Illuminated Manuscript on Vellum – Leaf from a Latin Glossary for Biblical Words – The Middle Ages
A manuscript vellum leaf, presumably from a Latin glossary of Biblical words (from a Bible?). [Europe, late Middle Ages?]. Latin.
Two pages (four columns), written in brown ink. Initials in blue and red ink. Historiated initials, gilt.
Leaf is comprised of words beginning with the letters M and N, including Hebrew words: "Moloch" (translated as "rex" – king); "Naas" (translated as "serpens" – serpent); "Naar" (translated as "puer" – boy); and more.
Enclosed are two leaves handwritten by Prof. Malachi Beit-Arié, expert in Hebrew paleography and founder of the Hebrew Paleography Project. According to him, this glossary bears a resemblance to two important glossaries - the glossary kept at the Cistercian Abbey Library of Zwettl in Austria and the glossary kept at the Ripoll Abbey in Spain.
[1] f, approx. 12.5X18 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes. Two small pieces of paper glued to margins. Placed in a 19.5X14 cm frame; unexamined out of frame.
