AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
4 facsimile pages (3 double-sided and 1 single-sided) medieval miniatures on parchment.
These are cosmological and astronomical diagrams drawn from the Breviari d'Amor, a famous encyclopedic work in verse written in Occitan (Old Provençal) by the troubadour and Franciscan monk Matfre Ermengau (died in 1322). The sheets illustrate the medieval conception of the universe, showing the arrangement of the planets, the movement of the sun, the zodiac and the natural elements according to the theological-astronomical science of the era.
The Breviari d'Amor was conceived by Ermengaud to demonstrate how the entire universe and the laws of nature are governed by Divine Love. The work unites the spirit of the lyrical tradition of the Provençal troubadours with the rigorous scholastic and scientific theology of the Middle Ages.
These manuscripts were crucial in the Middle Ages for understanding the link between astrology, medicine and philosophy.
The four cards faithfully reproduce some of the most significant miniatures, allowing an appreciation of their artistic quality, the care of details and the complexity of the ornamental apparatus.
The sheets come from the disassembly of a valuable facsimile volume (AyN of 2003), in very good overall condition with gold parts and intact images.
Measurements of each sheet 34.5 cm x 24.8 cm.
Shipping will be carried out with specific materials and insured for the sale value.
