ST MICHAEL VANQUISHING THE DEVIL, miniature on a leaf, with the text leaf with COLOPHON DATED 1408
ST MICHAEL VANQUISHING THE DEVIL, miniature on a leaf, with the text leaf with COLOPHON DATED 1408 1. 174 x 130mm. St Michael vanquishing the devil, miniature above four lines of the antiphon; the verso with responsary and versicle, with one-line initials, and prayer, with two-line initial, and rubric for John the Baptist, three line-endings, within full border. 2. 174 x 130mm. The final section of the prayer to the Virgin, O intemerata , from mea in lumine gratie sue , within full border; concluding on the verso and followed by the colophon Factum est anno m o cccc o viij o quo ceciderunt pontes parisiu s (some losses to orange of mantle, small loss to halo and grass at left edge, water damage to initial below miniature and to text and borders on both leaves). The two leaves with double-sided card mount made for Chester Beatty, with pencil notes by Eric Millar, in a black cloth folding case, gilt lettering piece. Provenance: Chester Beatty Sale, Sotheby's, 24 June 1969, lot 58H; Sotheby's, 18 June 1991, lot 18. Although Michael's spear has pierced the Devil's side, his serene pose suggests a victory not of physical strength but of innate virtue. The composition was reworked in reverse a few years later in the Boucicaut Hours where, appropriately for the maréchal de France , Michael is in armour and exchanges the inevitable triumph of the 1408 miniature for a more agitated struggle (reproduced by A. Châtelet, L'âge d'or des manuscrits à peintures et les Heures du maréchal Boucicaut , 2000, p.234). The leaf with St Michael was f.160 and the leaf with the colophon f.158 in the original volume; f.159 with a suffrage to the Trinity is now in the Princeton University Museum. (2)
