Estimation : 150 / 150
Adjudication : Invendu
Description
vellum ff., c. 10,5/10 x 15 cm, taken from a binding (some soiling and sm. holes). In good condition. A religious or mystical allegory (?), perhaps from the Languedoc: “la uoie de prudence”, “ensengne de la diuine ymagine”, “dame mere eglise”, “ton exil del ciel”, “gardes ne someilhent”, “la raison de ceste songe”, “troeuer la grace de si grand espous”. Needs to be studied. Joined : Fragment of large manuscript leaf (France?, 15th c.), taken from a binding and very def. (stained, torn, wrinkled, tears and holes). One initial in blue and red with penwork extending into the margin. The text appears to be (Pseudo-) Abdias of Babylon, “Historia certaminis apostolici” (History of the Apostolic Contest), a 10th-c. New Testament Apocryph (“Post mysteria autem facta prostrauit se ad pedes Beati Clementis Theodora dicans virum suum curam agentem ...”).
