PROVENANCE:
The prominence given to St Severinus, fifth-century bishop of Bordeaux makes it clear that the manuscript was intended for use in that diocese, perhaps in the Basilica of St Seurin. The oath to be taken by the Archbishop of Bordeaux on his first entrance, written on the verso of the second fly-leaf in a 17th or 18th century hand may indicate that by that date the manuscript belonged to the Cathedral. The manuscript was exhibited by the Société Philomatique de Bordeaux at the Exposition de l'Art Ancien in 1865.
Purchased Emil Offenbacher 20 January 1949.
CONTENT:
Juramentum quod tenetur facere R. in christo Archiepiscopus Burgidalensis in suo primo ingressu, addition in a 17th or early 18th-century hand, p.2; Vita di Sancti Severini, opening 'Dominus ac redemptor noster caput indelicet totius universalis' pp.3-24; Prologue and Life of Saint Severin arranged as nine lections, opening 'Explicari aquo vis facili orationis cursu' (prologue) and 'Beatissimus igitur severinus ut legitur ingestis (coloniensium then inserted) pontificum' pp.25-87; three Lections on St Amand pp.87-90; Gospel Lections and Sequences for the principle feasts pp.91-159; Canon of the Mass, followed by Prefaces and Prayers pp.160-191; Masses for the Dead, for the Bishop and Abbot, Congregation, for a dead man, a dead woman etc ending with Benedictions at burial and at the font pp.191-208.
This is an early manuscript of historic significance for the city of Bordeaux. Script and type of musical notation indicate a date around the middle of the twelth century, and the manuscript provides a valuable record of liturgical practice and manuscript production within the city. Its later, additional, role as the book upon which the Archbishop took his oath on first entering the church shows the authority that the manuscript had as a venerated object. The champlevé cross, enamelled on copper (232 x 118mm), has a repoussé and gilt corpus and was probably made for use on a book cover: it may well always have adorned this manuscript.
