Ɵ Pseudo-Marcellus, Passio sanctorum Petri et Pauli, an apocryphal text based on the Acts of St. Peter, in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment[Italy (probably Bobbio), tenth century] Single leaf, with single column of 27 lines in local variant of an angular Carolingian minuscule which leans to right and has noted lateral compression, with et-ligature used integrally within words, ligature for 'ri' formed from an 'r' with a final flick of the pen descending far below the line, the hand also preserving Insular-derived features in long 'r' and a flourished 'g', very faded red rubric at head of recto, one large acanthus-leaf initial in Insular-style penwork with pale orange-red wash, formed of elaborate scrolling leafy and petal designs, reused on a later binding of a later printed book and hence with torn edges, holes, scuffs and folds, trimmed at outer vertical edge with loss of a few letters there, much of text rubbed away on reverse with later inscription "Verrati / Contra / Luther", overall presentable condition, 290 by 200mm; in cloth-covered binding A fine tenth-century witness to a rare and strange early medieval text; and probably the last surviving relic of a book recorded in the library of Bobbio Provenance: 1. Probably produced for use in the celebrated Benedictine Abbey of SS. Peter and Paul, Bobbio, in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The abbey was founded by St. Columban in 614, and by the tenth century housed one of the finest libraries in the West. While the form of the initial and other Insular influences in script here can be found in pre-Carolingian books produced in Irish foundations throughout Europe (see St. Gall, MS 51: J. Duft and P. Meyer, Irish Miniatures in the Abbey Library of St. Gall, 1954, pl. IX), the present leaf is north Italian, and in 1993 Prof. Rosamund McKitterick noted the parallels between this initial and those in tenth-century books produced at Bobbio (see for example: Milan, Bibl. Ambrosiana, E. 20 inf., a Homiliary of the tenth century: A.L. Gabriel, The Decorated Initials of the IXth-Xth Century Manuscripts from Bobbio in the Ambrosiana Library, Milano, 1982, pp. 180-1). The text is an unusual one to find in a volume on its own, and we can be certain that Bobbio did indeed have a copy as it was recorded in their tenth-century library catalogue as "libros de passione apostolorum Petri & Pauli I" (G. Becker, Catalogi Bibliothecarum Antiqui, 1885, p. 69, no. 319; note, this is the only apparent copy of this work in the whole of Becker's survey). It may well have been of particular interest to the community at Bobbio as their house was dedicated to these two saints. Thus, that may well be a contemporary record of the parent manuscript of the present leaf. Bobbio was suppressed during the Secularisation during the period of French occupation, and its books and chattels scattered.2. Sotheby's, 23 June 1993, lot 3, sold for £6900.3. Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 1679, acquired in Sotheby's. Text: This is a strange late fifth- or early sixth-century narrative, apparently intended to project Paul into the events of the Acts of St. Peter, in which it describes his journey from the island of Gaudomeleta to Rome and erroneously states that Peter was Paul's brother. It claims to have been written in part by one Marcellus; intended to be the namesake disciple of Simon Magus, whose confrontation with Peter is recorded in Acts 8:9-24. It was known to Jacobus de Voragine, and widely disseminated in the West in the Middle Ages, appearing in two Anglo-Saxon translations (Ælfric's Passio Apostolorum Petri et Pauli and Blickling homily no. 15, Spel Be Petrus & Paulus).

Leaf from a collection of Homilies on St. Peter and the Ascension by SS. Augustine and Jerome, in Latin, leaf from a monumentally large lectern manuscript on parchment[northern Italy (perhaps the Veneto), c. 1200] Single leaf, with single column of 49 lines in a notably rounded and squat gothic bookhand which appears Italian on first inspection, capitals touched with red penstrokes, red rubrics, initials in split red bars or with geometric designs left within their bodies in blank parchment with foliate penwork additions in dark green, small marginalia underlined in looping red penwork, later medieval folio no. "xliii" in upper outer corner, reused on a binding and with folds, small scuffs and one large circular stain from an overflowing container of some dark liquid being placed on the centre of the leaf, overall fair and presentable condition, a few modern pencil notes (some in French), 530 by 330mm.; in cloth-covered card binding Provenance: 1. Kraus list 189 (1958), no. 211.2. Sotheby's 21 June 1994, lot 4 (part).3. Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 1854, acquired at Sotheby's. Text and script:The script and decoration here present a number of puzzling questions on first inspection. The initials, with their cascading bunches of penwork surround, find close parallels in examples from the Low Countries and adjacent northern France, while the script has strong influences from rounded and squat Italian hands, while remaining distinct from them. Thus, in 1994 it was catalogued as Italian, with the tentative suggestion that instead it might be from neighbouring southern France or northern Spain instead.In fact, such features are found in Gothic manuscripts from Venice and the Veneto (cf. the Statuti e leggi di venezia, of c. 1250, sold in Semenzato, 25 April 2003, lot 28, and a Romance collection including the Chanson de Roland of late thirteenth-century Venetian origin, now in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, fr. V.7), perhaps locating this leaf to that region. Manuscript leaves from the Veneto of this great age are extremely rare to the market.

Ɵ Leaf from a collection of Bulls of Pope Boniface VIII, in Latin, from a large manuscript on parchment[northern France (probably Paris), c. 1300] Bifolium, each leaf with double column of 55 lines in a fluent and rapidly written gothic bookhand (textualis currens), typical of Parisian academic books, some small marginalia, spaces left for rubrics, section of parchment lost from blank margin at foot of first leaf, recovered from the binding of a printed copy of Panormitanus, Lectura super V libris Decretalium, Basel: Bernard Richel, 1480-1481, some scuffing and water damage to second leaf causing illegibility in places there, overall fair condition, 380 by 270mm.; in cloth-covered binding Provenance:1. Written in Paris c. 1300, and by the closing decades of the fifteenth century discarded and reused as binding material in Trier. While in its new home at the front of an incunable, a five-line inscription was added to the foot of the first leaf, recording that Brother Paulus de Muntzdail, when still a novice of St. Alban outside the walls of Trier, presented a printed copy of Panormitanus, Lectura super V libris Decretalium (and the manuscript leaves reused in its binding) as well as other books to his monastic house, and arranged in the presence of a notary that none of his books should be lent outside his monastery except with special permission, on a temporary basis, and with the restriction of a written warranty. Other books from this gift survive in Yale, Rare Book 36 00-0080, a Bernardo Bottoni, Casus longi super quinque librios decretalium, Basel: Michel Wenssler, c. 1473; University of Glasgow, Hunterian Special Collections, Be.2 19, a Lactantius printed in Venice in 1479; and Hunterian Special Collections, Cm. 1.4, a Plutarch printed in Strassburg in 1473-75; all with identical inscriptions in the same hand. Paulus de Muntzdail held a doctorate in Canon Law and before moving to Trier to become a Carthusian, he served as the provost of the Church of Saint Mary in Flanheim, and the rector of the parish church in Kreuznach near Mainz. He died in 1487.2. Carthusian Monastery of St. Alban, Trier (founded 1335, surviving until 1673, when it was suppressed during warfare with the French, and the community moved to Merzlich, then known as Konz-Karthaus, before suppression during the Secularisation, after which its goods and chattles were sold in 1805). 3. Jacques Rosenthal (1854-1937), passing after his sudden death to Hans Koch, who took over the business.4. Bernard Rosenthal (1920-2017), San Francisco, California, his I/124, acquired in 1960. 5. Quaritch cat. 1147, Bookhands of the Middle Ages V, 1991, no. 106.6. Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 724, acquired from Quaritch in March 1991. Text:The leaves here contain parts of Pope Boniface VIII's bulls of 7 April 1295; 8 April 1295 nullifying certain exceptions privileges granted by Pope Nicholas IV; 8 April 1295 nullifying privileges granted by the popes, Celestine and Honorius IV; followed by a short legal commentary.

Record of the cession by Huc Viel to Guilhem Guirande of certain estates and vineyards and their profits, in Provençal, manuscript document on parchment[Provence, dated 1294] Single-sheet, with 21 long lines in a round and scrolling secretarial hand, penwork knot at foot in place of a notarial symbol, small circular mark in upper right hand corner (perhaps glue from old collection label), some signs of folds and small losses at lower edge and 2 small holes in centre (the larger affecting 3 lines of text), archival endorsements in seventeenth- or eighteenth-century hand on reverse, overall fair and presentable condition, 180 by 300mm.; in fitted burgundy cloth-covered case Provenance: Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 1592; acquired from Quaritch, London, in July 1992. Text: Early manuscripts in any form of Old French are rare before the late thirteenth century, and many of the early witnesses are charters (see those in our rooms, 8 July 2015, lot 29 and 9 December 2015, lot 92). However, examples of any version of the Old Provençal language, the earliest recorded form of the Occitano-Romance languages and thus the language of the troubadours, are far rarer.

‡ Short quotations from Isocrates, Ad Demonicum, 9, and Menander, Sententia, in Attic Greek, in Greek cursive and capitals, manuscript on large polished wooden tablet doubtless produced as part of a scribal teaching exercise[Egypt, late fourth or early fifth century] Rectangular wooden tablet, used lengthways, with single column of 5 long lines plus a single word on a sixth line in a clear and sloping Greek cursive on one side and a further 2 lines in large Greek capitals on the reverse, one hole at head of board in middle (perhaps for suspension), wood with slight scuffing in places and one small loss of a section at its foot (without affect to text), 140 by 138 by 10mm.; in blue cloth covered folding case A remarkably rare ephemeral witness to the practical teaching of novice scribes in Graeco-Roman Egypt, on wood, a material of such value in Egypt that few survive Provenance:1. Prof. Dr. Pieter Johannes Sijpestein (1934-1996) of Baarn, near Amsterdam; his collection known as the Moen collection (his wife's maiden name), and almost certainly acquired by him in the European and American trade in the 1960s to early 1980s. Much of his collection passing after his death to the University of Austin, Texas, as well as Syracuse University, New York. This his inventory no. 78, and published in Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik in 1983 (see below).2. Bonhams, 29 April 1991, lot 77, to Sam Fogg.3. Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 1359, acquired June 1991. Text and script:This is a 'wooden leaf tablet' employed in Antiquity as a writing master's template for scribal teaching in an important and wealthy scriptorium. Cribiore comprehensively discusses their use from pharaonic Egypt onwards (pp. 65-72), and the value of the raw material - as Egypt produced little wood. Here we have the refined master-scribe's hand copying out the quotation from Isocrates (436-338 BC.; here "... and he exposed his spirit to dangers. Nor did he display an ill-timed craving for wealth, but he enjoyed the good things present like one who was going to die, yet cared for his property as if he was immortal"), the father of rhetorical Greek and founder of the Athenian academy in the Lyceum, on one side in cursive, for students to copy onto papyrus. The pierced hole at the top of the board allowed it to be strung together with other such templates, and handed around the class for copying time and time again. To this, a student has added on its reverse the extract from the Greek dramatist Menander (c. 342/41-c. 290 BC.) in slightly clumsy capitals with a few erasures, finishing this with his initials. The format of such teaching aids has remained relatively unchanged in the region from the Ancient World until the last century (see the 'cricket bat' shaped writing tablet produced in Morocco in the early twentieth century, offered as lot 46 in our 31 March Islamic sale this year [auction moved to 12 June]). As noted by Sijpestein and Agosti (the latter in Pintaudi, p. 38) the combination of Isocrates and Menander here is also found in a poem of Dioscorus of Aphrodito (d. sixth century) and their use together in teaching may well have been ingrained in Ptolemaic Egypt and the Byzantine world. Sijpestein in 1983 dated this piece to the seventh century, and that date was followed by Cribiore in her survey, but it has been recently and convincingly redated to "la fine del IV o addirittura l'inizio del V seculo" by G. Agosti (in Pintaudi, no. 11). This accords well with other surviving examples which appear to cluster in those centuries (see Cribiore, nos. 83, 146 and 317, with slightly earlier examples in 292, 296 and 333). Published:P.J. Sijpestein, 'Isokrates, Ad Demonicum 9 und Ein Monostichon Menandri auf Einer Holztafel', Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 52 (1983), pp. 291-92.R.

Archive of the Bishop of Orkney, in the cathedral of St. Magnus, Kirkwall, the most northerly cathedral in the United Kingdom built in the twelfth century when the Orkneys were under the control of a Norse earl and the overlordship of the king of Norway. Orkney was annexed by the Scottish Crown in 1458, and thus passing in 1603 into a union with England. Adam Bothwell (c. 1527-1593) served as its bishop since 1559, and held office during the Scottish Reformation. He also held high office as a member of the Privy Council of Scotland. He is buried at Holyrood. 2. June O'Donnell (d. 1979) of Guilford, who also owned the Calendar of the Hungerford Hours (having purchased that from Alan Thomas in 1970, now British Library, Addit.

Only one manuscript from their medieval library is known to us: a late thirteenth-century copy of Pope Innocent III, De miseria condiciones humanae, now Uppsala University Library, MS C 233. Charters are equally rare, and there is little remaining in the cathedral archive before the seventeenth century.
