Bernard of Clairvaux, - Meditationes and excerpts from De dignitate prelatorum Meditationes and excerpts from De dignitate prelatorum , and Petrus de Aspelt, Constitutiones , as well as Canon law and monastic texts, manuscript in Latin, on paper [probably central Germany (perhaps Mainz or Würzburg), fifteenth century] 207 leaves, complete, i-xx10, xxi7 (probably wanting a last leaf as a cancelled blank), red penwork initials and rubrics (the larger with penwork embellishments), double column, capitals touched in red, 27-30 lines of an angular late gothic German bookhand, opening words of chapters in second half of the work in larger script, two metal fore-edge tabs, watermark obscured by gutter and tight binding, area of blank page on verso of last leaf repaired with modern paper (but no text underneath), some spots and small stains, edges of leaves slightly woolly, else in good and solid condition, 203 by 145mm., contemporary binding structures and thick wooden boards, with remnants of metal clasp, early printed paper leaves as endleaves (and marks from others on boards, now removed) and large piece of a fifteenth-century document in German used inside back board to support sewing stations, spine with tooled pigskin laid on, rebacked and restored, some worm and scuffs, else good condition Provenance: (1) Most probably written in Mainz in the fifteenth century for a monastic library there: the third text here is a markedly local one, and was the compilation of the archbishop of that city about a provincial council held there in 1320. (2) By the second decade of the sixteenth century, the book appears to have passed into a library in the vicinity of nearby Würzberg, where it was checked by the Catholic censor, [G]erhard Lufft: his inscription on back board, Iste liber conparatus est a me fre erardo lufft anno 1521 , similar to an incunable he also inspected and inscribed in 1531, and now in the University Library there (I. Hubay, Incunabula der Universitätsbiblithek Würzburg , 1966, no. 1095). Despite the rapid spread of Luther s teachings in Germany, Würzberg remained a Catholic stronghold throughout the sixteenth century, and as late as 1588 drove its Lutheran inhabitants out into exile in nearby Ansbach. 3. Like many other monastic volumes it was probably released to the market during the secularisation at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and acquired the erased pencil marks N11238 and £5 - at this time. Text: This handsome late medieval monastic book includes one of the fundamental contemplative texts of the Middle Ages, the Meditationes of the extreme aesthetic theologian Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153; fols. 1r-22v), followed by excerpts from his De diginitate prelatorum (fol. 22v-63v). Next is a text which calls itself the Constitutio[n]es magistri petri archiep[iscop]i maguntinensis (fols. 63v-123r), and is in fact a compilation on the Provincial Council of Mainz in 1320, put together by Petrus de Aspelt, bishop of Basel in 1294-1306, archbishop of Mainz in 1306-20, protector of the Knights Templar and a leading statesman of his period. Excerpts from Gratian s Decretum follow under the title Liber decretorum de consecracione and Liber decretorum de penitencia (fol. 123r-165v). The last 3 leaves of the volume contain brief extracts from the Lateran Council, primarily of interest to monks, under the title Nota ex libro iii decretalium (fols. 205v-207v).

A SET OF FIVE MARQUETRY PANELS FROM THE ROYAL YACHT ROYAL CHARLOTTE, EX-ROYAL CAROLINE, CIRCA 1750 walnut with ink lined satinwood inlay depicting scenes from Homer's Illiad, framed within feigned oak leaf ovals, one inscribed on the reverse Taken from the Royal Yacht of George 3rd. Presented to Mr. B. Tuckness of Deptford Dockyard during that Kings Reign with other similar inlaid pictures representing combats in the Trojan War -- one of [a] of a series of illustrations from Homers Illiad ' , another with applied manscript provenance, two now cut down -- 14 x 11in. (35.5 x 28cm.) and 8½ x 7in. (21.5 x 18cm.) mounted on gilt supports for wall hanging. (5) Provenance: Bartholomew Tuckness; Charlotte Tuckness (wife of Charles Tuckness) to Rev. J. Salwey, Broxbourne, April 1892; US Private Collection. Bartholomew Tuckness (1750-1822) was a joiner located in King Street, Deptford, who founded the firm of Tuckness & Huntley. It seems he was employed by the yard before founding his firm and retained strong connections, the Royal Charlotte being broken up at Deptford in 1820 having been laid up since 1804. Royal Caroline, principal yacht to King George II and named in honour of his wife Caroline (of Ansbach), was built at Deptford by Mr. J. Allin in 1749. Designed as a sixth-rate mounting 10-3pdrs. and 8-pdr. swivel guns, she was measured at 232 tons burden with a 90 foot gundeck and a 24 foot beam. The largest royal yacht to date and the only such vessel to exceed 200 tons until Royal Sovereign was launched in 1804, she was one of the most sumptuous and expensively decorated vessels ever constructed. Whilst the Admiralty had ordered her, they had not budgeted for her and the niggling correspondence that ensued throws interesting light onto the lavish decor - nearly £1200 for carvings with 120,000 sheets of gold leaf costing a further £1521; £200 for curtains and silks; £18 for the stern lantern and numerous other expenses. A note sent by a carpenter called John Bladwell, sent to George Jackson of the Navy Office from March 1750 may mention, in part at least, the lot offered here: Sir - I was favour'd with yours[.] the hanging for his Majesty's Room is gone Down and the other 21 Panels will all be finished Satterday [sic] Morning without fail. At that time a typical seaman received £12 per annum and her full ship rig required a crew of 70 men to handle. George II's frequent visits to Hanover meant that she was in constant use ferrying him to and from the continent and she remained a firm favourite with the King until his death in 1760. When the new King, George III, chose Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg to be his Queen, Royal Caroline was renamed Royal Charlotte in her honour and was the obvious vessel to convey the new bride to England. After the Princess Augusta was launched in 1771, Royal Charlotte lost her place as the most favoured royal yacht but continued in service. The Napoleonic Wars curtailed her use however and other than carrying the King on the occasional holiday trip to Weymouth between 1801-04, she was mostly laid up at Deptford and finally broken up there in 1820 where presumably a quantity of her fittings were sold off - it's no surprise an established supplier such as Mr Tuckness was able to acquire these very rare souvenirs which give a small hint of the quality alluded to in the Admiralty correspondence.
