The carved ivory elephant, with cat's eye chrysoberyl eyes and ivory tusks with gold detail and caps, wearing a gold ropework chain with a gold bell, ornately decorated with a vari-cut multi-coloured sapphire, ruby, emerald, star sapphire, star ruby and cat's eye chrysoberyl headdress and saddle cloth, extending gold tassels, topped by a sculpted gold howdah and umbrella, with multi-gem accents, the feet decorated with gold ropework bands and multi-coloured gem anklets, with gold toenails, circa 1900, 21,5 by 23 by 11,5cm, in a purple velvet fitted case, accompanied by original papersFor centuries India has regarded the magnificent gentle beast, namely the elephant, as one of the most significant cultural symbols. While their representations and importance differs between certain cultures and religions, the elephant is most often associated with divinity and royalty, as well as good luck and fortune. Historically, elephants were covered with elaborate headdresses, gold tusk caps, silk saddle cloths, jewelled anklets on their feet and a gem-set and silk-cushioned howdah for the master to sit on as they carried Emperors, Maharajahs and members of Princely India through important processions. While elephants are seen as ancient figures of royalty, the creatures are equally important in contemporary Indian culture. Elephants still take centre stage at some of the biggest festivals, adorned with jewels and elaborate decoration. This piece, carved from a single piece of ivory, is a wonderfully fitting tribute to the importance of the elephant, past and present.-c.f. Christie’s, Jewels: The New York Sale, 22 April 2009 [O].

Marsilius of Inghen, Quaestiones on Aristotle, De generatione et corruptione, in Latin, manuscript leaves on paper, later reused to support a fabric covered item, perhaps an embroidered binding [northern Italy or southern France, opening decades of fifteenth century]Five leaves, trimmed at their head or foot with losses of a few lines there, remains of double column of approximately 46 lines of a squat and scrawling late Gothic hand, with many abbreviations and lines packed densely together, marginalia by near-contemporary hand drawing readers' attention to individual parts of the text, watermark of a simple bell with three lappets at head and simple clapper at foot, part of a wide spread of such symbols in Briquet with a distribution predominantly across northern Italy and southern France throughout the fourteenth and early fifteenth century (Briquet, nos. 3911-85), the leaves with prickmarks showing they were stitched at one point with parallel borders around edges and a large cross in middle (this cross 120mm. high; two leaves without this cross and the innermost border), few tears to a edges, small spots and stains, else fair and presentable condition on thick and heavy paper, 235 by 235mm. Provenance:Recovered from reuse perhaps in an embroidered binding or piece of padded ecclesiastical furniture. Text:Marsilius of Inghen was born around 1340 in Nijmegen. He took up office at the University of Paris from 1362, where he was also rector (1367 and 1371), and served as the University's delegate at the court of Pope Urban VI. He seems to have turned his back on Paris after the Great Schism of 1378, and withdrew to the Netherlands and then Germany, where he was one of the founders of the University of Heidelberg, subsequently serving as its rector nine times in the 1380s and 1390s. He wrote a summary of Aristotle's Physica, and 'Questions' on the same author's De anima and Metaphysica, as well as De generatione et corruptione (the text found on the leaves in question here). These were his most influential compositions, and the present text is noted by both Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei.
