Co St fofjit, the Eagle — because he soared upwards to the contem- plation of the Divine nature of the Saviour. the interest which has of late years attached to this important subject, the Illuminator trusts that these few prefatory remarks on the origin and symbolism of Christian art may not be deemed obtrusive.* the view to render the Decorations of these pages appropriate, and not merely idle ornaments, the Illuminator was of opinion that a series of the Apostles, with their accompanying symbols, as treated by the Early Masters of Christian art, would, with great propriety, form a principal feature of ornament ; and he has, accordingly, moulded the rest of his plan conformably to the suitable introduction of such a series of figures. details (which are all strictly original, and not bor- rowed from illuminated MSS.) have been also rendered, whenever opportunity occurred, appropriate to that portion of the text to which they immediately form the ornament. It has also been attempted, though with infinite variety of detail, to preserve throughout, certain general features of decoration, which should give continuity and completeness of effect to the entire volume. Cfje figures 1 &c, taken from the Old Masters, are not critically close copies. The object has been to adapt them to the present purpose, with all their general features of character and symbolism, and without losing any of their spirit, though frequently altering the detail. The colouring has, in every instance, been supplied by the Illuminator. * For copious information on this interesting- subject, see the works of M. Cape- figue-M. P. Durand— M. Didron— Lord Lindsay- the Treatises of the Benedic- tines—the " Rationale Divinorum Officiorum," composed by Durandus, in 1286— the Treatise of Miss Lambert; and, above all, the " Letters on Legendary Art," of Mrs. Jameson ; to which I am much indebted in these prefatory remarks. DESCRIPTIVE INDEX. Bescrtpttbe Untie* of tlje J^traclcs. The title-page contains a figure of the Saviour, represented as in the act of speaking - , in a niche, ornamented in a style corresponding with the rest of the volume. . Page 1 has an interlaced bordering of imaginary foliage, forming a niche, to receive the figure of St. Paul :— a form of border more or less closely adhered to throughout the volume. St. Paul, after an etching by Martin Shoen- gauer, is represented bearing the Gos- pels, and the sword with which he suffered decapitation. An illuminated miniature, of original design, represents the miracle of the Water changed into Wine: and vine-branches are in- troduced in the design of the border as appropriate ornaments. Page 2.— The same subject. With a similar border, containing the figure of St. Matthias, holding the Gospels, and a lance,— the instrument of his mar- tyrdom : after the fine design of Albert Durer. Page 3.— Conclusion of the Miracle of the Water changed ntoWine. With an ornamental border, containing a female figure, pouring wine, with ves- sels copied from ancient authorities. The tail-piece, at the end of the mira- cle, is formed of a vine-branch and wine-cup ; and in the lower part of the border are drinking vessels of various forms. The whole of original design. Page 4.— Subject, the Widow's Son restored to Life. In the border is introduced a figure, representing the widow's son throwing back the shroud : and in the lower part of the border are the implements of the grave-digger, &c. Pages 5 and 6 have borders composed of merely conventional ornaments; con- taining a miniature, representing the Nobleman beseeching Christ to heal his Son : of original design. Pages 7 and 8 are enriched witli bor- derings to the Miracle of the Dis- easedCripple Restored. 7, contain- ing a figure of the cripple raised, but still leaning on his crutches : and c , the same figure perfectly restored, allow- ing the useless crutches to fall to the ground. In the lpwer part of the bord r, the bed and crutches form the central ornament : and in the capital letter and tail-piece, the crutches are strewed with flowers. Pages8 and9.— Containing the Mira- culous Draught of Fishes: with borders formed of imaginary corals of brilliant colours, and other marine ob- jects. P. 8 forms a niche, containing the figure of St. Andrew, bearing the cross on which he suffered crucifixion, from the fine etching of the artist known as "the master of 1446:" his principal works bearing that date. P. 9 contains the figure of St. John, from the same master : the sacramental cup which he holds, from which a snake is seen emerging, embodies the ancient legend, that, during his stay in Rome, an at- tempt was made to poison him in the sacramental wine ; from which, the poi- son miraculously departed in the form of a serpent. The illuminated minia- ture represents one version of the mira- culous draught of fishes ; altered, to suit the situation, from an etching of the 15th century. Page 11.— The border, as still enclos- ing the Miraculous Draught of Fishes, is entirely composed of marine objects, such as sea-weeds, shells, &c. ; and the niche contains a figure, drag- ging to land an enormous fish. The whole of original design. Page 12.— The border, for the sake of symmetrical effect, is the same as 11, but contains a figure of the Leprous Man : and the shells have been omitted. Page 13.— Has a border composed ex- pressly for the fine figure of St. Simon, after Raphael : the saw which he holds symbolising the martyi dom he suffered, by being sawn in two. Tie miniature in the lower part of the border represents the man sick of the palsy, who was let down through the roof, described in this page. iv DESCRIPTIVE INDEX. Page 14 is similar in design to 13. The miniature represents the act of heal- ing the palsied man ; the figure in the niche is one of the Evangelists, after Zuccaro, but unaccompanied by any symbol. Pages 15 and 16.— Subject, the Five Thousand Fed. In the borders the "barley loaves" and " small fishes" are made principal ornaments, with ears of corn interwoven, and other appropriate objects. Page 17.— The border contains the figure of St. Bartholomew, after Al- bert Durer. He holds a knife, the in- strument of his martyrdom. The illu- minated miniature, Christ walking on the Sea, and other ornaments, are original designs. Page 18.— The border contains the fi- gure of St. Philit, after Albert Durer. He holds a sort of staff, with a cross at the top, from the tradition that he stayed the plague at Hieropolis, by holding up an image of the cross. Pages 19 and 20 are merely decora- tive borders, the subject not appearing to suggest any feature of ornament as especially appropriate. Page 21. — The border contains the figure of St. Jude, after the " master of 1446." St.Judeisgenerally distinguished by a halbert, as in the present instance, but sometimes by a cross reversed. Page 22 has the figure of St. Peter, also after the " master of 1446." He holds " the keys," and the Gospels: he sometimes bears two keys, one of gold and one of iron ; that is, the one of heaven, and the one of hell. Pages 23 and 24 are enclosed in simply ornamental borders. The miniature, worked in gold, represents the Raising of Lazarus. Pages 25 and 26 have merely decora- tive borderings, in which it has been sought to give variety, without depart- ing from the key on which the rest of the volume is composed. Pages 27 and 28. — The borders enclose the narrative that precedes the resur- rection of Lazarus, and contain figures of Martha and Mary, from etchings of the 15th century. Pages 29 and 30.— The border of 29 contains the figure of St. Thomas, after Lucas Cranach. The saint is represented as holding a carpenter's rule, or square; a symbol adopted from the legend, in which he is made the spiritual architect of the palace of King Gondoforas.— The border of 30 contains a figure of St. James, after the " master of 1446." St. James, who travelled into the most re- mote lands to teach the truths of the gospel, is generally distinguished by the cockle-shell,— the badge of the pil- grim, or wayfarer for a sacred object. Page 31, the last, is merely enclosed in a rich border of foliated ornaments : the tail-piece being from a fine etching of the beginning of the 16th century. The Cover.— It has been sought to render the cover also appropriate, by enriching it with medallions represent- ing the principal miracles : it has been partly taken from a magnificent cover in carved ivory, executed in the 12th century, and enclosing a remarkable MS. of the Gospels, now in the British Museum. The designs of the medallions are original. % % 2,317 THE GETTY CENTEK WBRARY / ffi Mm } Ci Mm
