Copenhagen - Det kongelige Bibliotek - Thott 539 4°

Thott 539 4° HORÆ in Latin (Burgundy c.1470-80) (Dioc. Autun)
116ff. 212 x 150 mm, 15 lines (99 x 71,5) textura in two grades.
11 full-page miniatures attributed to the 'Master of the Burgundian Prelates' (by Nicole Reynaud, 1975).
Painted panel borders on all pages. Initials over one and two lines are gilt Lombards on blue and red grounds with white tracery and a black outline.
Collation: I⁶ f.1-6, II⁶ f.7-12, III⁶ f.13-18, IV⁸ f.19-26, V⁸ f.27-34, VI⁸ f.35-42, VII⁸ f.43-50, VIII⁸ f.51-58, IX^8-1 f.59-65 (65'), X⁸ f.66-73, XI⁸ f.74-81, XII⁸ f.82-89, XIII⁸ f.90-97, XIV⁸ f.98-105, XV⁴⁺¹ f.106-110 (+f.110), XVI⁶ f.111-116.
Catchwords written vertically in textura along the lower inner margin: f.16v nomine, 26v -tarum, 34v Et, 42v Ad dñm, 50v -stra, 58v recor=, 73v vocem, 81v et, 97v dimictam, 105v cornu.
Binding: Bound around 1710 in brown leather, gilt asymmetrical ornaments in the corners, and an oval medallion in the center enclosing the crucifixion (Rubbing 1990);
Probably rebound by St.-Germain-des-Près. This kind of medaillon existed in sevaral versions and is not uncommon, another slightly different (with stars above the cross) is seen on the binding of KB Perg.25 (Heures du Mans);
Exactly this version of the medallion figure on several bindings formerly in Saint-Germain, as on Paris BN ms.lat. 13288 (Rubbing 1991) with a dated exlibris on folio 1:
"Ex libris Monasterij S. Germani a pratis Paris. Congreg. S. Mauri, ord. S. Benedicti 1709.").
[Cf. also BN ms.lat.13286; Each were presented to St-Germain by different donors which makes it unlikely that they all should happen to have the same new blindstamp on the binding]
New handwritten label on the spine: / Horæ / b.Virg. Maria / Cod.Membr.//
Provenance: In the early 18th Cent. in the Library of Saint-Germain-des-Près (old shelfmark in brown ink on the lower pastedown: K surmounted by a stroke and a number (5 or 6) which no longer is clearly legible (= 'fenestra' K, as indicated in the old Catalogue des mss. de S. Germain des Près now in the BNF (Ms.13082-85 1643-c.1707) where I found the relevent reference:
" Breviaria antiqua Vide in fenestra 4 et 5K. 6.K." ).
Library of Count Otto Thott (not listed in the printed catalogue Bibliotheca Thottiana VII)

Contents

f.I Old parchment frontleaf (now pastedown on the binding).
Numerous pilgrims badges were once sewn to the frontleaf, and continued unto vellum folio 1, where many stitches are seen.
[The pastedown is now unfortunately covered by a layer of paper with a rectangular opening after the cutting out of an exlibris from the paper, perhaps like the exlibris in Paris BNF ms.lat.13288, see above under binding]
