Abstract

Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition qui a lieu au musée Anne-de-Beaujeu à Moulins du 18 mars au 18 septembre 2022. Voici cinq cents ans, le 14 novembre 1522, s'éteignait dans l'ombre et dans le silence des tours du château de Chantelle, loin des fastes et de l'affairement de la cour qui l'avaient vue s'épanouir, Anne de France, dame de Beaujeu, duchesse du Bourbonnais et d'Auvergne, fille et sœur de rois de France. Ce fut une mort discrète, semblable à sa naissance à Génappe, en Brabant, aux environs de 1461-1462, où son père Louis, alors dauphin, accompagné de son épouse Charlotte de Savoie et en profond désaccord avec le roi Charles VII, avait trouvé refuge. Une mort en tout contraire à la vie trépidante menée par cette princesse aux multiples facettes. Anne de France fut en effet femme de pouvoir, dame diplomate, mère et éducatrice, princesse humaniste, mécène et commanditaire avertie

Abstract

In 1561-62, Georg Bocskay, imperial secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, inscribed the Mira calligraphiae monumenta as a testament to his preeminence among scribes. He assembled a vast selection of contemporary and historical scripts, which nearly thirty years later were further embellished by Joris Hoefnagel, Europe's last great manuscript illuminator. This book, now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, is reproduced here in complete facsimile form, accompanied by a commentary that includes a full description; a discussion of its patron, Rudolf II, and his cultural and historical milieu; the biographies of Hoefnagel and Bocskay; and an analysis of the manuscript's role in their careers. The introduction discusses the broader issues raised by the manuscript. Topics include Hoefnagel's nature imagery, which encompasses plants, fruits, and small animals, and its relation to the spread of interest in botany and zoology at the end of the sixteenth century. Another topic is calligraphy and its place in the art and culture of the sixteenth century. The manuscript's remarkable calligraphy will be of particular interest not only to scholars but to collectors, graphic designers, and typographers as well.

Abstract

La production parisienne de manuscrits illustrés demeure à ce jour mal connue pour le règne de François Ier. L'étude de Marie-Blanche Cousseau vient combler cette lacune. En s'appuyant sur de nombreux documents d'archives inédits ainsi que sur l'étude minutieuse des œuvres qui nous sont parvenues, l'auteur parvient à dresser un panorama très complet du monde de l'enluminure dans la capitale, tant sur le plan quantitatif que qualitatif. Elle recense près d'une trentaine d'artistes, ce qui érige Paris au rang de centre majeur durant cette période, et restitue avec précision les pratiques professionnelles et commerciales et les processus de création. Étienne Colaud occupe une place centrale dans ce travail. Son nom est depuis longtemps associé aux manuscrits des Statuts de l'ordre de Saint-Michel produits en série à Paris pour le roi, mais la découverte d'un livre d'heures portant sa souscription permet de mieux cerner sa personnalité artistique et de comprendre le rôle qu'il joua au sein de cette production. La confrontation des actes documentant sa carrière entre 1512 et 1541 avec dix-huit manuscrits de grande qualité, dans lesquels on peut désormais reconnaître sa main, éclaire aussi d'un jour nouveau l'autre activité à laquelle il se livra, celle de libraire, qui lui permit de recevoir des commandes prestigieuses et de collaborer avec plusieurs autres artistes importants.

Abstract

This publication is the first comprehensive survey to establish the importance of Renaissance manuscript illumination in the history of sixteenth-century French art. Although illustrated printed books were circulating freely by the beginning of the sixteenth century, patronage of manuscripts became all the more special to the ruling elite, and commissions from the court, aristocratic circles and the higher clergy resulted in a surge of artistic creativity that produced a wide range of outstanding illustrated works from devotional books to translations of classical and humanistic texts. While continuing the tradition of French figurative art, ornamentation became a major element in the style of the period, with frames and borders becoming a significant feature of the aesthetic impact of the illuminated page. One hundred manuscripts have been chosen for this survey to represent the artistic excellence of French book production of the period, as well as to demonstrate the stylistic relationships between artists and between books that may be seen to form distinct groups. Many years of research enabled the author to identify the hands of individual illuminators, both named and anonymous, and to connect these to a particular artistic milieu or regional group. Moreover, not only are the stylistic aspects of the manuscripts analysed, but entirely new information regarding authorship, patronage and historical context are revealed here of hitherto unstudied material. The author, Myra Orth, completed her catalogue and introductory texts shortly before her sad death some years ago. Since that time, a number of scholars – specialists in French manuscripts studies of the period – have helped to update the literature that has more recently appeared relating to the manuscripts catalogued and to the individual artists and workshops discussed. Present locations of manuscripts that may have changed ownership since Dr Orth’s submission of her work have also been noted. To accompany the detailed catalogue, the publication includes a corpus of 360 illustrations that offers a significant visual conspectus of manuscript illumination of the period. In addition to the introductory text, the author also provides brief biographies of Artists and Scribes, Authors and Translators, and Patrons and Dedicatees. --Harvey Miller Publishers

Abstract

This two-volume catalogue is the first comprehensive scholarly description of the Western medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the Princeton University Library, one of the finest collections in America. The rich holdings comprise more than 420 manuscripts in the Robert Garrett, Grenville Kane, Robert Taylor, Cotsen Library, and Princeton collections; manuscripts bound with incunables in the Rare Books Division; hundreds of single leaves and cuttings; and about 5,000 original documents in six other collections. The catalogue offers full textual, paleographic, codicological, art-historical, and iconographical descriptions; detailed provenance notes; and full bibliographies. About a third are illuminated manuscripts, which are selectively illustrated in the catalogue's 128 color plates, which contain nearly 400 images. Princeton's manuscripts range in date from the Carolingian era to the Italian Renaissance, with particular strength in late medieval holdings. They come chiefly from England, France, Italy, Germany and the deutscher Sprachraum, the Low Countries, and the Iberian Peninsula. There are more than thirty manuscripts in Middle English, and a nearly equal number in French (including Anglo-Norman), with smaller numbers in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch or Flemish, Hebrew, and Icelandic. Among the highlights of the collection are Hrabanus Maurus's Commentary on Matthew (Fulda, ca. 840-60); William of Waddington's Manuel des péchés (1280s); a Chrétien de Troyes miscellany (France, ca. 1295); the Tollemache Chaucer (ca. 1420-60); an illustrated copy of Kyrillos's Fables in German (1425-30); a Suetonius with sumptuous full-page miniatures (Milan, 1433); a richly illustrated copy of Giovanni Marcanova's Antiquitates (Bologna, ca. 1473); the Hours of Marguerite de Rohan, countess of Angoulême (ca. 1480); and the Sanvito Virgil (Padua, ca. 1507). Some twenty years in the making, this catalogue identifies virtually all the manuscripts' texts on an encyclopedic range of subjects. Classical Latin authors, medieval scholastic texts, scripture, liturgy, and devotional books are most prominent, but history, law, music, medicine, astronomy, magic, and especially vernacular literature are also represented. Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the Princeton University Library has a fully integrated approach that gives equal emphasis to text and image and their historical context, offering insights into countless aspects of intellectual and artistic life.

Abstract

For patricians in the Republic of Venice, paintings in manuscripts marking their appointment to high office expressed a tension between selfless service and individual ambition. Originally of value in confirming and instructing an elected officer, these unique documents were transformed through art into enduring monuments promoting state ideals, individual status, and family memory. This book introduces the reader to a long-hidden world of beautiful and complex images, and to tales of personal sacrifice, political maneuvering, and family intrigue. Analysis of these small paintings within books opens up new perspectives on canonical works by such artists as Giovanni Bellini, Titian, and Veronese, as well as on tomb sculptures and public memorials. Extensive original material on artistic patronage in Venice and its territories abroad encourages an expanded understanding of art in the service of the state and of Venice as empire.
