‡ Hebrew Bible, Amos 5:7-7:11, manuscript on parchment [Oriental (Near East), tenth or eleventh century] Single large square leaf, with three columns of 22 lines of large square script with nikkud, Masora magna above text and Masorah parva below text, small Masorah inserted between the columns, small stains and tears to edges, else excellent condition and on fine and heavy parchment, 395 by 350mm. Provenance:1. Most probably from the famous Cairo Genizah, the repository of the Jewish community located in the Ben Ezra Synagogue of Fustat (established in 882 AD.). This storehouse of obsolete books fell into disuse and was forgotten until renovations to the building in 1891 opened the hoard and released some leaves onto the antiquities market. The linguist Archibald Sayce was in Cairo in 1892, and records that the Genizah was being dispersed leaf-by-leaf to dealers and collectors. Sayce repeatedly attempted to acquire the entire collection for the Bodleian, but the negotiations fell through, and he left Cairo blaming the constant inebriation of the local officials for the failure of his attempt. Subsequently, a leaf from the long-lost Hebrew version of Ecclesiasticus found its way via the redoubtable twins and early Bible hunters, Agnes Lewis and Margaret Gibson, to the Cambridge scholar Solomon Schechter. He mounted a rescue mission and acquired the remaining 140,000 fragments for Cambridge University. The discovery captivated public imagination in Europe in a way comparable only to the opening of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922. For half a century, until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, these were the oldest Hebrew manuscripts known.2. Schøyen Collection, Oslo and London, their MS 1630: acquired from Quaritch, November 1992. A sister leaf with Amos 7:11-9:8 was sold in the Schøyen sale at Sotheby's on 10 July 2012, lot 12, for £42,000, and another in our rooms with parts of Zechariah and Malachi, 10 July 2018, lot 6 for £37,500. Text:This is a noble relic of one of the earliest surviving codices of the Hebrew Bible. Its text is set in three columns and it is nearly square, the oldest extant codex format, echoing early papyrus codices, and perhaps fixed in this format from the cutting up of Ancient scrolls and binding them together down one edge. The earliest surviving Hebrew biblical books date to the ninth or tenth century, such as the surviving parts of the Aleppo Codex (c. 920, now Jerusalem, Shrine of the Book), the Damascus Pentateuch (c. 1000; also Jerusalem, Hebrew University), the St. Petersberg Codex (dated 1008/09, now National Library of Russia, MS.B19a), British Library, Or. 4445 (Pentateuch only, tenth-century), and the near complete ninth- or tenth-century codex, ex D.S. Sassoon, sold in Sotheby's, 5 December 1989, lot 69, for £2,035,000. These are the fundamental witnesses to the format of the text as selected by the Masoretic scholar, Aaron Ben-Asher (d. c. 960), in Tiberias, modern Palestine. The resulting text was accepted by Maimonides as the most accurate, and remains in use today. The late Professor Chimen Abramsky assigned the script of this leaf to the scribe of the tenth-century British Library, Or. 4445, and the lack of a eulogistic acronym for Aaron Ben-Asher in that manuscript has been taken as an indication that Ben-Ascher was alive at the time it was written. Moreover, Kahle has suggested that Or. 4445 was the work of Ben-Asher himself in the early period of his work on the text (The Cairo Genizah, 1959, pp.117-18), placing the scribe of this leaf within the circle of Ben-Asher himself, at one of the formative stages of the Hebrew Bible.

Ɵ Vergil, Georgics III:259-458 and IV:393-564, in Latin didactic hexameter verse, leaves from a decorated manuscript on parchment in situ in an Oxford binding by Dominique Pinart[England, c. 1200] Remains of two bifolia, trimmed at edges with losses to one column on each, each leaf with single column of 48 lines in an early gothic book script, with initials set apart in margin as common for verse, simple red initials with baubles and pen flicks added to their bodies, one dark pastel green initial, contemporary running titles, some contemporary marginalia, modern pencil marks giving textual notes, some staining, scuffing and small holes, else in good condition, each leaf 190 by 100mm.; in situ in binding of a copy of a printed book: William Thomas, The historie of Italie, London: Thomas Berthelet, 1549, binding of blindtooled calf, using rollstamps identified as nos. XII and XVIII in S. Gibson, Early Oxford Bindings, 1903 (see also Ker, Pastedowns in Oxford Bindings, 1955, pp. 210-11), suggesting a binding date of c. 1581 or before, sewn on 3 thongs, by Dominique Pinart, a French immigrant and the principal Oxford binder of this period, skilfully rebacked; with a letter from Neil R. Ker to a "Mr Edwards" dated 21 March 1964, noting that he had "not found Virgil before in Oxford bindings, save in one insignificant late manuscript" Provenance:1. Most probably written and decorated for English scholarly use around the turn of the thirteenth century, probably in Oxford. Later discarded and reused there for binding material at the close of the Middle Ages.2. Various English owners, with ex libris marks from "Peter ...son" in a sixteenth-century hand on the back pastedown, and another partly erased name dated 1676 on the front pastedown.3. William Charles de Meuron, 7th Earl Fitzwilliam (1872-1943): his armorial bookplate on front pastedown; his library sold in the Wentworth Woodhouse sale at Sotheby's, 27 April 1948, doubtless including this volume.4. Quaritch cat. 664 (1949), no. 289.5. Hodgson, 19 March 1964, lot 254, to "Mr. Edwards", an apparent bookseller.6. Quaritch, London, November 1991.7. Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 1395, acquired from Quaritch. Text:The celebrated Roman poet, Vergil (70-19 BC.), wrote the Georgicsc. 29 BC. for Maecenas, the ally and political agent of Octavian, to whom it was reportedly read after his return from defeating Anthony and Cleopatra in 31 BC. The text surveys the field of agriculture, namely raising crops and trees, livestock and horses and beekeeping, set within the context of farming as a noble and senatorial pursuit in Roman society. It enjoyed great popularity and had enormous literary impact from its composition onwards, surviving in numerous fifth- and sixth-century manuscripts as well as an explosion of Carolingian witnesses, these demonstrating serious study and careful correction of the text in eighth- and ninth-century France.To view a video of this item, click here.

Two Catholic documents from Reformation Scotland, leasing lands at Quhithil from the estate of the Dean of the College and Royal Chapel at Restalrig, Edinburgh, to avoid permanent confiscation at the Dissolution, issued by Cardinal Laurentius, Bishop of Prevestin, and confirmed by Johannes Dingwall, Papal Protonotary, in Latin, single sheet documents on parchment[Italy (Bologna) and Scotland (College of the Holy Trinity, Edinburgh), dated 9 January 1530 and 28 April 1530 respectively] Two large and impressive documents: (i) the Authority of Cardinal Laurentius, Bishop of Prevestin, allowing the Dean of the College and Royal Chapel at Restalrig, Edinburgh, to lease out lands at "Quhitehil", 29 long lines in a rounded Italian secretarial, calligraphic initials in uppermost line, some folds, cord tags but no seal, else excellent condition, 290+40 by 450mm.; (ii) Gargantuan charter of Johannes Dingwall, Papal Protonotary, and Willielmus Gibson, Dean of the Royal Chapel at Restalrig, Edinburgh, in Confirmation of the Charter of Cardinal Laurentius, Bishop of Prevestin, Concerning the Leasing of Lands at Quhithil, witnessed by William Preston, rector of Beltoun, Adam Franthe, Walter Turnbull, Henricus Mow, William Meldrum, Notary and William Preston, 94 long lines in the fine Scottish secretarial hand of the Papal notary Willelmus Stevinsoun of the diocese of St. Andrews (the text including the full text of the other earlier document in this lot, thereby repeating and endorsing it), flourished opening initial, red wax seal (diam. 40mm., in metal skippet, of Iohannes Dingwall, Papal protonotary, with his arms surmounted by cardinal's hat, and the inscription: "magistri johannis dingwall prothonotarii"),another seal wanting 670+23 by 650mm.; together in red folding fitted case with two levels Provenance: 1. College and Royal Chapel at Restalrig, Edinburgh, founded 1487 on the estate of the parish church of Restalrig, that founded by King James II of Scotland. The building was described by Pope Innocent VIII himself as "a sumptuous new work", and was apparently a high vaulted chapel with no central pillar, lit by large traceried windows. Papal fears of the destruction of this powerful symbol of Catholic sympathising Scotland were not misplaced, and by 1552 the prebendary houses on the site had been burned down, with the chapel itself declared by the Reformed General Assembly in 1560 "a monument to idolatrie" and ordered "raysit and utterlei castin downe and destroyed" (I. Cowan and D. Easson, Medieval Religious Houses: Scotland, 1976, pp. 224-25). The destruction process was so complete that now only the lowest level of the aisle and some small walls have survived. What stands today is a restoration of 1906. 2. Dr. Jeremy Griffiths (1955-1997) of Oxford.3. Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 1689, acquired from Dr. Griffiths in July 1993. Text and script: These two complimentary documents offer a fascinating insight into the Catholic Church's preparations on the eve of the Scottish Reformation, openly seeking to enmesh important estates at Quhithil in a complex lease to a lay sympathiser in order to isolate them from the coming depredations and seizures. As Restalrig was both a monastery and the Royal Chapel of Scotland it presumably would face such losses first, demanding the attentions here of a cardinal based in Bologna and local Catholic officials.  The script of the second document is of interest as it is by a named scribe (Papal notary Willelmus Stevinsoun of the diocese of St. Andrews) and is in the type of secretarial hand commonly used for Scottish literary manuscripts at the close of the Middle Ages, such as the copies of the Scotichronicon and the Haye and Sinclair witnesses to the Canterbury Tales (M.B. Parkes, English Cursive Bookhands, 1969, pl. 13.ii). Among scribes working in this period in Scotland, unlike those of its southern neighbour England, there was no clear division between bookhands and secretarial hands when dealing with literary manuscripts, and notaries were often employed on copying non-diplomatic texts, carrying across their usual scripts with them (see R.J. Lyall, 'Books and Book Owners in Fifteenth-Century Scotland', in J. Griffiths and D. Pearsall, Book Production and Publishing in Britain, 1375-1475, 1989, pp. 242-43).
