INTRODUCTION

The Claremont Colleges, located in Claremont, California, are an association of six independent schools. The largest and oldest, founded in 1887, is Pomona College; more recent are the Claremont Graduate School, Scripps College, Claremont M c K e n n a College, Harvey M u d d College and Pitzer College. Each school preserves its independence in setting standards for students and selecting faculty, and enjoys the flexibility of a small school while sharing the larger facilities as a group: auditorium, medical services, and the main library. Affiliated with the Claremont Colleges are three additional institutions: the School of Theology at Claremont, the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, and the Francis Bacon Foundation. T h e Claremont Colleges are served by the central Honnold Library, which houses the major portion of the fifty-eight codices described in this catalogue. Eight manuscripts are in the Denison Library of Scripps College; the Sprague Library on the Harvey M u d d campus has one. Of the affiliated institutions, the School of Theology at Claremont has two manuscripts, and the Francis Bacon Foundation has another.' These books are psalters, hours, collections of sermons and law books. Few of them are illustrated, many are owner-produced, most date from the later middle ages. Among these books are several that are good examples of their type of material, such as the twelfth-century collection of sermons (Crispin 24) that belonged to the Augustinians of Rebdorf and is still in its fifteenth-century abbey binding. Others are the twelfth-century English patristic florilegium (Crispin 25), which belonged to the antiquary Sir Roger Twysden, or the late twelfth-century manuscript that belonged to J o h n Kemp, archbishop of York from 1426 to 1452, in which were found several letters of Bernard of Clairvaux with significant textual variants (Crispin 26). A fine example of fifteenthcentury Carthusian book production still in its original binding is seen in Crispin 35, from St. Barbara's in Cologne. A typical Franciscan book is Crispin 41: as many as eight people worked on the copying of its many sections in a sometimes irregular fashion, sending the reader backward or forward to find the next portion of the text. Among the illuminated books to be noted is the pontifical copied for Raoul du Fou between 1473 and 1479, while he was bishop of Angouleme (Perkins 3); there is a superb Flemish book of hours, probably commissioned for the wedding of one of the counselors of Philip the Good (Kirby 1), and a handsome fifteenth-century Italian book of hours made in Florence for a member of the Strozzi family (Bodman 1). Together the manuscripts in the Claremont Colleges form a valuable resource for the study of medieval life and thought. • 1.

FORM OF ENTRY

This catalogue includes the medieval and renaissance manuscripts, to approximately the year 1600, held by the Claremont Colleges and their affiliated institutions: codices and fragments are included; documents, autograph letters, student notebooks, binding fragments, and manuscript text or decoration in incunabula have been excluded. T h e catalogue describes only the manuscripts in Latin script (usually in Latin but a few in Dutch, Flemish, or French). The format used in the descriptions follows that used by N. R. Ker in Medieval Manuscripts in British Libraries (Oxford 1969- ). 1. Heading. Each entry begins with library and call number, figure number (if any) in this catalogue, author and brief title, place and date. T h e place and date, when not actually specified in the manuscript (as in Crispin 10), have been determined by style of script and of decoration and, when applicable, by external evidence (as in Crispin 35) or by liturgical evidence. T h e use of books of hours has been identified either by rubrics in the manuscript itself (as in Bodman 1) or by comparison against the tests set forth by F. Madan, " T h e Localization of Manuscripts," in Essays in History Presented to Reginald Lane Poole, ed. H . W. C. Davis (Oxford 1927) 21-29. Place names refer to geographical regions, rather than to modern political entities. T h e sigla used for the dates of the manuscripts are: s. XIII m (saeculo X I I I ineunte) for the beginning of the thirteenth century; s. XIII 1 for the first half of the century; s. XIII m e d (saeculo X I I I medio) for the middle of the century; s. XIII 2 for the second half of the century; s. XIII e x (saeculo X I I I exeunte) for the end of the century; s. X I I I - X I V for the turn of the thirteenth to the fourteenth century. 2. Contents. In the case of Crispin 24, a composite volume of two originally separate books bound together not later than the fifteenth century, the two books are described first in their contents, then in their physical aspect under roman numerals I and II. Within the contents section of this and all other manuscripts, the text is broken into arabic numbered sections for ease of reference; the numbered sections do not always correspond to obvious divisions in the manuscripts (especially in long series of prayers in devotional books) and were fixed by the compilers of the catalogue. T h e order of the texts is usually that now present in the manuscript, even if there is evidence that certain leaves were once bound in a different position (as in Crispin 1); however, when a change in binding has resulted in a disordered text, it has been reestablished artificially in the description by giving the folio numbers in the correct, not the sequential order (as in Crispin 20). The folios covered are shown by a numeral alone if a recto is intended, and XV

ENTRY

by a numeral with a lower case " v " for a verso; the form " f . l r - v " means that both recto and verso of that single leaf are considered; " a " and " b " refer to the first and the second column on a given page. In transcription, all abbreviations have been expanded silently. Square brackets signal an offered but uncertain transcription, enclosing either the doubtful words, word, or part of word, or a question mark which refers to the immediately preceding word. Angle brackets occur where no solution for the difficulty is attempted; they may enclose a question mark or a reason for the complete illegibility, such as " < d a m a g e d > . " T h e spelling of the manuscript has been preserved, with "[«'c]" added only when the form of the word seemed unlikely or such as to cause the reader to suspect a typographical error. We have retained the manuscripts' §/e/ae, as they show relative distance from classical Latin; i/j, however, have been uniformly rendered as i; u/v have been distinguished according to modern use for ease of reading. Proper nouns are capitalized. Rubrics, whether in red ink, underlined, in a display script, or merely distinguished from the main body of the text by a space, are here rendered in italics. In the case of the series of brief texts or excerpts in patristic miscellanies, we have given only the rubric (omitting incipit and explicit of the text); in the case of series of prayers, we have preferred, as an aid to identification, to give a slightly longer incipit and no explicit, since the prayers tend to end with long, and frequently interchangeable, formulas. In liturgical books, saints' names are generally given in the form used by F. G. Holweck, A Biographical Dictionary of the Saints (St. Louis 1924), a convenient standard. A double diagonal slash means that a text begins or ends defectively; ellipses signal omitted text. Following each of the numbered sections of the text, where applicable, is a brief bibliographical notice of editions, of lists of manuscripts, of identifying number in the appropriate repertory (e.g., Schneyer, Stegmuller, Walther). 3. Physical description. This is principally in the order in which the book was produced. T h e term " p a r c h m e n t " is used throughout for all animal skins, since the traditional distinction between it and vellum seems to have been based more on quality of preparation than on knowledge of biological differences between sheepskin and calfskin. For manuscripts on paper, we have attempted to identify watermarks according to their similarity, or least dissimilarity, to the tracings in Briquet. T h e number of leaves is in roman numerals for endleaves, arabic for those of the book itself. Measurements are in millimeters: first, height and width of the book; then, in parentheses, height and width of the ruled space. T h e numbers are, of course, approximations, since within any book (especially when not cropped by a modern binder) there is considerable variation; we have preferred to measure ruled rather than written space, because it seemed to offer more consistency (for example, in top lines with many ascenders or no ascenders, or in bottom lines with variable number of descenders), and the term "ruled space" seemed to include the situations of pages in double columns and of pages of music more readily. The collation uses arabic numerals for the gatherings, with the number of leaves in that gathering in a suprascript arabic numeral; irregularities are given in parentheses, with the number showing the position in the quire of the irregular leaf; thus 1 8 (—6) means a quire of eight leaves of which the sixth is missing; 1B( + 9) means that the quire of eight leaves has a leaf added in the ninth position, i.e. at the end. Ruling is specified as to device used or color (hard or dry point; lead, i.e. in a scratchy gray or black; crayon, i.e. in a scratchy brown; ink; pale red ink); owner-produced manuscripts were often frame ruled, with no horizontal lines to guide the copyist. An effort has been made to distinguish the number of copyists and the leaves copied by each. Scripts are identified by a relatively restricted and simple nomenclature. Although punctuation is normalized to modern use in the transcription of the text, in the physical description we have recorded the presence in the manuscript of the flex mark (7). As regards decoration, the height of XVI

FORM OF

ENTRY

initials is given in number of vertical lines of text space occupied; " c a d e l " is used to describe the elaborate penwork initials in the ink of the text; colors are mentioned summarily since their names are too subjective to be of value. T h e subjects of the miniatures have been given in brief terms and, in the case of liturgical books and particularly books of hours, tied to the text to which they belong, since the two function as a cohesive unit. T h e binding statement is somewhat more expansive for medieval or renaissance bindings than for early modern or modern bindings. 4. Provenance. This section deals with the origin and subsequent ownership of the manuscript. In it we have summarized the evidence regarding date and place of origin given in the contents and physical description sections. 5. A secundo folio reference (the opening words of the second leaf) is supplied for manuscripts that may have belonged to an institution in the middle ages and thus have been listed in a medieval inventory; renaissance manuscripts, books of hours, and books that now lack their second leaf have no secundo folio reference in this catalogue. 6. Bibliography. T h e bibliography cited here refers to the manuscript as a whole, rather than to its parts.

MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE MANUSCRIPTS IN THE CLAREMONT LIBRARIES

WILLIAM L. HONNOLD LIBRARY

The main library of the Claremont Colleges is named in honor of the man who endowed it, William Lincoln Honnold, a mining engineer. Before his death in 1950, he had begun arrangements for the construction of the building. His wife, Caroline Honnold, was also active in encouraging this venture, and their continued support resulted in the completion of the William L. Honnold Library, dedicated in 1952. The manuscripts housed in Honnold Library were donated to the Claremont Colleges through the generosity of many individuals, the largest group having been given by Dr. Egerton L. Crispin. Dr. Crispin was born on 10 October 1877 in Salem County, New Jersey, and graduated with the degree of M . D . from Johns Hopkins University in 1906. He did postgraduate work in London and at the University of Minnesota. In 1913 he married Angela Shipman, a niece of Mrs. Honnold. In 1916 Dr. Crispin began practicing medicine in Los Angeles; he also was Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles, and held the rank of captain in the U . S . Navy Medical Corps. In 1950 he became a Fellow of the Claremont University Center. A member of the Zamorano Club, Dr. Crispin had wide-ranging interests as a book collector: his collection included incunabula, early printed books, examples of fine binding, and a few oriental manuscripts, as well as the western medieval and renaissance manuscripts described in this catalogue. These forty-two medieval manuscripts were acquired during the years 1933-1937; twenty-seven of them have been identified in the sale catalogues or the Special Lists of Dawson's Book Shop in Los Angeles from that period, and they bear on the inner cover in pencil the Dawson price code and the date when Dr. Crispin purchased them. In the case of the manuscripts not identified in Dawson sale catalogues or Special Lists, but with these penciled notes, it may be assumed that they too were bought from Dawson's, but immediately upon delivery of a shipment, before the catalogues were printed; the manuscripts not in Dawson sale catalogues were purchased between 1933 and 1936. Of the forty-two Crispin manuscripts, slightly over one fourth came from the library of John Meade Falkner. Meade Falkner (1858-1932) was educated at Hertford College, Oxford, to which he was named honorary Fellow in 1927- He was private tutor to the sons of Sir Andrew Noble, and later entered the armaments firm of Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth and Co., Ltd., in whose service he traveled extensively, particularly to the Balkans. He was named honorary Librarian to the Dean and Chapter of Durham Cathedral, and was honorary Reader in Paleography at the University of Durham. He published guidebooks, historical essays, poetry, and three novels (the draft of a 3

fourth was lost on a train). H e was buried in the churchyard of Burford, a village in the Cotswolds, which owes much to his generosity. His library, composed of both manuscript and printed books and devoted to the history of liturgy, was sold at auction after his death by testamentary direction. The Side was held at Sotheby's, 12 December 1932; thirteen of Falkner's manuscripts were eventually to become Crispin's, now numbered 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 22, 23, 37, and a further manuscript now in Utrecht (see Appendix, VI, Missal). Most of these passed through Marks and Co. of 10 Charing Cross Road, London, then by boat through the Panama Canal to Dawson's Book Shop of Los Angeles, where they were acquired by Dr. Crispin in 1933 (three of the Falkner manuscripts, Crispin 5, 13, and 17, have not been identified in Dawson catalogues, but they bear the usual penciled notes and the date 1933). Two Falkner manuscripts passed from the Sotheby sale rooms to T h o r p (Crispin 8), and to Sutton (Crispin 37). Crispin 8 has not been identified in Dawson sale catalogues, although it does have the penciled notes and the date 1936. Crispin 37, which went to Sutton at the Falkner sale, appears in Dawson catalogues in 1935 and 1936; it was bought by Crispin in 1937. Dr. Crispin began giving his collection to Honnold Library at least as early as 1955 (see Appendix, III, Peter Lombard); in 1961, another segment of the collection was donated; the bulk came to Claremont in 1964, following Dr. Crispin's death in 1963. The lawyers' inventory made at that time lists 176 items, both manuscript and printed. A later, but imprecise, inventory, compiled in 1966-1967 by a Claremont Colleges student, C. Robert Cole, lists 114 items, again counting early printed books and manuscripts of varying dates and languages. During the period ca. 1969-1970 a number of early printed books and manuscripts were stolen from the Special Collections Department in Honnold Library. One of these, Crispin 26, a late twelfth-century volume of St. Bernard's letters, was returned to Honnold Library in 1973 after a brief stay in Yale's Beinecke Library; several loose leaves were returned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1974. In the interest of reconstructing the Crispin collection, we are giving descriptions of the missing manuscripts in the Appendix. T h e Crispin manuscripts are presented in the order of their call numbers. T h e numbers were assigned to them in 1978 by the compilers of the present catalogue, so as to render them a coherent unit, distinct from the printed books and oriental manuscripts also given to the Claremont Colleges by Dr. Crispin. This accounts for the continuity of the Crispin numbers with no gaps for the stolen manuscripts. Another distinct unit in Honnold Library is the collection formed by Paul J o r d a n Smith of materials relating to Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy. Mr. J o r d a n Smith, literary editor of the Los Angeles Times in the 1940s, gave this and other collections to the Claremont Colleges in memory of his wife, Sarah Bixby-Smith, whose family was among the early settlers of California. Mr. J o r d a n Smith carefully prepared the catalogue of this collection; 1 in addition to the printed books, there is a German manuscript of the Vitaspatrum. In 1956 Harold C. Bodman, of Santa Barbara, California, donated to the Claremont Colleges his Italian renaissance collection, including many editions, translations, and studies of the major figures of fifteenth-century Florence: Poliziano, Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Cristoforo Landino, Leonardo Bruni, Luigi Pulci; there are also more than twenty autograph letters of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, described by Bond • 1.

and Faye, Supplement, p. 15, and more fully by W. H . J . Kennedy in Studies in the Renaissance 7 (1960) 67-75. Mr. Bodman continued to work actively on his collection until he died in I960. 2 It was during this period that he acquired the book of hours, now in Honnold Library, that bears the arms of the Strozzi family. In 1961 the Special Collections Department of Honnold Library was enriched by the gift of a fourteenth-century Italian antiphonal from Rudolph J . Wig, who had been associated with the Claremont Colleges ever since his eldest daughter chose to attend Pomona College. He was a trustee of that school from 1929 until shortly before his death in 1968, and served as Chairman of the Board for several terms. 3 T h e antiphonal is an expression of his lifelong interest in music. Housed in the Oxford Room in Honnold Library is an extensive working collection of materials on the history of that university, 4 given in 1936 to the Claremont Colleges by William W. Clary (1888-1971), a Los Angeles lawyer who had graduated from Pomona College in 1911. Mr. Clary believed firmly in the value of this federation of small liberal arts schools, patterned in a general way on the Oxford system, and he wrote an administrative history of the Claremont Colleges. 5 H e served as trustee of Pomona College and was on the board of Claremont University Center for many years; he was a charter member of the Friends of the Huntington Library, and a founding member of the Zamorano Club; while his interests were directed to fine printing (he had a small press in his attic), he also owned a manuscript processional, which he bequeathed to the Claremont Colleges in 1971. 6

XIII 2 In comparison with London, Lambeth Palace M S 1364, the thirteenth-century French bible described by Ker 1:96-97, this manuscript lacks the prayer of Manasses (Stegmuller 93, 2), which usually follows 2 Chronicles, and 2 Ezra (= 3 Ezra, Stegmuller 94, 1), which has been added here by a later hand (now on ff. 536-544v). The Psalter is no longer present, although it may once have been part of the book, and have been removed by the time the fourteenth-century hand added the list of biblical books on f. 586v. There are 53 prologues, in which the main differences from the Lambeth Palace manuscript lie in the Minor Prophets (here with Stegmuller 500, an unidentified prologue to Joel, and Stegmuller 509, 512, 516, 522, 525, 527, 529, 532, 535, 540, 544); this manuscript contains Stegmuller 350 and lacks Stegmuller 327, 462, 494, 547, 553, 589.

XIII 2 Bible, beginning defectively, in the usual order for thirteenth-century French bibles, as described by Ker 1:96-97 regarding London, Lambeth Palace M S 1364. The prologues would presumably be the common set of 64, but missing the first 2 owing to loss of leaves; this manuscript adds Stegmuller 473 to Ecclesiasticus and 508 to Joel; 521 was not copied for Joel. Each book (except for 2 Ezra, Psalms, Song of Songs, the Minor Prophets, and the Catholic Epistles) is preceded by a chapter list: series A of the chapter lists is based on the Vetus Latina text (except f o r j u d g e s ) , the other series on the Vulgate. This manuscript presents the same series of chapter lists as that found in thirteenth-century northern French bibles (particularly of Amiens) up to Ezra; after Ezra the chapter lists have not been studied. The chapter lists in the Pauline Epistles seem close to the Paris chapter division. In the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Apocalypse, the chapter division underlying the lists seems to be the oldest one (pre-Carolingian). 1.

HONNOLD L I B R A R Y , CRISPIN 3 • BIBLE • England, s. XIV™ Bible, Old Testament only, in the order of London, Lambeth Palace M S 1364 (see Ker, 1:96-97), but here including with the canonical also the apocryphal books of Ezra (1 Ezra = Stegmiiller 15; Nehemiah = Stegmiiller 16; 2 Ezra = Stegmuller 96; 3 Ezra = Stegmuller 94, 1; 4 Ezra = Stegmuller 95?; 5 Ezra = Stegmuller 97); the Psalter is given in the 3 versions (Gallican, Roman, and Hebrew) and concludes with Ps. 151 (Stegmuller 105, 3). There are 53 prologues, the differences from Lambeth Palace M S 1364 lying in the addition of prologues to Tobit, Judith, Psalms (Stegmuller 414, 430, 443, 429), and 9 of the minor prophets (Stegmuller 509, 516, 525, 527, 529, 532, 535, 540, 544); not present in this manuscript are Lambeth Palace M S 1364's prologues 357, 462, 547, 553. A contemporary hand, perhaps that of the scribe, has often rewritten entire verses over erasures. In the margin of each prologue (except that of Jerome on f. 1) a contemporary hand has noted "no[n] ex[emplificat?]ur. " An italic hand, s.

Bound in blue morocco with acorn and rosette stamp by Leighton, Brewer St. W., goffered and gilt edges. Written in England, probably for use in the diocese of Norwich since the dedication of its cathedral of the Holy Trinity is entered in the calendar in the hand of the scribe. The later addition of Hugh of Grenoble may suggest that the book passed into Carthusian ownership; if so, the added entry for 17 April, "Obitus Thome Stele patris Iohannis monachi huius domus," may tie the book to the Carthusian house of Sheen in Surrey, founded in 1414, where a Dom John Style died in 1500 (see Dom Andrew Gray's typescript necrology of English Carthusians). 1 Belonged to John Meade Falkner, his sale, Sotheby's, 12 December 1932, lot 411 to Marks and Co.

XIII/XIV, written in gothic littera textualis, with marginalia in a cursive gothic script, possibly English. Written in northeastern Italy, as the frequent references to Padua suggest; the calendar, however, may be of independent origin, since the Paduan saints do not appear in it.

Written toward the middle of the fifteenth century, and given its major decoration (miniatures; reworked initials and added borders) in the early sixteenth century, probably for J o h n III de la Rochefoucauld, O.S.B., bishop of Mende and thirtieth abbot of St. Amant-de-Boixe (1515-1538), in the diocese of Angoulême (see f. 42, lines 7-8, " h u i u s sancti confessoris tui Amancii qui in presente requiescat ecclesia," and the office for the related saint, Eparchius).

The manuscript appears to have been in the library of Anne de Polignac (d. 1554), who was married to François II, comte de la Rochefoucauld. The collection remained in the family until the Revolution, when it passed to Cardinal de Rohan-Chabot. A certain number of manuscripts from that collection were sold anonymously in Paris in 1879 (a note on the copy of the sale catalogue held by the Bibliothèque Nationale identifies the seller as " D u c de R o h a n " ) .

Bound in red morocco with gilt frame borders on front, spine, and back; in the center of the front and back is a cross with the emblems of Christ's passion, s. X V I I ; evidence of fore edge clasps; gilt edges. Written in northern France. According to Dom F. G. M . Beyssac, O.S.B., who examined it at Q u a r r Abbey in 1919, this manuscript was probably written for a convent of Poor Clares in the diocese of Paris. This is suggested by the gold cord frame on f. 1, the frequent mention of " s o r o r e s , " " f a m u l e , " "ancille," " c a n t r i x " in the rubrics and in the text, the presence of the prose for Francis, and a reference in the text on f. 50, lines 10-11, to Francis, " e t sanctissimi confessoris tui patris nostri Francisci"; the presence of Opportuna and the tripling of Genevieve in the litany may indicate Paris. Dom Beyssac dated the second portion of the manuscript after 1481, when Berardus, invoked in the litany (f. 83v), was canonized; the litany reads "Sancte Bernarde cum sociis tuis," apparently in error, since Bernard does not have companions but Berard does. O n the front pastedown the inscriptions "1359 E " and "Fol. 86 d. 3 April 1835. Bibl. Bülov. Beyern. G. H . Sehr." The second note was apparently written by Georg Heinrich Schäffer, who prepared the sale catalogue for the 10 October 1836 sale of the library of F. Gottlieb Julius von Biilow of Schloss Beyernaumberg bei Sangerhausen; this manuscript is listed as no. 589 in that catalogue (Bibliotheca Büloviana, d. i. systematisches Verzeichnis der zum Nachlasse des verstorbenen Herrn . . .
