AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
4 pages of miniature facsimiles (3 double-sided and 1 front-facing) 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 period.
The Breviari d'Amor was devised 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 lyric 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 linkage between astrology, medicine and philosophy.
The four sheets faithfully reproduce some of the most significant miniatures, allowing one to appreciate their artistic quality, meticulous attention to detail, and the complexity of the ornamental apparatus.
The sheets come from the disassembly of a high-quality facsimile volume (AyN of 2003), in very good overall condition with gold accents 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.
