Zu den teuersten Erzeugnissen der Pariser Buchproduktion im zweiten Viertel des 14. Jahrhunderts gehören vier großformatige Legendare, die der Buchhändler Thomas de Maubeuge bei den Buchmalern der Rue neuve Nostre Dame für den französischen König Karl IV. und sein Umfeld illustrieren ließ. Ausgehend von den Herstellungsbedingungen des Entstehungskontextes wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Bedeutung und Funktion der meist stereotypen und formelhaften Miniaturen im Gesamtgefüge der Handschriften untersucht. Vor dem Hintergrund der Tradition französischer Legendare und der Legenda aurea werden die Gestaltungsstrategien herausgearbeitet, die den Akteuren eine inhaltliche Ausrichtung der Codices erlauben und die Rezeptionshaltung der Benutzer subtil steuern. Die untersuchten Handschriften unterliegen dabei einer je eigenen Disposition, in der sich die Wünsche einzelner Auftraggeber mit dem Ringen um eine zeitgemäße Form für die Buchtgattung Legendar vereinen. Neben den Transformationen, die die Gattung im 13. und frühen 14. Jahrhundert erfährt, spiegelt sich hierin die buchhistorisch bedeutsame Verschiebung der idealen Lesehaltung von einer monastisch-kontemplativen hin zu einer scholastisch-akademischen lectio. Ein Katalogteil erschließt 39 hagiographische Handschriften aus der Zeit vor 1350 und ihre Bildfolgen für die künftige Forschung.

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
