The Astronomical Compendium of San Cristoforo, - Turin, including Regiomontanus, Calendarium Turin, including Regiomontanus,  Calendarium  , as well as other related texts, in Latin, decorated manuscript on paper and parchment [northern Italy (probably Turin), last decades of the fifteenth century (perhaps c. 1474)] 61 leaves (including 3 endleaves at front and 2 at back, plus last 4 leaves of text blank), complete, collation: i6, ii6, iii6, iv10 (first leaf a parchment insert, that pasted to a singleton which forms last leaf of bifolium), v3 (last leaf a parchment singleton), vi10, vii14, catchwords present, single column, c. 35 lines in a small but fine and legible hand which shows the influence of humanist script, rubrics in red, astronomical symbols in faded purple, 2-line initials in simple blue or red and blue with contrasting penwork, spaces left for other initials, 10 pages of diagrams illustrating the phase  of lunar and solar eclipses for the years 1475-1530 (3 pages left in trick), 2 parchment leaves with 4 full-page diagrams, one a volvelle (middle ring wanting), others an  Instrumentum horar[i]um inequalium  with a list of planetary bodies, a  Quadrans horologii horizontalis  and a  Quadratum horarium generale   with designations for latitude and longitude, 2 pages of calculatory diagrams with text in red and purple ink and 2 further volvelle diagrams on either side of a paper leaf, a series of near-contemporary calculation numbers added down side of one diagram, some small stains and smudges, splits to edges of a few endleaves, small amount of wormholes, overall good condition, 206 by 147mm., in contemporary light coloured leather over pasteboards, circular marks scored into boards showing places of lost metal bosses, some scuffs, worm and losses at corners, spine skilfully rebacked Provenance:  (1) Most probably written and illustrated for Brother Antonius  de lanteo  (doubtless a member of the medieval Turin  de Lanceo  family), an inmate of the Augustinian monastery of San Cristoforo, Turin: his inscription at head of recto of first leaf of Calendar  S[an]c[t]i Cristofori Taurini Ad usu[m] fr[atr]is Anto[ni]i de lanteo . The Calendar of Regiomontanus  work has been adapted during copying to include Augustinian saints and exclude the German and Bohemian ones usually found there. (2) Joseff Greg[o]ri[o] da Bologna: his seventeenth-century inscription on back cover. (3) Guglielmo Libri (1803-69), Italian polymath and grand bibliophile, who held offices as professor of Mathematical Physics at Pisa and of Calculus at the Sorbonne, and then Chief Inspector of French Libraries from 1841. This last role eventually brought him notoriety as a book thief, and he fled to England. Before and after this he had acted as a legitimate dealer in books and manuscripts, and doubtless he acquired the present volume in Italy. It was lot 92 in his sale at Sotheby s, 28 March 1859. (4) Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872), the greatest book collector to have ever lived, who assembled a vast collection numbering several tens of thousands of items, accumulating in a single lifetime more manuscripts than Oxford and Cambridge together; his MS. 16242 (his pencil  Ph  number and pen  Phillipps Ms 16242  inside front board; his sale at Sotheby s, 5 June 1899 ( Bibliotheca Phillippica   XI), lot 75 (sale catalogue cutting glued to front endleaf). (5) Samuel Verplank Hoffman (1866-1942), who studied astronomy and taught it at John Hopkins University before taking over his family s business empire, and was a member of the New York Historical Society from 1901 until his death, serving as its president from 1903 (they have a portrait of him from 1907) and a member of the Grolier Club: his armorial bookplate inside front board. It was probably sold soon after his death, on  July 28, 1944  (pencil date inside front board). The Smithsonian acquired his collection of astrolabes in 1959. Text: This is an important witness to the study of astronomy in Turin in the fifteenth century, which is contemporary or near-contemporary with the life of the celebrated astronomer Regiomontanus. It is among a tiny handful of early copies of his crucial  Calendarium   (here fols.1v-32v, and giving information on lunar and solar eclipses for 1475-1530, as well as the length of days and signs of the zodiac and planets), and is the earliest known Italian manuscript of the text. It is now the only recorded copy left in private hands. Regiomontanus  virtuoso career straddled the transition from manuscript to early print, and thus his works are of the greatest rarity in handwritten copies. He was born Johannes Müller in 1436 in the Franconian market town of Königsberg (the name Regiomontanus was first coined by Philipp Melanchthon in 1534). His first known accomplishment, as  a 13-year-old student in Leipzig, was the production of a set of planetary tables vastly more accurate and impressive than Gutenberg s own  Astronomical Calendar of 1448 . He became a pupil of Georg von Peuerbach (1423-61) in Vienna, and continued that scholar s work in astronomy, mathematics and instrument making. On Peuerbach s insistence, Regiomontanus followed his mentor into the service of the  humanist papal legate and book collector Basilios Bessarion and spent much of the 1460s splitting his time between Bessarion s household there and the courts of Archbishop Janos Vitez and King Matthius Corvinus in Hungary. It was in these years that he honed his notion that what astrology lacked was precision, and began his prolific writing career, moving in 1471 to Nuremberg, an imperial cultural centre, and founding his own printing press, the first dedicated to astronomy and mathematics. He died soon after, while on a trip to Rome in 1475-76. It is most probably his foundation of a printing press that ensured so few of his works were transmitted in manuscript, as his work moved in many cases seamlessly from his own rough copy to incunable. The only two manuscript copies to come to the market in living memory are this one and that sold by Kraus to Irene and Peter Ludwig, and thence to the Getty, later sold to the late Laurence Schoenberg, and now in Princeton University ( Transformations of Knowledge  , 2006, LJS. 300, p. 74, deposited in Princeton since 2011). The Schoenberg manuscript has been dated variously from  c  .1470 to  c  .1500, and was most probably in the library of Lambach Abbey, Austria. Both it and  the present copy are prestigious  de luxe   copies, rather than hastily copied scholar s working copies. Neither can be definitively dated to either before or after the emergence of the printed edition of 1474, and both agree closely with that witness (the present manuscript differs only in the alterations to the Calendar and in the placement of the diagram of the  Quadrans Horologii horizontalis   and the  Quadratum horarium generale   later in the sequence). Both might be copies of Regiomontanus  lost exemplar (which as it was produced for direct printing is likely to have been near-identical in layout to the incunable). That may have been circulated among associates and fellow astronomers immediately before the printing, and Antonio de Lanteo was plausibly a friend of the author perhaps met during his long travels in northern Italy. Or they could be copies made for monastic libraries soon after 1474,  but then we must believe that these libraries could afford to source a copy of the incunable and produce  de luxe   copies of it, but apparently could not afford to purchase a printed copy. The study on the relationship of these early manuscript witnesses to the printed text has yet to be written, but it is clear that no such study can afford to ignore the present manuscript. The other short texts at the end here are no less interesting or intriguing, and include a large number not apparently recorded elsewhere.

The Hours of Gabrielle d’Estrées, - Use of Paris, illuminated manuscript in Latin and French on... Use of Paris, illuminated manuscript in Latin and French on parchment [northern France (Paris), c. 1480] 150 leaves (plus 2 original endleaves at front), complete, collation: i-xi8, xii6, xiii-xvii8, xviii6, xix10 (the last quire including last endleaf and pastedown), catchwords, single column, 20 lines in an angular letter batârde, capitals touched in red, red rubrics, small initials in liquid gold on burgundy, pale blue or brown grounds, line-fillers in same, larger initials accompanying three-quarter miniatures in white scrolls on burgundy grounds enclosing foliage sprays on brightly burnished gold ground, Obsecro te on fol.17v with three-quarter border of coloured acanthus leaf and other foliage, undersides of leaves heightened in dull-gold, 8 quarter-page miniatures (for Hours of the Virgin after Matins: fols.37v, Lauds; 47r, Prime; 51r, Terce; 54v, Sext; 58r, Nones; 61v, Vespers; and 68r, Compline) with three-quarter borders as before, 6 three-quarter page arch-topped miniatures with figures and draperies heightened with liquid gold strokes, and with borders of foliage on dull-gold and blank parchment shapes, some thumbing to a small number of borders with only significant smudge in border of fol.107r, slightly trimmed at edges with damage to catchwords and loss of outer vertical borders up to edges of decoration on some miniature pages, later coloured printed faces within architectural frames pasted to front endleaves, 152 by 105mm., late seventeenth-century French binding of dark leather over pasteboards, profusely gilt-tooled with floral sprays and s shapes within 2 rows of double fillet, cracking at spine edges, but solid in binding, fitted cloth covered slipcase Provenance: (1) Written and illuminated for a Parisian patron in the late fifteenth century, perhaps the young woman who is shown being struck down by a skeletal death on fol.107r. (2) Evidently later in the library of Gabrielle d Estrées, King Henry IV of France s mistress, devoted companion and intended second wife, who died in childbirth before their marriage in 1599. She is the presumed subject of the painting Gabrielle d Estrées et une de ses soeurs of 1594, now in the Louvre, in which she and her sister sit half-naked in a bath as she holds Henry s coronation ring in her fingertips. An inscription in French of the seventeenth-century on the inside of the front pastedown here, describing this book as manuscrit a[ve]c armes de Gabrielle d Estrees (the arms presumably once on the previous binding), and recording its provenance as from the chateau de Prince de Conde . Text: The volume comprises: a Calendar (fol.1r); the Gospel readings (fol.13r); the Obsecro te (fol.17v); the Hours of the Virgin, with Matins (fol.21r), Lauds (fol.37v), Prime (fol.47r), Terce (fol.51r), Sext (fol.54v), Nones (fol.58r), Vespers (fol.61v) and Compline (fol.68r); the Seven Penitential Psalms (fol.77r) followed by a Litany and prayers; the Hours of the Cross (fol.101r); the Hours of the Holy Spirit (fol.104r); the Office of the Dead (fol.107r); Suffrages to SS. Christopher, John the Baptist, Genevieve, and Mary Magdalene, followed by prayers to the Virgin. The endleaves at the back are filled with near-contemporary prayers. Illumination: This artist was a follower of Maître Francois ( fl . c.1460-80), and employs this artist s stylistic facial types with pale skin tones and rosy cheeks, angular interior architectural details and gold highlighting of the draperies. His work was the foremost influence on the Parisian book arts in the early decades of the second half of the fifteenth century. The scene of Death here as a skeletal corpse, striking down a young woman before an open charnel house, with skulls staring on, is a rare and grisly one, and was perhaps meant to frighten the young woman depicted away from potential sin. The large miniatures comprise: (1) fol.13r, St. John seated in a grassy landscape, writing on a scroll, as his attribute the eagle appears to him; (2) fol.21r, the Annunciation to the Virgin in a richly decorated gothic room, with a small bird in the margin; (3) fol.77r, David kneeling at the foot of a hill as God appears to him in the sky above; (4) fol.101r, the Crucifixion, with a small yellow bird in the border; (5) fol.104r, the Pentecost in a detailed gothic interior; (6) fol.107r, Death as a tall corpse wrapped in a white shroud, lifting a spear aloft to strike a young woman in blue dress, as she staggers back in horror, the whole scene set in a grassy space before a half-timbered charnel house, with the skulls of the dead stacked up inside the rafters of the building.
