On the textual var-iants see M-232; Powell, Prolegomena, 18 notes that this editionwas based on a di¡erent ‘B’ text from that used by Caxton in his1483 edition (M-232, above).The homily for St Margaret (no. 48)has been omitted.

[Oxford: Theodoricus Rood], 19Mar. 1486/7. Folio.Dated14 Oct.1486 by Du¡, Oates, and BMC. The colophon reads: (1486) ‘theday aftir |eint Edward the kyng’and is taken by Du¡, Oates, andBMC to refer to St Edward the Confessor (whose translation washonouredon13Oct.), rather than to St Edward,King andMartyr,honoured on 18 March (Madan, Pr, Sheppard). Rood used the

style of the Incarnation, starting the year on 25 March(Sheppard).

Probably added at the same time as the dec-oration: the two leaves replacing the original fol. cxxx^xxxi, [o1,2], see above; musical notation on staves ruled in brown ink, simi-lar to that added to BL C.13.c.2; marginal notes, mainly chapterreferences for Epistles and Gospels; on [o12

On [C8

r]: ‘my� henburg’, perhaps the name ofthe scribe. The added masses for Sts Adalar, Boniface, andEoban suggest a connection with Erfurt, or perhaps Fulda,though St Boniface is given less prominence. Adalar and Eobanare among saints added to the calendar in BL C.13.c.2, andcross-references in the text of the BL book suggest that it oncecontained at the beginning added masses, now lost, includingone for St Eoban, similar to those added here.

On [a1

v.Binding: Sixteenth-century English (London, second half of thecentury) blind-tooled calf over wooden boards, with gold-tooledspine; two clasps and catches lost. On both covers intersectingtriple ¢llets form four concentric frames. Within the second,third, and fourth frames is a ‘heads in medallions’ roll (Oldham,Blind-stamped Bindings, pl. xlvii, rolls 775, 772, 775 [repeated]).Further triple ¢llets form the inner rectangle which is decoratedwith a lozenge formed by triple ¢llets containing Oldham, Blind-stampedBindings, pl. xlvii, roll 772. Size: 356¿ 262¿ 73mm.Sizeof leaf: 345 ¿ 249 mm.In 32 places the chapter headings have been painted over withminiatures, the obliterated text being written in the margin in asixteenth-century hand. Three- and ¢ve-line initials are suppliedin red with gold acanthus scrolling or in gold on blue or redgrounds; paragraph marks are supplied in gold on red or bluegrounds decorated in gold; capital strokes in yellow; the device ispainted over in gold, blue, red, brown, and pink; the text isenclosedwithin single red rules, with ruling in red. A leaf insertedbefore B1 has on the verso a full-page painting in three compart-ments, illustrating the beginning of part II of the Chroniques. Inthe upper left-hand compartment, a ¢gure dressed in black sittingon a seat covered with a £eur-de-lis covering, gives or receives adocument from two kneeling ¢gures, whilst three others look onfrom behind; in the upper right-hand corner a French king isshown in a red and gold gown kneeling on the right, about toreceive communion from a priest assisted by two acolytes on theleft, with four ¢gures behind, looking on and dressed in £eur-de-lis tabards, oneholding abluebanner with thewords‘Vive leRois’in gold on it; in the lower compartment a French king is seated ona throne coveredwith a £eur-de-lis cover, on either side ofwhich isabishop, andwith courtiers atboth sides, includingone on the leftwho is holding a sword, and two on the right, one holding a robe

of blue with golden £eurs-de-lis and ermine, the other a helmetsurmounted by a golden crown. This illumination seems to illus-trate the beginning of part II of the Chroniques, with the news ofthe death of King Charles VI of France (1368^1422) being con-veyed to his son, Charles the Dauphin, Duke of Touraine (1403^1461), followed by the latter’s coronation as Charles VII. It andthe other miniatures are French, probably Parisian, early six-teenth century, and by the same artist.Provenance: Traces of an inscription(?), unreadunder ultravioletlight, on the pastedown of the lower cover.
