VERY SCARCE Illuminated Manuscript Choirbook Leaf c.1632 Dominican Convent Gradual , POLAND ———————————————————————————————————–IM-1350: Original leaf from a large early 17th century Gregorian chant. Manuscript calligraphy on animal parchment, in gothic script. Musical notation on a four-line stave, in black with text in black & red ink. Headings, rubrics & ruling in red.From a Gradual executed in a Dominican convent in Poznan (Posen) Poland and dated c. 1632 Size: 605 x 410mm – 23 ¾ x 16 1/8 inchesThis leaf was for use on Holy Saturday. One large illuminated initial ”C” (2 x 1.5”) in Celtic design in colors of yellow, taupe, green & black.One very large illuminated initial ”C” (5 x 3”) in Celtic design in colors of red & taupe on a gold & black ground of geometric design.The largest illuminated ”C” begins Exodus 15:1-2: ”Cantemus Domino…” (Let us sing a canticle to the Lord for he is gloriously adorned, the horse & rider he hath thrown into the sea; my helper, my protector & my salvation…). The large initial ”H” (4 x 4.5”) on verso is in a knot-work design with colors of gold & black & begins ”Hic est Deus…” (This is God…). Provenance: A number of leaves from the same parent codex as this one survive, including the frontispiece with a long Latin inscription that dates the manuscript, identifies its text as following the edition of Seraphinus Siccus published in 1620, connects the creation of this volume to Georgius Trebnic, Provincial Prior of Poland, and Hyacinth Chorinski, prioress of the Poznan convent, and identifies that house as the original home of the book. It was dispersed by 1966 when Cornelius J. Hauck (1893-1967) deposited his highly decorated leaf in the Cincinnati Museum (later sold by Christie’s New York, 27-28 June 2006, lot 139, but dated a century too early). Other leaves were sold by Bruce Ferrini in the 1990s. Posnan (Posen) was Poland’s intellectual center and one of its oldest towns. The Dominican convent was established in Poznan in 1244, with the church and abbey built in the ten years following. The house was dissolved by the Prussians in 1833 and its goods scattered. The site only returned to a religious use in 1920 when Jesuits took over the church, and 1935 when Dominican brothers returned to the convent. Elaborate manuscript Graduals from Eastern Europe at this period are extremely uncommon! This is not a reproduction – it is original about 390 years old, in nice antiquarian condition as shown in the photographs. There is some devotional wear and soiling in the margins, and a small natural defect in the upper margin, also a small loss at the bottom of the blank lower margin. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.We have been full-time dealers in Illuminated Manuscripts, Maps, Prints and Antiquities since 1980.
