ƟDecretals of Gregory IX, or ‘Liber Extra’, with commentary of Raymond Peñafort, in the extremely rare Old French translation, decorated manuscript on parchment [northern France, (probably Paris), dated 1280]72 leaves, wanting leaves at front and back and a few single leaves throughout, collation: i5 (wanting first 2 leaves and last leaf from quire), ii5 (wanting first, fourth and last leaves), iii8, iv8 (wanting first leaf), v8, vi-vii8 (both wanting first leaves), viii-ix8, some catchwords, double column of 40 lines of a professional and precise early gothic bookhand, quotations underlined in red, red rubrics (these in Latin for fols. 1-40v, and Old French for fols. 41r-72v), running titles in alternate red or blue capitals, one-line initials in alternate red or dark blue, larger initials in same with long scrolling penwork in contrasting colour extending far into the margins, one large variegated initial ‘A’ in red and blue with foliate penwork infill (fol. 53v), some leaves with near-contemporary notes in Old French in ink and dry-point glosses at their lowermost extremities explaining legal concepts, another with a scrap of parchment with same stitched to bas-de-page (fol. 14r), mid-twentieth-century pencil foliation and a few marginal notes in modern French on codex, first leaf detached and stained, tears to edges of a few leaves, slight cockling at extremities throughout, but overall in clean and solid condition, 317 by 225mm.; binding structures in place at spine (four double thongs and part of a foot-band), these showing that volume was originally not much longer at end than at presentProvenance:Most probably completed in 1280, as a practical reference work for a legal practitioner. A tiny contemporary inscription at the head of fol. 29r records the apparent date of the completion of the book: “anno domini m cco lxxxo”. Certainly it was in existence within months of that date, when a near-contemporary hand added to it: ““Martinus episcopus servus servorum dei” (Pope Martin IV, of French origin, was elected on 22 February 1281). The wave of Old French translation in the thirteenth century is associated with a shift of the use of the written word away from the traditional centres of the Church (see below), and we might postulate an origin for this in a university teaching centre rather than a religious community.Text:The poor condition of this book cannot be avoided, but its textual contents ensure that while it is a relic, it is a noble one which still inspires fascination. The text was issued by Gregory IX in 1234 as an adjunct, or ‘extra’, to the encyclopedic Gratian’s Decretum. It contained the whole body of canon law as edited by Raymond Peñafort, who had gathered, organised, and edited the papal decretals that had established legal precedent since the time of Gratian in the mid-twelfth century. The present witness contains a relatively early fragment of Books II and III, on oaths, witnesses, and testimony, and the personal lives of the clergy.The text filled a practical need, and was greatly popular, surviving now in 675 recorded medieval copies. However, what sets this particular copy apart from almost all of its peers is the fact that it contains the text translated into vernacular Old French. Apart from the present witness, only eleven recorded manuscripts contain this vernacular version (Boulogne-sur-Mer, Bibliothèque municipale MS. 123; Bourg-en-Bresse, Bibliothèque municipale MS. 9; Brussels, BR. MS. 11082; Caen, Bibliothèque municipale MS. 49; Montpellier, BU section Médecine H. 51; Paris, Arsenal 5215; Paris, BnF. ms. français 491, 492, 493 and n.a. français 5120; Rouen, Bibliothèque municipale ms. 726), all in French or Belgian institutional ownership.The translation of this text was undertaken as part of the great renaissance of the French language in the thirteenth century, during which the Vulgate Old Testament was translated as well as a number of the Classics such as Ovid’s Heroides and historical works such as William of Tyre. As part of this, Roman law was translated in the 1220s and Canon Law in the 1230s, with the Liber extra appearing in French between 1234 and 1245 (see E. Fournier, in Acta Congressus Iuridici Internationalis VII saeculo a Decretalibus Gregorii IX et XIV a Codice Iustiniano promulgatus, 3, 1936, pp. 247-67). This linguistic shift is usually associated with a cultural one in the use of written texts exclusively by the Church towards increasing use by the laity, but it also witnessed the ‘coming of age’ of Old French as a language that would eventually lead to its recognition as the European ‘lingua franca’. While one can still obtain fragments of leaves or charters in Old French from the dawn of this period (see the leaves from the Chronique dite de Baudouin d’Avenes of c. 1300, sold in our rooms, 8 July 2015, lot 29, and the charter dated 1307, also sold in our rooms, 9 December 2015, lot 92, for examples), actual codices, even in a damaged state, are remarkably difficult to find on the market. The last thirteenth-century codex in French to appear in Sotheby’s was a vernacular Apocalypse, sold on 25 February 1946, lot 60; while Quaritch offered an early Book of Hours, in their cat. 629 (1945), no. 6; the Robinsons offered a Romance of Waldef, ex Heber and Phillipps, in their cat. 77 (1948), no. 77; Kraus offered a Roman de Garin le Loherin, also ex Phillipps, in his cat. 153 (1979), no. 29; and a Romans de Carite was sold in a Van Gendt auction in Amsterdam on 23 October 1972, lot 1473.
