BINDING: Fifteenth-century blind-tooled and -stamped red calf with eight engraved and bossed cornerpieces intact fore-edge clasp and chain hasp with intact chain with two manuscript fragments serving as front flyleaf and lower pastedown. Chained libraries were a late medieval solution to the problem of providing access to needed books in an institution while at the same time preventing theft and we can assume many late medieval volumes were once chained. Most however have been rebound or survive without the chain and other metalwork and intact chained bindings such as this one are uncommon. TEXT: This extensive collection includes more than one hundred sermons from the Sermones de sanctis et de communi sanctorum of the early Franciscan writer Conrad of Saxony d. 1279 together with his very popular text the Speculum beatae Mariae virginis all copied not long after their composition. This is however not simply a copy of Conrad's sermon cycle since some of his sermons are omitted and six sermons by contemporary Dominican authors Martinus Polonus Aldobrandinus de Calvacantibus and Antonius Azaro de Parma as well as eight sermons by unidentified authors were also included. It seems likely this is an example of a re-working of Conrad's texts for a Dominican audience who would have prized it as a preaching aid and for its pronounced Marian focus. Marginal annotations attest to the early use of these sermons most likely by preachers. PROVENANCE: Written in Southern Germany or Austria at the end of the thirteenth century as suggested by evidence of spelling script and decoration. Belonged to the Dominican house attached to the Church of St. Maria Rotunda in Vienna as indicated by two fifteenth-century inscriptions; here it was probably part of the house's chained library. Belonged to a Dominican convent at KosiÄe in present-day Slovakia as indicated by a sixteenth-century inscription. Belonged to Maurice Burrus 1882-1959 Alsatian philatelist; his ex libris on the front pastedown. CONDITION: Slight rust stains and corrosion in the outer margins of ff. 184-188 margins trimmed away overall in good condition. Full description and photographs available TM 767. books
