As indicated by its famous cathedral Chartres was a major city bishopric and pilgrimage site. The first coutume for Chartres was published in 1508 the first Couart edition with Du Moulin's notes in 1630. This is an interesting edition because its contents are cast in the form of a catechism with questions and answers clarifying the text. Also as noted in the title Du Moulin translated all of the content that had appeared in Latin in previous editions and commentaries. Our copy was annotated in the mid-eighteenth century. The notes from a pool of sources dating from 1600 to 1749 deal mostly with male and female inheritance and include citations to court decisions new laws court decisions and observations by authorities. The annotator even includes cross-references to his notes. The pencil note on the front free endpaper credits the annotations to Jean-Baptiste Moussard a tax lawyer and notary from Gallardon.

Bound in 18th-century red Morocco gilt edges some rubbing to covers and edges remains of 18th-century paper label on the spine but in sturdy condition otherwise. Dimensions 121 x 90 mm This modest Book of Hours was made for the use of Chartres as indicated by the calendar and litany. With illustrations at the opening of each of the major sections of text and attractive liquid gold floral and geometric borders it survives as a good example of a modestly priced though complete Horae then as well as now. Manuscripts made in Chartres are rare because a fire devastated the city's municipal library during the Second World War. This one preserves an unusually early 'dance of death' iconography prefacing the short Office of the Dead. Text: f. 1 ruled blank leaf; ff. 2-13v Calendar with the feasts of important local saints Leobinus March 14 and St. Chéron May 28 along with the translation of Leobinus September 15; ff. 14-20v Gospel Sequences; ff. 21-25v Obsecro te masculine forms et michi famulo tuo impetres; ff. 25v-33 O intemerata; ff. 33-43v Prayers; ff. 43v-50v Suffrages; ff. 51-64 Passion according to John; f. 65 ruled blank leaf; ff. 66-119v Hours of the Virgin ff. 66-78 Matins; ff.78v-92 Lauds; ff. 90-91 Hours of the cross; ff.91-92 Hours of the Holy Ghost; ff.92-98 Prime; ff. 98-102 Terce; ff. 102-105v Sext; ff. 106-109v None ff.110-113v Vespers; ff.113v-119v Compline; ff.120-133v Seven Penitential Psalms; ff. 133v-139v Litany including St. Leonibus on f. 135v; ff.140-157 Office of the Dead with three readings; ff. 158 ruled blank leaf; The present Book of Hours contains a combination of antiphons and capitula for prime and none that is unrecorded in the Drigsdahl database prime: antiphon: O admirabile capitula: Paradise porta ; none: antiphon: Ecce maria genuit capitula: Gaude maria virgo. However in our correspondence Gregory Clark concluded that the inclusion of saints Leonibus and Chéron in red in the Calendar and in the Litany suggests that the book was very likely made for use in Chartres. The study of Chartres' manuscripts is complicated by the bombing of the city's municipal library during the Second World War. Nearly half of the books from the city's collection were destroyed during the war. Of the surviving books many are now very badly burnt fragments such as Chartres Bibliothéque municipale MS. 929; a Book of Hours for the Use of Rouen c. 1470-1480 see fig. 1. Illustration: 4 large miniatures with margins decorated with acanthus foliage in blue green and gold hiding strawberries hearts thistles daisies lilies and many other species of flowers. Subjects of the 4 large miniatures are: f. 51 The Betrayal of Christ; f. 66 The Annunciation; f. 120 David with his harp at prayer before an altar; f. 140 The Dance of Death with Three Living and Death brandishing a spear. The depiction of the Annunciation on f. 66 has some stylistic similarities to the same scene painted on f. 22 in Oxford Magdalen College Lat. MS 405. In both miniatures Mary is shown in prayer studying her book before a rich red canopy with very fine gold designs painted into the drapery. Both miniatures skilfully employ thin gold highlights to add a sense of fluid movement to the Mary's clothing see fig. 2. The Angel Gabriel and a small white dove radiating holy light enter the scene from the right-hand side of the miniatures. While the modelling of the hands and faces are notably different and the miniatures were most likely painted by different artists the similar composition that the two scenes share might be drawn from a common exemplar. Our manuscript has notable similarities with the miniatures on f. 131 and f. 140 of BnF MS lat. 1406; a separate Book of Hours commissioned for the Use of Chartres in the fifteenth centurysee figs. 3 & 4. The similar facial types and drapery designs particularly the use of small hatch marks in matte gold to imply volume suggest that both the miniatures are by the same hand. We thank Dr. Gregory Clark for his expertise and assistance in describing this manuscript. Provenance: 1. The devotion shown in the calendar and litany suggest it was made for use in central France most likely Chartres. The feast of St. Leobinus d. 557 on March 14th and his translation on September 15th along with the feast of St. Chéron on May 28th are all recorded in red. Leobinus or Lubin was a farmhand-turned-monk who served as an early bishop of Chartres until his death in the 557. Chéron or Caraunus was an early Christian missionary and martyr who was killed in Gaul near present-day Chartres. There are multiple legends about his life which separately place him at either the end of the 1st century or sometime in the 5th to 6th centuries. Both Leobinus and Chéron enjoy special veneration in Chartres and are depicted in the 13th century stained-glass windows in Chartres cathedral. Our manuscript's calendar also includes the feasts of St. Arnulph of Tours and Metz ca. 580-640 on July 18th in red. The feasts of William Bishop of Bourges died ca. 1209 on January 10th and Lupus Bishop of Sens died ca. 623 on September 1st are likewise recorded in black. These feasts appear in the calendar of Oxford Magdalen College MS. Lat. 405; another Book of Hours made for use in Chartres circa 1450-1475. Gregory Clark records these feasts as also appearing in a 1486 printed copy of the Breviarum Carnotense or the Chartres Breviary Paris BnF Res. B 27931 in Appendix III of his Art in a Time of War. Leobinus also appears in the litany on f. 135v. 2. Meningen Germany Herzogliche Sachsen-Meiningische Bibliothek MS 61 19th century library stamps on the first fly leaf f.2v and f.157. The Ducal Saxony-Meiningen library was founded in 1680 by the Duke Bernhard I 1649-1706. Duke George I 1761-1803 opened his family's library to the public after he came to power in 1782. When the German monarchy was abolished in 1918 much of the library's collections were absorbed into the Thuringian State Archives in Meningen and some were sold. 3.
