Cutting with armorial device and legal text, perhaps a limp parchment binding or an advertisement for a legal scribe's wares , in Latin, decorated manuscript on parchment [Italy, fourteenth century] Rectangular cutting, formed from stitching two smaller pieces of parchment together with rough twine, with a penwork initial 'L' with blank parchment designs left blank within its body and foliate sprays, this opening an inscription in a good secretarial hand: "Lacusationum mei Bonifatris in porta Sci Angeli", a large crudely painted double-headed red eagle on yellow grounds (resembling, not but precisely matching the arms of the noble Martinengo family of Milan: as here but with single headed eagle) above a second inscription in a rounded gothic bookhand: "Sub regimine domini Rodulfi de ciconibus. Capit' liber Acuxationum mei Bonifatri eius not' in porta Sancti Angeli", a few pentrials and a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century '2999' at head, reverse blank, scuffed in places, shrunk and cockled on one side, fair condition, 243 by 210mm. On first impression this leaf looks like the front cover of a limp parchment binding once around a legal case, but the fact that it comes from the same collection of fragments as two others sold in our rooms, 9 December 2015, lot 53 (with a pen sketch of a kneeling man) and 54 (with another coat-of-arms painted over a sketched standing figure), raises an alternative possibility. The two sold in 2015 were unlikely to be from bindings related to this one, or even bindings at all, and we suggested there that they were scrap parchment used by an artist or scribe for impromptu work. These leaves may be the work of an artist-scribe produced to show a range of what he could write and decorate for a client. If correct, he may well be the Bonifatrus who worked "in porta Sancti Angeli", named in the legal case ("liber acuxationum") of Rodulfus de Ciconibus. Due to their ephemeral nature, any records of commercial scribes offering their services are of the greatest rarity and importance.
