R. (1932-1991) collection, acquired in 1970s in Germany; and thence by inheritance to the H.-J. Gehrmann collection.with Galerie Günther Puhze, Freiburg (Kunst der Antike, Katalog 12, 1997, no. 182).Anonymous sale; Sotheby's, New York, 5 June 1999, lot 141.Anonymous sale; Sotheby's, New York, 14 June 2000, lot 54.Private collection, Switzerland, acquired at the above sale.Anonymous sale; Bonhams, London, 28 November 2017, lot 79.Private collection, USA.Beazley Archive no. 20477.Beazley identified the painters of Group E as 'a large and compact group which is very closely related to the work of the painter Exekias, though earlier...'E' alludes to the connection with Exekias; and group E is...the soil from which the art of Exekias springs' (J.D. Beazley in BSA, vol. 32, p. 3-4 as quoted in Attic Black-Figure Vase-Painters, New York, 1978, p. 133). Exekias, the 'flower' of Group E (ibid., p. 143), is the acknowledged master of the black-figure technique. The work of both Exekias and Group E is characterised by a preference for mythological subjects, a sense of monumentality, and the use of added red. Boardman notes that Beazley later came to think that most of the vases attributed to Group E are actually by one hand, and himself states 'the artist or artists deserve our attention and some respect, more than we may naturally accord an anonymous group, since their work leads not only to Exekias...but [also] more painters of the second half of the century follow the lead of this group and Exekias than of Lydos or the Amasis Painter' (J. Boardman, Athenian Black Figure Vases, London, 1974, p. 56-7).Slaying the Nemean lion was Herakles's first Labour. He was said to have stunned the beast with his famous club, before using his immense strength to strangle it. After vanquishing the lion, the hero tried to skin it with his knife, but failed. Eventually Athena, watching Herakles's plight, advised him to use one of the lion's own claws and the pelt was duly recovered. Herakles is often depicted wearing this lionskin, which is symbolic of his enormous strength and valour. Athena is shown as an onlooker on the present lot, along with Iolaos, Herakles's nephew and companion.Herakles' struggle with the Nemean lion was a favoured subject of Group E, though amphora with this scene on both sides are rare. For another Type B Group E amphora with Herakles, the Nemean lion, Athena and Iolaos on both sides, see Museo Gregoriano Etrusco Vaticano, Vatican City, no. 354, Beazley Archive no. 310379.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Leaf from a Registrum Brevium, a register of writs, in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment [England (probably London or Westminster), mid-fourteenth century] Single leaf, with single column of 33 lines of a small and compact anglicana chancery hand, paragraph marks in red or dark blue, with reference words set off in outer margin with same, some capitals of these reference words touched in red, original folio no. 'lxxxxii' in upper outer corner of recto, lower outer corner once folded in, small spots and stains, somewhat cockled, else good condition, 192 by 127mm.Provenance:1. The parent codex of this leaf was written as a practical manual of procedural law for a working lawyer in medieval England. The Registrum Brevium functioned like case law digests in the modern practice of law, listing the grounds on which previous cases had been filed and thus providing lawyers with a reference list of causes of action that could be brought to court.2. Perhaps to be identified with the copy of the text with the same measurements but written in a single column of 34 lines, which was sold in Sotheby's, 10 December 1962, lot 144, to 'Dawson', perhaps the Los Angeles bookdealers. Another leaf certainly from the same manuscript as the present one was offered in Pirages, cat. 70 (2016), no. 198, with that written on 34 lines. The Sotheby's codex included 100 leaves, and was from the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps (his MS. 7379, his sale in the same rooms, 27 April 1903, lot 954), and had a late fifteenth-century note on fol. 30v signed by Robert Hardcowtre of 'ley hide' in Staffordshire.3. A label once on the reverse of a card frame this leaf was mounted in when acquired noted this as a part of 'TFI 1964', a reference to the portfolios issued by Foliophiles Inc., a company founded by G.M.L. Brown of New York, then handed over to the notorious Harold J. Maker in the early 1950s (also known as Harold von Maker and Peter Wertz; on whose later con-man activities see T. McShane, Stolen Masterpiece Tracker, 2006), and from 1963 run by Alfred W. Stites (1922-2016) of Washington DC. Stites proceeded to create and sell portfolio sets of leaves from manuscripts and printed books as teaching tools under the title 'Pages from the Past'. These were produced and sent out with great rapidity and turnover of contents, with Stites producing 18 such sets in 1964-66. Intact examples of these sets survive in Columbia, University of Missouri, Ellis library (including another leaf from the same legal manuscript with fol. no. 'lxxii'); Western Michigan University library; and St. Louis Public Library. 4. On the same card frame was mounted the business card of M. Revak & Co., Art, Letters, Literature of the Law, of Tucson, Arizona, and evidently sold by him.5. Acquired by Roger Martin from a private North American collector in 2018.
