<B>BIBLE.</B> MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM OF THE VULGATE IN LATIN. (NORTH NETHERLANDS, ALMOST CERTAINLY HATTEM, CA. 1420-30).

Folio. Later brown calf with modern blind stamping in the style of the fifteenth century (310 x 215 mm). Written in a neat gothic textura in black ink in one hand, rubricated, incipits and chapter headings in red and blue, large floral initial at the beginning, with full border decoration. 159 lvs.: 20 quires with catchwords visible, justification 201 x 137 mm., written in two columns of 35 lines. The text includes one volume of what must have once been a six- or seven-volume set, of which the other vols. have not survived, according to Prof. Marrow who is completing the <I>Corpus of Dutch Manuscripts</I> and who was kind enough to verify this finding. <B>Text:</B> Proverbs of Salomon (ff. 1-17v); Ecclesiastes (17v-23v); Song of Salomon (24r-26v); Wisdom of Salomon (26v-38v); Jesus Sirach (38v-71v), Job (71v-92r); Tobias (92r-99v); Judith (99v-108v); Esther (109v-119r), Maccabees I-II (109v-158v), f. 159 blank. These texts are accompanied by the Stegmueller prologues 457, 462, 468, 26, 344, 357, 332, 335, 343, 551.<B><I>Our codex has a really dazzling provenance,</I></B> including William Morris, H.P. Kraus, P.Ludwig and the Getty Museum: 1) written in the important House of the Brothers of the Common Life at Hulsbergen near Hattem, St. Hieronymusberg, which was founded in 1407. Early copies of the Vulgate are localized in Hattem and the revision of the Vulgate for which the Windesheim Congregation is famous, is also sometimes localized there. Localization of the present manuscript in Hattem has been confirmed by Prof. Marrow (Princeton University) on the basis of comparison with a two-volume Bible in Liege (Bibl. Univ., Mss. 189, 222, which is securely localized and dated 1429) As a consequence Prof. Marrow proposes the earlier date (1420-30) for the present Bible, instead of the date in the middle of the fifteenth century given by Von Euw & Plotzek; (2) William Morris (1834-1896), Kelmscott House, with his ex-libris on the inside pastedown; (3) Richard Bennett, whom purchased most of Morris's manuscripts en bloc in 1897; his sale London, Sotheby's, 1898, no. 172), to Sladen; (4) Judge Granger Sale (London, 17 December 1919, nr. 736) to G.D. Smith (his sale, New York, 28 April 1921, VI, nr. 208). (5) Mrs. Milton E. Getz, Beverly Hills, Calif. (De Ricci, Census, I, p. 12, nr. 4); her sale Cat. Manuscripts and Early Printed books, Perke-Bernet, New York, 10-11 November 1964, lot 49; (6) H.P. Kraus, Catalogue 111, 1965, nr. 39 (for $ 2.800); (7) P. Ludwig, Aachen, Ms. I 12 (A. von Euw & J.M. Plotzek, Die Handschriften der Samml. Ludwig (Cologne, Schnutgen Museum, 1979), I, pp. 112-6; (8) The J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, Calif., Getty Ms Ludwig I, 12 (de-accessioned).Apart from this provenance, its high quality decoration and script, and its excellent condition, the importance of the present manuscript lies mainly in its text. The North Netherlands with its 'Devotio Moderna', like Bohemia and England, participated in early reform movements, leading eventually to the Reformation, that entailed translations and revisions of the Bible itself. The scholarly monks and brothers of the Congregation of Windesheim eventually arrived at a complete Bible, 'our Bible' which included corrected Hebrew expressions, punctuated and emended for monasteries and houses in the entire chapter (see Greitemann for some of the textual variants of the Octateuch). In this respect any manuscript from Hattem must be taken very seriously in terms of the Dutch interest in the text of the Bible, since the brothers in Hattem wrote about 10 copies. Two related copies of the Vulgate revision produced in Hattem are found today in Zutphen, GA, Ms. 4-5, dated 1434. The fact that these manuscripts just postdate our version underscores the importance of our copy, which would constitute an important contribution to the study of the Dutch Bible revision of the Congregation of Windesheim. The interest of the present Bible, along with that attributed to Thomas a Kempis, i
