Based on a manuscript owned by collector Henri de Mesmes now BnF ms. Grec 954 this edition has seven of the eighteen lectures for the catechumens of Jerusalem. The complete Greek text did not appear for nearly half a century. Variously attributed to Cyril or his successor John II of Jerusalem c. 356-417 the Mystagogic Catecheses follows. Together these prepared the newly baptized for first communion and provide some of the earliest details of liturgical practices in the Eastern church. Small rust hole touching a few letters deleted inscriptions of the Carmelites of Angoulême. ¶Hoffmann Bibliographisches Lexicon der gesammten Litteratur der Griechen I: 495; BP16 114497. Ad II: EDITIO PRINCEPS of the Embassy for the Christians.

Notes: In 1788 Anthimos 1717-1808 became Greek or Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem or simply ‘Patriarch of Jerusalem’ meaning the head bishop of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem; he held this position until his death. Along with his ecclesiastical duties Anthimos was also a scholar known particularly for his facility with languages. “Anthimos became well known as a fervent defender of Orthodoxy against Catholic proselytism which at that time was very active in Palestine. It was then that he composed first in Greek and then in Arabic his ‘Theological Treatise’ and ‘Interpretation of the Psalms.’ Having had them published in Vienna in 1791 – 92 he distributed thousands of copies of these works among the Arab Christians of the region. At the same time he enjoyed friendly relations with Sultan Selim III 1789-1807 who supported him in consolidating Orthodox rights in the Holy Land.“ Today this important Arabic book on Orthodox Christianity is very rarely seen.

BINDING: Early almost certainly contemporary reddish-brown leather over wooden boards flat spine with three slightly raised bands head and tail bands clasp and catch fastening front to back with brass catch lettered ave front cover decorated most likely in the nineteenth century with an attractive painted border in green orange and gray connecting four brass studs and the title De laudibus et miraculis divi Hieronymi with initials F.C. at the bottom back pastedown is leaf from a late fourteenth-century Italian copy of Donatuss Latin grammar front pastedown shows offset script from removed pastedown from a fourteenth-century Italian text in Latin verse. TEXT: This manuscript is a vivid witness to the importance of St. Jerome in fifteenth-century Italy and includes the foundational texts for his cult: three letters regarding his death miracles and titles to glory and veneration and purporting to be written by three contemporaries of St. Jerome c. 347-420 namely St. Eusebius of Cremona d. 423 St. Augustine of Hippo 354-430 and Bishop Cyril of Jerusalem c. 313-386 but probably written in Rome at the end of the thirteenth or beginning of the fourteenth century; a life of St. Jerome by an unknown author probably writing in Italy in the twelth century; and Jeromes own life of St. Paul the Hermit written in 374 or 375. These texts were widely disseminated in both Latin and in vernacular translations and they influenced the work of numerous writers and visual artists. ILLUSTRATION: The iconographical choice in the historiated initial f. 1 to depict the ascetic Jerome contemplating the Crucifixion dates from c. 1400 in Italy and can be particularly associated with Hieronymite congregations in Tuscany. PROVENANCE: Copied in Northern Italy in the middle years of the fifteenth century as suggested by the evidence of the script and decoration; the penwork initials in particular seem to point to Northern Italy. The manuscript almost certainly once included the coat of arms of its original owner in the lower margin of the illuminated border on f. 1. Three sets of initials are inscribed in three different hands all possibly initials of owners: within the roundel on f. 1 a modern owner inscribed an outline of a shield in pen and the initials F.A.; inside front cover white embossed seal with the initials L.F.; on front cover as part of the added decoration F. C. CONDITION: Slight loss of the leather at the back top of the spine and over the lower band of the binding; top of the painted border on f. 1 is very slightly trimmed; f. 1 is darkened; and there is some soiling throughout but overall in very good condition.
