Book of Hours, Marginalia, Walters Manuscript W.88, fol. 58v by Walters Art Museum Illuminated Manuscripts

This small Book of Hours is especially interesting for its profusion of humorous drolleries. Humans, animals, and hybrids are featured in the margins of each page of the book. The artists rendered in small scenes a variety of actions, like cooking, playing game, climbing, fishing, making music or moving the bodies in a dance. These drolleries amuse the faithful during his prayers, while showing scenes that work as metaphors of the soul fighting the vices. The original female owner seems to have been established in the diocese of Cambrai, judging from the use of the Office of the Dead. Several provenance episodes are evidenced by the book in the signatures on the leaves at the beginning and end of the manuscript. A priest in the sixteenth century wrote a message in code on fol. 1v asking to return to him the book if lost. Members of the ducal house of Savoy owned this book of prayer in the seventeenth century, as evidenced by the gilt armorial shield of Charles Emmanuel II (1634-75), duke of Savoy, stamped on the covers.

1001 Manuscripts - 1001 Stories

e-codices has been digitizing manuscripts since 2005, and by now it cooperates with all major manuscript libraries in Switzerland. With this new update with 20 more manuscripts, it has surpassed 1,000 manuscripts.

This milestone is being celebrated with a manuscript written in Persian containing a tale from One Thousand and One Nights.

By the way, Switzerland has about 7,500 medieval manuscripts and several times as many modern manuscripts. Making all these manuscripts accessible on the Internet in an exemplary manner within the next several years remains e-codices’ ambitious, but, quite realistic and definitely desirable goal. (taken from the newsletter from October 2013, Issue N° 12) www.e-codices.unifr.ch/newsletter/archive/issue-12.htm

Manuscript title: “The story of Seyf ol-Molûk and Badî`ol-Jamâl"

Manuscript summary: This manuscript, written in Persian, contains the story of Prince Seyf ol-Molûk and Princess Badî`ol-Jamâl.
