scourging of Christ, Christ on the cross and the Commendation of Souls to Heaven. They are executed in the style of the Masters of Otto van Moerdrecht of around 1420-1440. See at large on these masters: Saskia van Bergen, De Meesters van Otto van Moerdrecht. Een onderzoek naar de stijl en iconografie van een groep miniaturisten, in relatie tot de productie van getijdenboeken in Brugge rond 1430 (Amst., 2007, thesis). Interestingly enough, the first miniature, depicting St. John the Evangelist, appears to be monogrammed in the image just above the lower borderlines. Three vague letters can be seen, with ":" in between.The text comprises: Calendar f.1-6v; prayers to the Trinity and to various saints ff.7-14; Office of the Virgin ff.15-31; prayers to the Virgin f.32; the Seven Hymns for the Virgin, here attributed to Pope Clement f.37; prayers to the Virgin and St. John the Evangelist f.39; Bede's prayer De septem verbis domini f.41; Penitential Psalms and Litany ff.43-50; Office of the Dead f.51; Gradual Psalms f.56; readings on the Passion f.58; the Psalter of St. Jerome f.60.

der nalatenschap van den WelEdelgeboren Heer Jan Jacob Blussé, gewoond hebbende en overleden te Dordrecht den 30 Januari 1893. dat 26 april 1893." Notarial manuscript for the use and benefit of Blussé's widow Helena Johanna Vriesendorp (1838-1907) and their 6 children, (86) p., with occas. blind tax stamps and at the end "Uitgegeven voor afschrift [signed:] J. Jongkindt, notaris" and with his stamp (Dordrecht).Includes an interesting large list of the household effects in order of the rooms they were in, each with individual valuation (among them "Een schilderij van Ludolf Bakhuyzen op vier honderd gulden"). The list ends with: "Geteekend A. Mak", apparently the valuations were done by him. The manuscript also comprises an extensive list of stocks owned by the family. The house is indicated in the manuscript as "het huis genummerd 3, staande te Dordrecht aan het Blauwpoortsplein, alwaar genoemde heer Jan Jacob Blussé in leven Notaris gewoond heeft en is overleden (...)". Old photographs of the exterior and interior of the house can be found online. The Dordrecht Blussé family is best known for their activities as booksellers and publishers in the 18th and early 19th centuries. See also lot 920 in this auction, a book that is not individually listed in this manuscript. But "In de kamer van Mijnheer" two bookcases with "eenige diverse boekwerken" are listed.
