A MONK RINGING THE BELLS, historiated initial "E" on a leaf from an ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT CHOIR BREVIARY ON VELLUM [Bologna, beginning of the 15th century] Leaf 369x260mm, initial 60x60mm, pink on burnished gold ground, painted in a coloured design of green, blue and red acanthus leaves and a floral and foliate extension along the length of the page. Containing the figure of a monk in dark grey habit standing ringing the bells on blue ground. Text double column, 20 lines, written in brown ink in a gothic rotunda, rubrics in red, with two lines of music on 4-line red staves; 20 lines of text on verso. The leaf has the original foliation lxxxviii. The miniature illustrates Psalm 80 ' Exultate Deo adiutori nostro '. The leaf belongs probably to a Franciscan choir book. The iconography is close to Niccolò da Bologna's Trento Breviary, cf. M.Bernasconi and L.dal Poz, Codici miniati della Biblioteca Comunale die Trento (ms.1563) figs.116-117. It is clearly related to and possibly by the same artist who illuminated the leaf of an antiphonal sold at Sotheby's 22 June 1993 lot 57. Another leaf from that manuscript is in the Cleveland Museum of Art and described by P.M. de Winter in the Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art LXX (1983). It is there compared with the illumination of the Statutes of the Guild of Cloth Merchants in Bologna dated 1407. Another leaf with similar decoration and possibly by the same artist is in the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, cf. Canova no.63 with plate.
