Lucan. Pharsalia,in Latin verse, mansucript on paper, [northern Italy (possibly Padua), first half of the fifteenth century] 149 leaves (including defective leaves and three blanks), 294mm by 217mm, lacking three gatherings at the beginning and leaves designated '123', '154' and '157', else complete (except that leaves towards the end are so increasingly fragmentary that very little text remains), collation: i-iv10, v3 [apparently of 4, modern pencil foliation assumed it was of 10, which is improbable, 3 blank, iv cancelled], vi-ix10, x9 [of 10, lacking iii], xi-xii10, xiii8. [of 10, lacking iv and vii], xiv-xv10, xvi9 [of 10, x cancelled], with horizontal catchwords within radiating flourishes, traces of alphabetical leaf signatures, modern pencil foliation (followed here) takes account of missing leaves and presumed cancels, 20 lines, ruled in plummet, written-space 168mm by 100mm, written by several scribes mostly in a gothic bookhand, fol.71 in a sloping humanistic cursive, (perhaps an early replacement), first initials of each line in flourished gothic capitals set slightly apart from the textblock, the letters rubricated on fols.113v-115r only, simplified T-O map of the world drawn on fol.157v, showing Europe, Asia, Egypt, Liberia, the Nile, etc, very extensively glossed throughout in several cursive and semi-humanistic hands, a pentrial in Italian on fol.79v, some stains and creases, very worn and extensively conserved, many defective margins repaired (including the first two), by fol.152 the marginal defects begin to creep into the text area and from then on the text is increasingly defective so that by fol.179 only inner ribbons survive, all skilfully repaired with toned paper, contemporary binding of wooden boards sewn onto three leather thongs (replaced), covered with reversed leather ruled into a frame and saltire pattern, nine metal bosses on upper cover, stubs (only) of two clasps held by pairs of metal pins, trace of medieval title on upper cover '[Lu]canus', lower cover mostly missing, binding very worn and repaired, modern paper endleaves, in a half red morocco and marbled paper book box Provenance: The watermark is a hunting horn, of the type of Briquet 7684 (Padua 1416-20, and elsewhere to c.1430). From the de Polo collection (bought from Rizzi, 1981, previously owned by Govi, 1980); sale at Semenzato, 5 May 2003, lot 49; sale at Sotheby's, 5 July 2005, lot 84. Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65 A.D.), was a nephew of both the philosopher Seneca and of Gallio, deputy of Achaia, who interviewed Saint Paul (Acts 18:12-17). Lucan became court poet to Nero, who eventually out of jealousy of his literary ability commanded Lucan to kill himself at the age of 26. The Pharsalia is his only surviving work, and is the greatest Latin epic after the Aeneid. It is a poem in ten books on the wars between Caesar and Pompey and includes good accounts of Spain and Egypt, with notable digressions on Roman and Egyptian religion. The present manuscript opens in Book II, line 396, Umbrosis mediam qua collibus , continuing with Books III (fol.40v), and IV (fol.60r). This breaks off on fol.70v at line 437; lines 438-50 are in a slightly later hand. There is no Book V and the alphabetical leaf signatures do not allow for it. The poem continues with Books VI (fol.81r), VII (fol.102r), VIII (fol.124r), IX (fol.145v) and X (fol.175r). The last leaves are very defective. The ends of the words visible on fol.188v are remains of lines 531-39, which allows for the text to have ended correctly at line 546 on that page. There must have been a verse colophon at the top of fol.189r, of which only a few words remain. (1)
