Manuscript is two codices bound together. The first is a Cistercian Antiphonary from the mid-twelfth century from Italy and the second is an early thirteenth century hymnal.
|
|
Provenance:
|
Belonged to and probably written at the Cistercian Abbey of S. Maria di Morimondo (founded 1134; Cottineau 1985 86), in the vicinity of Milan, Italy. The earliest portions of the manuscript were written before 1174, the date of the canonization of St Bernard of Clairvaux, the antiphons for whose feast were inserted soon after this date (ff. 66 70). This earlier portion seems to have been written by a French scribe. Jean Leclercq lists and describes other Morimondo mss. in 'Manuscrits Cisterciens dans des Bibliothèques d'Italie,' Analecta Sacri Ordinis Cisterciensis 7 (1951) 71 74; it is evident from his descriptions that later products of this scriptorium were not as austere as this one. The hymnary portion was written by Beltramus de Redoldis (sic; elsewhere Beltramus de Rioldis), a monk of Morimondo, in 1291. Morimondo was suppressed in 1799. Acquired in September, 1770, by Carlo Trivulzio. Trivulzio Belgioioso Trotti collection of Milan; sold to Hoepli (cat. 5); sale by Leavitt (New York, 27 Nov. 1886, no. 47; auction label on front paste down). Purchased by Charles F. Gunther of Chicago; bequeathed to Historical Society of Chicago. Acquired for Gethsemani Abbey in April, 1922, through the mediation of J. Christian Bay, of the John Crerar Library, Chicago.
