Three leaves from the Chronique dite - de Baudouin d’Avenes, in French, illuminated manuscript on... de Baudouin d Avenes, in French, illuminated manuscript on parchment [northern France (Therouanne), c .1300] Three leaves, double column, 35 lines of a skilled French vernacular hand (written space 190mm. by 125mm.), ten illuminated initials enclosing portraits of men and women, one a monk in orange robes reading from a book, initials with coloured and gold border extensions terminating in fleshy orange and white flowers, linefillers in same, contemporary foliation 'cxxxiii', 'xviii' and 'lviii' at the head of the recto of each leaf, all recovered from bindings and somewhat rubbed and cockled with flaking from initials, and with small fragments of paper from printed pages adhering, two leaves roughly stitched together, fair condition, 290mm. by 185mm. Acquired in Sotheby's, 25 April 1983, lot 78. These are three of the missing leaves from Arras, Mediatheque municipale, MS. 863 (recently catalogued by A. Stones, Gothic Manuscripts, 1260-1320, Part I , 2013, no. III-82, pls. 618-20, and with many further reproductions on the BVMM website), which evidently was being cut up in the sixteenth century for reuse on bindings. The text is that of an early universal chronicle, the so-called Chronique dite de Baudouin d'Avesnes . The first version charted history from the Creation up to 1278/81, and was complete by the death of the patron after whom it is named in 1289. The Arras manuscript extended the text up to c .1300, and the leaves here are from the as yet unpublished section of Old Testament history, narrating part of the stories of the children of Israel in the desert, Balaam and the ass, the battles of Saul and David and ending with the death of Brutus en la grande bretaigne . The Arras manuscript is probably from the medieval library of the Abbey of Saint-Vaast, Arras (founded 667, suppressed 1798 and chattles sold 1838). This lot, and the six following, are included here as affordable examples of European vernacular languages

Charles Frederick Fraser was born in 1872 in Leeds, Yorkshire, the son of Charles John Fraser, a Sergeant Major in the Royal Engineers of Scottish decent. Prior to the Great War he worked as a Bank Manager, living at Bank House, 2 Victoria Road, The Brook, Liverpool. He served in the Great War as a Quarter Master & Lieutenant with the 87th (West Lancashire) Field Ambulance, RAMC, part of the ‘Incomparable’ 29th Division. He served during the Gallipoli Campaign, and on the day of landings, 25 April 1915, Lieutenant Fraser remained aboard the SS Southland under Lt Col O’Hagan, with Major A P Hope-Simpson and Lieutenant Ryan, and in the initial days this vessel served as the primary casualty clearing station for the Gallipoli landings. The Liverpool Courier noted that Colonel O’Hagan (and presumably Lt C F Fraser also) began operating at 8.15am on Tuesday the 27th, and worked without cessation until 1.15pm on Friday 30 April continuously treating the worst of the casualties. On 6 May Colonel O’Hagan and his team were landed at Gully Beach where the HQ of the 87th Field Ambulance was established. The 87th Field Ambulance served with distinction throughout Gallipoli, but suffered heavy casualties, including amongst its officers Colonel O’Hagan (dysentery), Captain Clarke (gsw), Colonel Lindsay (slight wound & exhaustion). After the evacuation from Gallipoli, he continued to serve in France and Flanders, and was awarded the Military Cross in connection with his actions at Marcoing, part of the Battle of Arras, in 1917, ultimately reaching the rank of Quartermaster and Honorary Captain. He appears to have transferred to the Army Reserve in 1923, and retired from military service in 1927. Sold with 8 original pictures and postcards inside a brown canvas wallet, including three on horseback in Gallipoli, with one clearly showing the recipient in the uniform of the Liverpool Scottish, this believed to be pre-war, and one of his son, Kenneth. An interesting group, sold with a quantity of useful research.
