Par jean luc deuffic le vendredi 27 mars 2009, 10:04
Les passionnés de l'enluminure et du manuscrit médiéval d’outre Atlantique
auront l’occasion en cette année 2009 d’assister à une multitude d’expositions
assez exceptionnelles. Pas moins de cinq musées organisent ou organiseront des
manifestations en l’honneur du roi manuscrit :
Romance of the Rose : Visions of Love in Illuminated Medieval
Manuscripts
Roman de la Rose : Visions de l'Amour dans les manuscrits médiévaux
enluminés
Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD USA : January 24-April 19, 2009
[Link]
The Romance of the Rose, a 13th-century poem written in Old French,
was among the most popular and influential literary texts of its day. The
allegorical treatment of such an enduring subject as "Love" and the exploration
of the notion of "Quest" make this focus show widely accessible to diverse
audiences. The exhibition features nine different manuscripts of the Romance of
the Rose drawn from collections in North America, along with a selection of
medieval ivories from the Walters collection. The exhibition is a collaborative
project between the Walters, Johns Hopkins University, and the Bibliotheque
Nationale in Paris.
German and Central European Manuscript Illumination
J.
Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA USA : February 24-May 24,
2009 [Link]
This exhibition explores the tradition of manuscript illumination—book painting
using brilliant colors and precious metals—in Germany and central Europe. A
beloved artistic medium, illumination began with the flowering of book
production under Charlemagne in the early 800s and continued even after the
invention of the printed book in the 1400s.

Heaven on Earth : Manuscript Illuminations from the National Gallery
of Art
Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD USA : April 25-July 19, 2009 [Link]
Rare medieval manuscript illuminations, last exhibited in 1975, will be
showcased in a stunning installation, Heaven on Earth: Manuscript Illuminations
from the National Gallery of Art. This exhibition offers the first in-depth
look at these rare medieval manuscript illuminations from 52 single leaves and
4 bound volumes, among them a number of important recent acquisitions, which
date from the 12th to the 16th century and were made in France, Germany,
Austria, Bohemia, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy.
Prayers in code : Books of Hours from Renaissance France
Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD USA : April 25-July 19, 2009 [Link]
During the late Middle Ages, Books of Hours became common tools of private
devotion and sought-after status symbols. Carried by fashionable ladies and
collected by rich bibliophiles, Books of Hours differed greatly in style and
ornament but were predictable in choice of pictures. The 24 manuscripts plus
one painting in this exhibition will present unusual images that introduce a
new fashion for emblems and rebuses (pictures depicted together to represent a
word) while challenging our understanding of the relationship between the
illustrations and the prayer text. With selected loans to complement the
museum’s collection, this exhibition will explore the patronage at the court of
King Francis I (1494–1547) during a time when the controversies over Humanism,
Reformation and Orthodoxy shaped the intellectual life of discerning
patrons.
Saturday May 23, 2009, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore
A symposium organized in conjunction with the loan exhibition
“Prayers in Code: Books of Hours from Renaissance France,” April 25–July 17,
2009, at the Walters Art Museum.
Papers will address the vibrant exchange between artists, printers, and patrons
in France in the fi rst half of the 16th century and explore book production
during a time when controversies over humanism, reformation, and orthodoxy
shaped the intellectual life of discerning patrons.
Organized by the Walters Art Museum in collaboration with the Charles Singleton
Center for the Study of Pre-Modern Europe, with the generous support of an
anonymous donor.
Free ; advance registration is required. To register please contact Kathryn
Gerry at kgerry@thewalters.org. For more information visit the online calendar

Temptation and Salvation : The Psalms of King David
J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA USA : June 9-August 16, 2009 [Link]
This exhibition illustrates the various ways that medieval artists illustrated
the Psalms,” says Elizabeth Morrison, curator of manuscripts. “At times they
concentrated on the literal meaning of single verses, and at other times
addressed broader themes, such as the role of the Psalms in preparing the
Christian faithful for the Last Judgment.”
Temptation and Salvation : The Psalms of King David is co-curated by Mary
Flannery, University of London, and Elizabeth Morrison, curator of manuscripts
at the J. Paul Getty Museum
Pages of Gold : Medieval Illuminations from the Morgan
Morgan Library & Museum, New York, NY USA : June 19-September 13, 2009
[Link]
Approximately fifty best examples are shown in the exhibition, including those
of Italian, English, French, Flemish, German, Hungarian and Spanish origin.
Several of the leaves are on view for the first time. This exhibition is
supported in part by a grant from the Virginia M. Schirrmeister Charitable Lead
Annuity Trust.
Out-of-Bounds : Images in the Margins of Medieval
Manuscripts
J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA USA : September 1-November 8, 2009
[Link]
Part of the genius of medieval art lies in its unique ability to combine
serious and profound images with playful and witty ones. In illuminated
manuscripts, a primary artistic medium of the Middle Ages, scenes in the
margins of a page often comment on the paintings illustrating the text in the
center. As often as they expand on the narrative, they poke fun at the lofty
themes and, more broadly, at human foibles. Out-of-Bounds: Images in the
Margins of Medieval Manuscripts explores the margins of medieval books and
explains its wealth of subject matter: children playing games, romantic
pursuits, men battling fantastic creatures, and composite figures—half-human,
half-beast—that wend their ways through the sinuous foliage of the painted
borders.
The Art of Illumination : The Limbourg Brothers and the Belles Heures
of Jean de France, Duc de Berry
The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
New York, NY USA: September 22, 2009-January 3, 2010 [Link]

La Bibliothèque Universitaire de Chicago [Lien] expose deux
manuscrits précieux de la littérature médiévale: Le Roman de la Rose
(ms 1380) et le Jeu des échecs moralisés (ms 392) ...
Communiqué donné sur le site University of Chicago News Office

University of Chicago Library reunites 'most popular medieval love
poem' with its mate ...
The University of Chicago Library acquired a 14th-century manuscript of “Le
Roman de la Rose,” or “The Romance of the Rose”—which scholars have referred to
as the most popular medieval love poem — reuniting it after a 100-year
separation with a manuscript with which it was previously bound.
In 1907, the manuscript of “Le Roman de la Rose” was separated from that of “Le
Jeu des Échecs Moralisé,” or “The Moralized Game of Chess,” which the
University of Chicago Library acquired in 1931.
Both manuscripts will
be on display in the Library’s Special Collections Research Center at 1100 E.
57th St., beginning Feb. 14 as part of the exhibition: “Romance and Chess: A
Tale of Two Manuscripts Reunited.” Opening remarks will be made at 12:30 p.m.
at the Valentine’s Day opening by Alice Schreyer, Director of the Special
Collections Research Center; Daisy Delogu, Assistant Professor of Romance
Languages and Literature; and Aden Kumler, Assistant Professor of Medieval Art
and Architecture at the University of Chicago. The event is free and open to
the public. The exhibit will run through March 14.
“Bringing the two parts of this book back together will enable discoveries that
would not be possible if they remained apart,” Schreyer said.
Added Delogu, “This ‘Le Roman de la Rose’ manuscript has extraordinary
potential to enrich research and teaching opportunities here at Chicago, and
will be of interest to scholars of manuscript culture and literary studies
worldwide. ‘Le Roman de la Rose’ is arguably the single-most influential
vernacular text of the late French Middle Ages.”
In addition to selected photographs and information already available online,
the Library plans to add digital surrogates of the manuscripts to its Web site
by Feb. 14 at http://roseandchess.lib.uchicago.edu.
The initial section of “Le Roman de la Rose,” an allegorical poem on the art of
love, was written by Guillaume de Lorris beginning in the late 1230s — at the
height of the age of courtly love and chivalry. The poem was extended and
completed between 1270 and 1280 by Jean de Meun, who presented a more rational
and cynical view of love. Numerous copies of the poem were made. The copy
acquired by the University of Chicago Library was created in France about 1365
— almost 100 years before the invention of the printing press. The manuscript
includes more than 40 miniatures by the Master of Saint Voult, an artist
associated with illuminators who worked for King Charles V.
Chicago’s manuscript of “Le Jeu des Échecs Moralisé” was also created in France
about 1365, and includes 13 illuminations by the Master of Saint Voult. The
recorded provenance, or ownership history, of the two manuscripts bound
together in one book dates to the 16th century.
In 1907, the manuscripts were purchased at Sotheby’s by Sir Sydney Cockerell,
who had the volume disbound. The University of Chicago acquired “Le Jeu des
Échecs Moralisé” in 1931; Cockerell sold “Le Roman de la Rose”to an antiquarian
bookseller, Pierre Berès, in 1957, who later sold it to a private individual.
The manuscript remained in private hands until it was purchased by the gallery
Les Enluminures LTD of Paris and Chicago.
Sandra Hindman, a University of Chicago alumna who represented Les Enluminures,
recognized the unusual provenance of the manuscript.
“Very few manuscripts of ‘Le Roman de la Rose’ now exist in private hands, so
the opportunities for collectors — individuals or libraries — to acquire a copy
remain very limited,” Hindman said. “This one, with its sterling provenance and
its rich 14th-century cycle of illumination by an artist of the French court,
is unusually fine.”
Members of the Library Visiting Committee, the University of Chicago Library
Society, individual donors and the B.H. Breslauer Foundation also recognized
the importance of bringing the manuscripts together. Their donations, combined
with library endowments, made the purchase of this “Le Roman de la Rose”
possible. It is now one of the highlights in the University of Chicago
Library’s collection of early manuscripts, which also includes more than 60
Goodspeed New Testament manuscripts.
University faculty members in the departments of art history, music, Romance
languages and literatures, English and history are pleased about the impact
that the acquisition will have on research and teaching at Chicago.
“The reunion of parts of a medieval manuscript provides a rare and wonderful
opportunity,” said Christina von Nolcken, Associate Professor in English
Language & Literature and Chair of the Committee on Medieval Studies. “This
is especially the case today, when scholars tend to work with manuscripts as a
whole rather than with individual texts.”
