Collection of sermons, offices and prayers compiled by Michel de Voulges
- Scope & Content:
-
Michel de Voulges was a French monk who took orders in 1491 under Claude de Hangest, Bishop of Noyon, possibly at St-Eloi of Noyon where Claude later became abbot in 1526. The collection begins with a detailed table of contents (ff. 2-4) and consists primarily of sermons, prayers and meditations on religious subjects, but also incorporates a calendar (ff. 29-34v), almanacs, music (ff. 194-201) and texts by humanists such as Petrarch, Nicolas de Clamenges, and the Dominican reformer Girolamo Savonarola.

Paper and parchment. Modern foliation in pencil. 293 x 212mm. One 16th-cent. cursive hand. 16th-cent. full calf-leather binding on wooden boards. Front and back boards have floral decorative panels in blind tooling.
The MS is written in the hand of Michel de Voulges who signed his work several times (f. 257v). He writes primarily in cursive script but uses red, blue and yellow coloured initials, pen decoration and the first lines of each text to experiment with a variety of styles. He appears to have commissioned an artist to illuminate the first folio with a decorated initial and partial border and a scroll bearing his name in gold. Additionally, a number of engravings on single sheets have been bound into the volume: The Crucifixion after Dürer appears twice, with the second copy illuminated (ff. 50, 120), The Resurrection, after Lucas Cranach the Elder, with Christ standing at the centre holding a banner, surrounded by sleeping guards, (f. 207), The Lamentation, after Lucas Cranach the Elder, with Christ at the centre, surrounded by the Virgin, St John, Mary Magdalene, Nicodemus and Joseph (f. 157).
