Twelfth century English Bible.- Five large fragments from a giant Latin Bible, decorated manuscript on parchment, five strips from a single large bifolium, each c. 395 x 60 mm, three strips cut horizontally from bifolium, two vertically, remains of double column, up to 41 lines, finely written in two different sizes in an English early gothic hand, in black ink, small initials alternating in green and red, three larger initials in green, blue, and red, the latter holding baubles, numbered in pencil by N.R. Ker in July 1974, all re-used in binding, therefore somewhat defective, a few scuffs and folds; discoloured in places, England, early 12th century.⁂ These five large vertical cuttings, once in the famous library of Ampleforth Abbey, are all that survive of a lost monumental English Romanesque Bible, written in two columns on thick parchment of excellent quality. The most complete fragment contains 41 lines, and in all likelihood only one line of text is missing: we can therefore suggest that the original leaf measured at least 456 mm by 315 mm. Manuscript English Bibles with similar or comparable dimensions can be counted on one hand: the Bury Bible (c. 1130, 525 x 320 mm; Cambridge, Corpus Christi College MS 211); the Lambeth Bible (c. 1150, 520 x 325 mm; Lambeth Palace, MS 3), the Lothian Bible (c. 1220, 470 x 320mm; New York, Pierpont Morgan Library MS 791), while the Northumberland Bible (c. 1250-60; sold at Sotheby's, 8 July 2014, lot 49) measured 'only' 325 mm by 210 mm.The fragments offered here are from the capitula of I Maccabees; they contain the text of 1:3-62 and 4:18-5 and 23, and include part of the running title 'liber' in the upper margin on one leaf, and instructions for the rubricator ('expliciunt capitula. Incipit ad maccabeorum').Fragments from English Romanesque Giant Bibles are of the greatest rarity, and only two are recorded in private hands. In Ker's census Fragments of Medieval Manuscripts Used as Pastedowns in Oxford Bindings (2004), among the 2,200 fragments recorded, not a single one is from a twelfth- century English Bible of similar size. Provenance: From the library of Ampleforth Abbey (MS 281; see N. R. Ker, Medieval Manuscripts in British Libraries, 1977, vol. 2, p. 43); Sotheby's, 7 December 2010, lot 14.

Aristotle.- Disputations to Aristotle's Analytica priora and Analytica posteriora, manuscript on paper, in Latin, 436 leaves, collation: 1-512, 64, 7-1012, 1112-1, 12-1412, 1512-1, 1612-3, 17-1912, 2016, 21-3412, 3516, 36-3712, 3812, 4-leaf quire (blank) bound in at beginning, the first leaf used as a pastedown, plus additional 12-leaf blank quire at end with last leaf used as a pastedown, unfoliated, catchwords located in lower margin on last page of almost all quires, text block: 140 x 90mm., single column, 17 lines, ruled in blind, neatly written by a single Italian hand throughout in brown ink, a few shoulder notes in the same hand, fine calligraphic headings introducing each disputation, engraving signed by the Flemish artist Pierre Firens (mostly active as an engraver and print dealer in Lyon and Paris, with the inscription 'Suscipit eximiam caeli regina coronam' (not included in collation and foliation)) bound in as frontispiece, a few tiny holes in blank margins not affecting text, minor foxing and browning in places, a few spots to blank margin of some leaves, sporadic small ink stains and insignificant paper flaws, lower margin of last leaves water-stained, contemporary limp vellum, traces of fabric ties on fore-edge, smooth spine with running stitches, covers slightly stained, losses to fore- and lower-edge, 180 x 131 mm., Milan, 1601.⁂ The manuscript contains an apparently unrecorded series of disputationes on Aristotle's logic, and was written in Milan by a certain Matteo Oldelli in 1601 (see the date 'die p.a mensis Maij 1601', on fol. 24/2r).Matteo was probably a member of the Oldelli family living in Meride and Lugano in the Canton of Ticino in Switzerland, and at that time the pupil of a certain father Tommaso Cerroni or Cerrone, as some inscriptions in the volume - such as 'Mediolani apud Matth. Oldel.' (fol. 5/2r), 'Finis tractatus de sub.ia die 3.° Mensis Julij. Mediolani apud Patrem Thomam Ceroneam' (fol. 5/2v), or "Matthaeus Oldellus scripsit sub Patre Thoma Ceroneo Mediolani" (fol. 29/9r) - suggest. We cannot prove with certainty the identities of this student or his teacher, but on some pages Oldelli has drawn the device of Jesus' Sacred Heart (e.g. fols. 3/4r, and 29/9v), a devotion which had been propagated by the Society of Jesus. This feature suggests the production of this manuscript was within the Jesuit academic milieu, and more likely, the Jesuit College in Milan.Furthermore, the study of the Aristoteles Latinus was very relevant to the curriculum at Jesuit colleges and universities, as prescribed in the Constitution by the founder of the order, Ignatius of Loyola. Teachers had developed a well-ordered and clear system of exercises, in the form of disputationes, or disputed questions, a didactic tool which represents a veritable workhorse of Jesuit education. In this manuscript the texts under discussion are the Analytica priora and the Analytica posteriora, which contain the fundamental principles of Aristotle's logic, and had been widely disputed even into the 17th century. Each question deals with a basic principle - like the notions of predicaments, relation, or enunciation - and is introduced by Aristotle's text, or a summary of it. A detailed discussion follows. The manuscript offered here shows how Aristotle's works were studied, as well as Jesuit methodology in philosophical teaching.

"The Nugent Manuscript Archive"Including Letters on 1798 Rebellion in Co. CorkCo's Westmeath and Cork: [Nugent Manuscript] A very important Archive of Documents, Bonds, Judgements, Rentals, Leases, Conveyances, Receipts, Accounts, Letters, Printed Broadsides and Sranks, relating to the Nugent Estate of Clonlost, Killucan, County Westmeath and the Barony of Orrery and Kilmore in County Cork dating from 1654 to 1846.

All the documents arranged in chronological order in a Collins No. 702 album. Folio. Bound in papered boards. Some documents have been professionally restored. Titled in gilt on spine 'Nugent MS'. All in very good to fine condition. The Archive consists of numerous documents from the mid-17th Century to the mid-19th Century, the earliest dated 2nd September 1654. In all, there are fifteen documents from the 17th Century. There are eleven documents from the 18th Century, in addition seventeen items relating to the 1798 Rebellion. These include important letters (five) from the Lieutenant General Sir John Moore to Major Nugent, Westmeath Militia, Officer Commanding Skibbereen. The Battle of the Big Cross was an engagement in the Irish Rebellion fought between the United Irishmen and a column of British Troops. It was fought at a site about four miles east of Clonakility, in West Cork and it was the only battle fought in the Rebellion in Cork or indeed the whole of Munster. After the attempted landing of the French fleet at Bantry Bay in 1796 the British Establishment was shaken to its core. In response, troops were garrisoned all over West Cork, and in early 1798 Sir John Moore (Moore of Corunna) was given command of 3000 British Troops in that area. In addition a detachment of Westmeath militia was stationed in Clonakility, under Lieutenant Colonel Sir Hugh O'Reilly. This section is particularly interesting throwing new light on the '98 Rebellion. The archive concludes with thirty one items from the 19th Century, plus approximately 130 Free Frank Fronts of Irish and English Peers. As a m/ss., w.a.f. \The family of Nugent is descended from the Norman family of Nogent de Rotrou, a scion of the illustrious House of Bellesme, in Normandy. Two brothers of that family, Gilbert and Hugh de Nugent, accompanied William the Conqueror and fought with him at the Battle of Hastings. In 1172 during the reign of Henry II, Sir Gilbert de Nugent, with his brothers Adam, Richard, Christopher and John, came in the expedition to Ireland in the army of Sir Hugh de Lacy. Large tracts of lands in the County of Meath were granted by the king to Sir Hugh de Lacy, to hold of the Crown by Knight's service. De Lacy in appreciation of his brave and signal services gave to Sir Gilbert his sister Rosa in marriage, and, as a portion with her the Barony of Delvin to him and his heirs with all the appurtenances and towns (except the village of Torrochelack, belonging to the Abbot of Foure).The Nugent family of Clonlost were descended from the 3rd Baron Delvin of Donore. According to one of the letters i this collection. Thomas Nugent, Esq., of Clonlost erected a monument in the old church of Clonlost for the internment of himself, and Ismay Nugent, his wife, daughter of Theobald Nugent, Esq., of Newhaggard, County Meath, and for the said Thomas Nugent's family.
