MISSAL, in Latin, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM [eastern Flanders or Hainault, c.1520] 337 x 230mm. 189 leaves: 1-4 8, 5 7(of 8, lacking viii), 6 8, 7 7(of 8, lacking vii), 8-11 8, 12 7(of 8, lacking viii), 13-17 8, 18 7(of 8, lacking i), 19-23 8, 24 8 + 1, lacking a further leaf at end, likely four of the missing leaves with illumination, two columns of 23 lines written in black ink in a gothic bookhand between four verticals and 24 horizontals ruled in grey, justification: 237 x 68-20-68mm, rubrics in red, text capitals touched red, one-line initials of red and blue, two- to four-line initials alternately of red flourished violet and blue flourished red, some four-line initials of both colours, FOUR ILLUMINATED INITIALS and FOUR HISTORIATED INITIALS accompanied by three-sided trompe l'oeil borders, THREE LARGE MINIATURES with full-page borders, mostly of similar type but one with narrative scenes (a few tiny pigment losses, a small crease and a smudge in extremities of outer border of f.1). French 19th-century green morocco gilt (scuffed). PROVENANCE: 1. Benedictine Abbey of St Adrian, Geraardsbergen (Grammont), eastern Flanders. We are grateful to Dr Lorne Campbell for his identification of the arms on folios 1 and 89 as those of Jan de Broedere, alias van Coppenhole, Abbot of St Adrian's from 1506 until his death in 1526. The Missal was certainly intended for use in the abbey: the Collect for De sanctis ecclesie (f.104) names the principal relics 'contained in this church' as of Sts Adrian and Natalia, and St Adrian is given particular prominence among both the votive masses and the Sanctoral. The dedication of the abbey, established at Geraardsbergen in 1071, changed from St Peter to St Adrian with the transfer in 1110 of the latter's relics. The efficacy of Adrian's relics as protection against plague and sudden death had wide renown; Louis XI of France made a substantial endowment to the abbey, partly to pay for four large bells, in order to enlist the aid of the saint. The king is shown in a miniature by the Master of the Older Prayerbook of Maximilian, accompanied by his queen and in prayer before the abbey's altar -- with a carved retable showing St Adrian standing on a lion's back -- in a manuscript Life of St Adrian in Vienna (ÖNB, Cod.ser.n.2619). Although the 12th-century Lectern Bible (Schoyen collection) from the abbey is well known, the only other illuminated manuscript hitherto recognised as having come from St Adrian's is the four-volume Breviary in the library of the Abbey of Maredsous: T. Delforge, 'Le Bréviaire de Saint-Adrien de Grammont', Scriptorium , XII, 1958, pp.102-104 and L.M.J. Delaissé, 'Les Techniques du Livre dans le Bréviaire Bénédictin de Grammont', ibid , pp.104-107. Interestingly, that is of almost precisely the same dimensions as the present Missal. The abbacy of de Broedere was a period of great prosperity and it was then that Jan Gossaert perhaps at the expense of the abbot, painted the altarpiece of The Adoration of the Kings (National Gallery, London) for the chapel of the Virgin in the abbey's church. De Broedere is reported to have restored or built this chapel and it may be that he had this Missal made for use there. The abbey was suppressed in 1797 and most of the buildings demolished in 1798. CONTENT: Masses from the Temporal, from Easter Sunday to the 10th week after Pentecost ff.1-88v; Prefaces ff.89-93v; Canon of the Mass ff.94-101; Collect, Secret and Postcommunion of 28 votive masses ff.102-111v; Masses of Trinity, Holy Spirit, Holy Cross, Blessed Virgin Mary, Sts Peter and Paul, St Adrian, of the Dead ff.111v-122; Collect, Secret and Postcommunion of 14 Masses for the Dead ff.122-128; Lections for the Mass of the Dead for each day of the week ff.128-131v; Mass for the Dedication of the Church ff.131v-133v; Masses from the Sanctoral, from the Feast of the Annunciation (lacking opening leaf) to St Germanus (lacking final leaf) ff.134-189v.
