Schavys of Brussels (tiny armorial stamp on endleaf at back), tooled brown leather with Dutch devotional inscriptions over wooden boards, with two working metal clasps, fitted green leather suede-lined case Provenance:1. Almost certainly written in Zwolle, probably under the supervision of the Brethren of the Common Life there, and perhaps made for a woman from the region of Utrecht. The garbled saints in the Calendar (with ‘Sarijs’ for ‘Marijs’ on 19 January, and others) identify this volume as a member of the homogenous group of about sixty manuscripts shown by L. Wierda to have been produced by a single workshop in Zwolle (De Sarijs-handschriften, 1995). The manuscript in question here is part of her ‘Germaen-subgroup’ (ibid. p. 58, chart 8C). She argued that these manuscripts, mostly Books of Hours in Dutch, were produced under the direct supervision of the Brethren of the Common Life in the Gregoriushuis in Zwolle, and probably executed by pupils of the nearby Domus Parva (ibid., p. 169).2. Probably in Flemish private ownership in the nineteenth century: notes on contents on first endleaves in that language, and most probably bound then in Brussels.3. Joern Guenther, Faith and Knowledge, Brochure 12 (2011), no. 17 (also included in the same dealer’s twenty-five anniversary publication of 2015, Parchment and Gold, no. 66). Text: This handsome and appealing volume comprises: a Calendar (fol. 1r); the Hours of the Virgin (“Getijde van de Heilige Junkfrouwe”, fol. 13r), with a leaf misbound in Prime (see above); the Long Hours of the Cross (“Lange Cruus Ghetide”, fol. 44r); the Hours of the Holy Spirit (“Heilighe Gheest Tyde”, fol. 64r); the Hours of the Holy Wisdom (“Die ewighe wijsheit ghetide”, fol. 86r), the Seven Penitential Psalms (fol. 105r) wanting first leaf due to misbinding (see above), followed by a Litany; the Office of the Dead (fol. 122r) and prayers. Illumination:The cycle of historiated initials here is shared with eight other manuscripts studied by Wierda. As noted above, these works were collectively produced in workshops of large numbers of constantly changing personnel, but what sets the present codex apart is the hand of an accomplished and experienced artist who can be seen in the skilled and detailed studies of faces and bodies in the Virgin and Child (fol. 13r) and Pentecost (fol. 64r).The initials comprise: (i) fol. 13r, initial ‘H’ enclosing Virgin and Child on a silver crescent moon, with full decorated border enclosing two winged angels; (ii) fol. 44r, initial ‘H’ enclosing Christ as the Man of Sorrows, border with two angels carrying instruments of Passion; (iii) fol. 64r, initial ‘H’ with Pentecost, with the Virgin surrounded by followers as the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a dove; (iv) fol. 86r, initial ‘M’ with Christ wryly smiling as he holds a hand up in blessing and holds an open book; (v) fol. 122r, initial ‘M’ with Adam and Eve naked, standing in each compartment with hands clasped in prayer, border with a skull encircled by a scroll inscribed “O mensche bedenct Aldus moty werden”.Ɵ Indicates that the lot is subject to buyer’s premium of 24% exclusive of VAT (0% VAT).
