| Summary: | A copy of Rupertus Tuitensis’ De divinis officiis, Cologne 1526, nowadays at the Westmalle Trappist Abbey, is interesting for several reasons. (1) The quires appear to have been fixed on two pieces of marrowbone, a practice that is probably unique in the archaeology of late medieval bookbinding. - (2) Two pieces of scrap parchment used in the process of binding offer prophetic texts from the Old Testament as well as some paragraphs of Bernard of Clairvaux’s Sermones in Canticum. Most striking is the text of Isaiah’s Prologus. It appears not to be a copy of the Prologus sancti Hieronymi (iuxta Vulgata) but rather an anonymous commentary in the form of continuous glosses. - (3) The book’s provenance is most probably from the Capuchin cloister at Meersel (Belgium). - (4) The title page has manuscript text fragments taken from patristic authors (Cyprianus, Haymo of Auxerre), from the Codex Justinianus and from the neolatin Hecastus by Macropedius. Most intriguing is the Tetrastichon Nicolai Henrici. Is he a 16th century priest who used the title page to demonstrate his vast reading? |
