cover, is a roll decorated with roundels with heads all’antica, and 

lattice-work; and, on the lower, an ornamental roll. Paper manuscript 

labels on the spine, the upper one bearing the name of the 

author and the title of the book, the lower one (presumably) the 

shelfmark, but now covered by a Bodleian shelfmark label. The 

pigskin, which may originally have formed part of an older binding, 

has been re-glued onto the back of the text-block, and the 

manuscript wrappers supplied at a later stage, perhaps during 

the nineteenth century. Size: 170 ¿ 140 ¿ 41 mm. Size of 

leaf: 170 ¿ 127 mm. 

Early marginal annotations (many cropped), some apparently by 

Genckeln (for example, on a6 r , and on the recto of the rear endleaf), 

and ‘nota’ marks, also underlining in the text in black ink. 

On a 2 r a seven-line southern German (Nuremberg) initial ‘F’ is 

supplied in blue with curling acanthus scrolling in white, on a 

burnished gold ground, the gilt with punch-dotting, within a segmented 

frame of red and pale green edged in yellow. Other two- to 

seven-line initials are supplied in red or blue. 

Provenance: Johannes Genckeln (¢fteenth century); inscription 

on a 1 r : ‘Liber magistri Johannis Genckelni d’Elwangen’. [ ], 

Benedictines; inscription and stamp on a2 r :‘Ex bibliotheca monasterii 

ordinis S. Benedicti’; no name of a place is given, and the 

stamp is too faint to be read. Scar and remains of a book-plate on 

the inside of the upper cover. August Schegk (nineteenth century?); 

name on the recto of the front endleaf. Purchased in 1885; 

not identi¢ed in Library Bills.

note 26 discusses the dating in relation to the Venetian calendar, 

arguing that the ‘1471’ refers to the kalends of March, and not to 

28 Feb., and that the Venetian year therefore coincides with the 

modern calculation, and matches the date given at the end of the 

edition of the work on Pliny. Fera also publishes an earlier letter 

addressed to Johannes Andreas de Bussis, from a manuscript in

had already been made, leather index tabs were ¢xed to the 

outer edges, including a large spherical knot marking the ‘Te igitur’. 


Parchment leaves from the ‘temporale’ of a thirteenth-century 

German noted (adiastematic neums) Antiphoner pasted inside 

both covers, with two-line initials supplied in red and other initials 

supplied in brown ink with red pen-work decoration. 

[Most of the following information has been taken from the green 

folder entitled ‘Printed Books with MS. Additions’, copy in Duke 

Humfrey’s Library]. Probably added at the same time as the decoration: 

the two leaves replacing the original fol. cxxx^xxxi, [o1, 

2], see above; musical notation on staves ruled in brown ink, similar 

to that added to BL C.13.c.2; marginal notes, mainly chapter 

references for Epistles and Gospels; on [o12 r ]: Mass ‘De passione 

domini’ and antiphon and sequence ‘De sancta Katherina’ 

(Chevalier, Rep. hymn., no. 18080). On [p10 v ], originally blank, 

preceding the votive masses, further masses, the ¢rst without rubric 

but perhaps for the Passion with sequence (Chevalier, Rep. 

hymn., no. 1842); the second is headed ‘De compassione gloriose 

virginis Marie’. On [C8 r ] the sequence for S. Elisabeth: ‘Gaude 

syon quod eggressus ad te decor est regressus . . . eruamur inferi’ 

(Chevalier, Rep. hymn., no. 6958; AH 55 no. 120), masses ‘De 

sancta Katherina’,‘De s Adelario ep et m’,‘De s Francisco’,‘In festiuitate 

reliquiarum’,‘In festo presentacionis BVM’,‘De s Eobano 

ep et m’,‘De omnibus sanctis’,‘Ad s Bonifacium’,‘Ad s Barbaram’, 

‘In capella corporis Christi’, ‘In capella beate virginis’, ‘Ad s 

Michaelem’, some notes on masses for St Jerome, and on feast 

days of Sts Onuphrius (11 June), Christina (24 July), and 

Theodosia (2 Apr.). On [C8 r ]: ‘my� henburg’, perhaps the name of 

the scribe. The added masses for Sts Adalar, Boniface, and 

Eoban suggest a connection with Erfurt, or perhaps Fulda, 

though St Boniface is given less prominence. Adalar and Eoban 

are among saints added to the calendar in BL C.13.c.2, and 

cross-references in the text of the BL book suggest that it once 

contained at the beginning added masses, now lost, including 

one for St Eoban, similar to those added here. Possibly written 

by the same hand, but in a more cursive script, a paper bifolium, 

found loose between [g 8] and [g 9] and now bound in after [p 10], 

containing a mass ‘De quinque vulneribus Christi’,‘O¡[icium] de 

sancta cruce’,‘Missa de spinea corona’, and a mass (for the priest 

himself?) with the rubric ‘Col[lecta] sacerdotis’. On [a 1 r ]: ‘Liber 

septimus’ in a large textura. In an early sixteenth-century(?) 

hand added in red in the upper margin of [B3 v ]:‘In festo presentacionis 

BMVo⁄cium peromnia ut in eius concepcione’; there is an 

identical note at this point in BL C.13.c.2 , perhaps in the same 

hand. On [B6 v ] ‘De s Anna missa votiva’ and mass ‘In festo divisionis 

apostolorum’; the text of the mass for St Anne is not the 

same as either of the added masses for St Anne in BL C.13.c.2. 

On [a1 r ] an eight-line woodcut initial ‘A’ is coloured in gold on a 

square blue ground edged in red, with red, pink, and green foliate 

extensions into the margin and red dots. On [o 12 v ] a full-page miniature 

of the Cruci¢xion; on [p1 r ] a woodcut initial ‘T’ coloured. 

Other six- to eight-line initials are supplied in red, green, grey, 

blue, and pink with white or yellow pen-work decoration on a 

square black, pink, red, or brown ground with yellow or white 

pen-work decoration. Other initials are supplied in red or blue. 

Capital strokes in red. One of the BL copies, C.13.c.2 (formerly 

IB. 2617), from the old Royal Library, has an identical added miniature 

and initials by the same hand. 

Provenance: Date of acquisition unknown; other books with 

neighbouring shelfmarks were acquired between 1835 and1862.

¢rst (in English) detailing the length of the churchyard boundary 

at South Littleton church which was to be maintained by each 

land-holder; and the second (in Latin) recording the dedication 

of South Littleton church in 1204. On the documents see H. H. E. 

C[raster], ‘Notes and News’, BQR 4,39 (1923), 54^5, at 54; and

Provenance: John More (sixteenth century): see Ker, Medieval 

Libraries, 81, 261; inscriptions on [n2 v ] (upper margin, covered

parchment square): ‘Orate pro bono statu magistri Johannis 

More decretorum doctoris qui hunc librum contulit capelle de le 

Battell Welle’. Evesham, chapel of Battle Well; C[raster], ‘Notes 

and News’, 54 states that the site of the chapel is unknown. 

Evesham, Benedictine Abbey of BVM and S. Egwin; two 

parchment manuscript leaves written in a ¢fteenth/sixteenthcentury 

hand and bound between y8 and z1 contain additional 

o⁄ces, including Translation of S. Egwin (fol. 1 r ),‘In commemoratione 

reliquarum’ (leaf 1 v ), which mentions the relics of SS. 

Egwin, Wystan, Oswald, Odulph as preserved ‘in presenti . . . 

ecclesia’, thereby relating the provenance to Evesham Abbey: see 

C[raster],‘Notes and News’, 54; also other manuscript additions, 

covering local saints, e.g. on x6,7 (o⁄ces of S. Wystan and S. 

Odulph), y7 v (o⁄ce of S. Canute), h3 r (memory of S. Credan), h4 r 

(death of S. Thomas of Hereford), A 3 v (o⁄ce of S. Oswald); on 

the shrines of various of these saints in the abbey see George 

May, A Descriptive History of the Town of Evesham (Evesham,

hand: ‘Iste liber constat [ ] anno domini M o V c ii’. Humfrey 

Acton (�1558); see Cox 27^8, who suggests that Acton removed 

the missal from Evesham and took it with him to South

with selected liturgy in use in Germany and Switzerland, 

where there were many chapels in which Mass was said only on 

Sundays and on principal festivals, so it was found convenient to 

have smaller volumes containing only the text of the Masses for 

those days; see W. H. James Weale, ‘The Newly Discovered

Rome: Eucharius Silber, 7 June 1487. 4 o . In the same year Silber 

printed Vegetius (V-052), Aelianus Tacticus (A-041), and 

Frontinus (F-109). The books were conceived as a unit; see the 

dedicatory letter from Johannes Sulpitius in his edition of 

Vegetius, item 1 in this volume (’Tres de ea re scriptores egregios 

quos nuperrime recognoui, Vegetium, Aelianum, et Frontinum 

simul coniunxi et ut emendatissimi in tuas et in aliorum manus 

uenirent e¡eci . . .’). Go¡, CIBN and others list the books under 

the common heading ‘Scriptores rei militaris’; under such heading 

are listed in this catalogue two more editions containing the 

same texts, one printed by Eucharius Silber in 1494 (S-120), 

which contains also a Latin translation of Onosander, 

Strategicus, another printed by Franciscus Plato de Benedictis in 

1495^96 (S-121), edited by Philippus Beroaldus, who rearranged 

the order of appearance of the texts, but this edition is otherwise 

based on Sulpitius’s.

Part II only, printed on parchment. 

The number of the volume is erased on A 2 v , A8 v , and k10 v . 

Binding: Sixteenth-century English (London, second half of the 

century) blind-tooled calf over wooden boards, with gold-tooled 

spine; two clasps and catches lost. On both covers intersecting 

triple ¢llets form four concentric frames. Within the second, 

third, and fourth frames is a ‘heads in medallions’ roll (Oldham, 

Blind-stamped Bindings, pl. xlvii, rolls 775, 772, 775 [repeated]). 

Further triple ¢llets form the inner rectangle which is decorated 

with a lozenge formed by triple ¢llets containing Oldham, Blindstamped 

Bindings, pl. xlvii, roll 772. Size: 356 ¿ 262 ¿ 73 mm. Size 


In 32 places the chapter headings have been painted over with 

miniatures, the obliterated text being written in the margin in a 

sixteenth-century hand. Three- and ¢ve-line initials are supplied 

in red with gold acanthus scrolling or in gold on blue or red 

grounds; paragraph marks are supplied in gold on red or blue 

grounds decorated in gold; capital strokes in yellow; the device is 

painted over in gold, blue, red, brown, and pink; the text is 

enclosed within single red rules, with ruling in red. A leaf inserted 

before B1 has on the verso a full-page painting in three compartments, 

illustrating the beginning of part II of the Chroniques. In 

the upper left-hand compartment, a ¢gure dressed in black sitting 

on a seat covered with a £eur-de-lis covering, gives or receives a 

document from two kneeling ¢gures, whilst three others look on 

from behind; in the upper right-hand corner a French king is 

shown in a red and gold gown kneeling on the right, about to 

receive communion from a priest assisted by two acolytes on the 

left, with four ¢gures behind, looking on and dressed in £eur-delis 

tabards, one holding abluebanner with the words‘Vive le Rois’ 

in gold on it; in the lower compartment a French king is seated on 

athrone coveredwith a £eur-de-lis cover, on either side ofwhich is 

abishop, and with courtiers atboth sides, including one on the left 

who is holding a sword, and two on the right, one holding a robe 

of blue with golden £eurs-de-lis and ermine, the other a helmet 

surmounted by a golden crown. This illumination seems to illustrate 

the beginning of part II of the Chroniques, with the news of 

the death of King Charles VI of France (1368^1422) being conveyed 

to his son, Charles the Dauphin, Duke of Touraine (1403^ 

1461), followed by the latter’s coronation as Charles VII. It and 

the other miniatures are French, probably Parisian, early sixteenth 

century, and by the same artist. 

Provenance: Traces of an inscription(?), unread under ultraviolet 

light, on the pastedown of the lower cover. David Harris (sixteenth 

century); inscription on the recto of the back endleaf: 

‘Medio tutissimus ibis. Dauyd Harrys, teste Johanne Harryes’. 

John Bagford (1650^1716); name on the rear pastedown. Date of 

acquisition unknown; not in Fysher, Catalogus, and therefore 

presumably acquired after 1738.
