The Book of Hours of Louis De Roucy: Second Enriched Edition (February 2023)Receptio Academic Press, 12.02.2023 This second edition has significant additions to the original version. The Book of Hours of Louis De Roucy was a magnificent manuscript, illuminated by a pupil of the so-called Master of the Troyes Missal. It fell victim to an act of biblioclasm in Germany in 2009. Through the WayBack Recovery Method, Professor Carla Rossi has recovered the manuscript’s iconographic cycle and over a hundred text leaves, thus reconstructing the manuscript and providing a virtual facsimile edition. By offering for the first time the diplomatic transcription of texts from a Book of Hours for the use of Châlons sur Marne she has made available to scholars a useful resource for future verification of Champenois liturgical customs. The original digital reconstruction has been enriched with new leaves and miniatures. The Author analyses the coat of arms which is reproduced at least six times in the manuscript in more detail, once again confirming on the basis of new evidence that it belonged to Jean VII, Count de Roucy Pierrepont and Sire de Montmirail, in accordance with the wishes of his mother Jeanne. In 1438 Jeanne signed a document in which she undertook to leave all her possessions to her son, on condition that the latter used her father’s (Jean VI, Count de Braine and de Roucy Pierrepont, died at Azincourt in 1415) heraldic coat of arms. Jean VII, in turn, without any legitimate heirs, left his title as well as his heraldic coat of arms to Louis (1465-1536), his illegitimate son from the relationship with Isabelle de Montchâlons. The teenage male patron depicted on folio 191v, kneeling before the Virgin in a full page miniature to the 'O intemerata' prayer, is likely Louis himself. The obsessive presence of the De Roucy coat of arms in the manuscript may be explained as a de facto legitimisation of the young aristocrat. DOI: 10.55456/boh2 |
