TO SEYMOUR DE RICCI AND WILLIAM JEROME WILSON

CREATORS OF THE CENSUS

FOREWORD Twenty-seven years ago Seymour De Ricci ended the Preface to Volume I of

the Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada with these words: “No recognition will be more gratifying than the assurance that others will take to heart the continuation and improvement of our Census.” The use of “our” was not editorial: De Ricci was speaking also for his collaborator, Dr. William Jerome Wilson, who took a grandfatherly interest as well at various stages of the present Supplement. Twenty-seven years seems a long time to wait for the recognition called for by

De Ricci. But a great war intervened; and apart from that, the delay should not be taken as a gauge of either the quality of the achievement or its usefulness to the whole world of scholarship. The dedication to De Ricci and Wilson of this Supplement is a small reflection of the debt owed to these pioneers, to whom the book belongs in a higher degree than is commonly indicated by dedications.

De Ricci’s prefatory note sets forth in detail the history of their Census, but it should be summarized here as background for the history of the Supplement. The

idea of a union handlist of early manuscripts in American collections had long attracted scholars, and in 1925 the American Council of Learned Societies determined to take action upon it. The deliberations of an advisory committee bore fruit in 1929 with the appropriation of funds by the A. C. L. S. and the General Education Board for the project, and the appointment of De Ricci to carry it out, seconded by Wilson.

De Ricci had visited the principal libraries in the United States immediately after the first World War, gathering material that was published in 1922 as A Handlist of Latin Classical Manuscripts in American Libraries. The Census was a logical extension of the Handlist. Moreover, De Ricci was without a peer in his knowledge of provenance. As he very reasonably remarked, “Every [early manuscript] now in America [except for some of Latin-American origin] was at one time in Europe and the chances are that it was seen there, collated there. It is often very difficult to identify a MS. once seen in Europe with a volume now existing in America and yet the task is a necessary one.” This task he was uniquely equipped to carry out, and in some ways the result is the most brilliantly executed part of the design. He and Wilson were based at Washington, where the project was administered by the Library of Congress, but they both traveled extensively and all but a handful of descriptions in the Census result from their personal examination. We are all familiar with the two weighty volumes that De Ricci and Wilson produced, printed abroad with lavishly unwieldy typography on fine heavy French paper. The first appeared in 1935, the second in 1937; in 1940 came the slim third volume, containing the all-important indexes. Here ends the history of the Census, with the hope expressed that it should be continued and supplemented from time to time. The years since then have been a period of active collecting by American institutions and individuals. Many manu-

scripts have crossed the Atlantic from Europe, and a few have made the return journey. As De Ricci predicted, many important private collections that he had vil

vill Foreword recorded have been dispersed by private sale or public auction; others have passed intact by gift or bequest into institutional libraries. The Census, like all such surveys of a growing organism, was out of date before it saw print. It remains an indispensable work of reference, but it no longer truly reflects the state of American holdings.

Neither, by the way, does the present Supplement. At least two of the private collectors whose manuscripts are recorded in the following pages have moved to new homes in different states; some cighteen manuscripts recorded in another private collection have been sold at auction in London as recently as December, 1961; and numcrous early manuscripts have been added to various collections, public and private -—— all too late to be recorded in the cold type of the Supplement.* An annual supplement to the Supplement, to be published in the pages of the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, is proposed to keep the information more nearly up to date.

The present Supplement springs from proposals made as early as 1942 by Professor C. U. Faye, of the University of Illinois Library. But the war years were unfavorable for such projects, and it was not until 1948 that Professor Faye was designated as Editor and given a grant by the A.C.L.S. for out-of-pocket expenses. Faye determined that information for the Supplement, unlike that in the Census,

should be furnished by the owners or curators of the manuscripts. Indeed, the available grant did not permit any other course, and the work was planned accordingly. In December, 1948, Professor Faye issued a six-page printed announcement with an introductory statement by Dr. Wilson, urging cooperation and providing a simple formula for the d¢scription of manuscripts. This was mailed to all owners represented in the original Census, and to other persons and institutions who were likely owners. Returns were to be made by the end of 1949, and publication was planned soon thereafter. The response exceeded expectations. Professor and Mrs. Faye spent a half-year’s leave in the Widener Library at Harvard putting the mass of information into order. At that time, the A.C.L.S. lacked funds to publish the Supplement, and the Mediaeval Academy of America stepped forward with a proposal to print it in Speculum, the Academy’s journal. But the text proved too lengthy for periodical publication, and the Academy did not have funds for separate publication. Nor was subvention forthcoming from other sources. While the Supplement was at a standstill, American collections continued to acquire manuscripts, and some of those already recorded by Faye changed hands. At the beginning of 1957, the materials for the Supplement were in the office of the Mediacval Academy in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but the information was increasingly out of date, difficult of access, and without immediate prospect of publication. Meanwhile, Professor Faye had retired from the staff of the University of Illinois, had left Urbana, and no longer had the facilities of a large research library readily available to him. “Dr. Dorothy Schullian (p. 429) has moved from Cleveland, Ohio, to Ithaca, New York; Mr. Robert Pirie (p. 405), from New York City to Hamilton, Massachusetts. And in the Sotheby

sale of 11 December 1961, the following manuscripts changed hands (reference to the Supplement is given first, with page number followed by a period and the item number): 64.5,

lot 185: 71.59, lot 186; 72.65, lot 182; 72.66, lot 187; 72.71, lot 191; 74.84, lot 183; 77.108, lot 184; 77.110, lot 192; 79.126, lot 188; 84.177, lot 181; 84.183, lot 190; 85.191, lot 194: 86.193, lot 178: 87.206, lot 180; 88.207, lot 196; 89.221, lot 193; 90.224, lot 195: 91.237. lot 179.

Foreword 1X Now the Bibliographical Society of America came to the rescue by offering to publish the Supplement. With Professor Faye’s agreement, and with the promise of his cooperation, Dr. W. H. Bond of the Houghton Library, Harvard University,

undertook the editorship for the Society, which provided a grant for current expenses.

Dr. Curt F. Biihler was at that time Chairman of the Society’s Publication Committee; since then, the special responsibility for the Supplement has been assumed by a committee headed by Dr. Thomas E. Marston and including Miss Dorothy Miner and Mr. William S. Glazier.

On 25 March 1957 a circular announcing the revival of the Supplement and repeating the rules for description was sent to all earlier contributors and other interested persons, to provide an opportunity to bring the listings up to date. The announcement was reprinted in various learned journals. At the same time, work | was begun on a wholly new typescript, since the text as it stood presented problems for the compositor, and the new editor had decided on a typographic style simpler than that of the Census. Once more the response to the announcement was excellent; so good, in fact,

that what had appeared in prospect as a simple editorial task assumed entirely different dimensions. Professor Faye’s devoted efforts had brought together a large amount of information. Now, unexpectedly, and only eight years later, the quantity doubled.

Today, with the perspective of a few additional years, and the emphasis of a number of remarkable sales, we can see what was happening. The post-war years

marked the latter end of an era of collecting: the last real chance to acquire significant early manuscripts in quantity with any degree of freedom and selectivity. Therefore it is in a way fortunate that the Supplement was delayed, for as a_ result

it records an important period of growth, and it represents a relatively stable situation. The influx of early manuscripts in the next half century, indeed in any foreseeable period of the future, will be only a trickle compared with the acquisitions recorded in the Census and its Supplement. Collections and individual manuscripts will change location and ownership; collectors and libraries will continue to have opportunities from time to time to add a significant new manuscript. But only some almost inconceivable set of circumstances could produce a substantial new reservoir for acquisitions, or depress prices to the point where collecting on a large scale would again be economically feasible. The spectacular growth of American collections during this period is a tribute to the private and professional collectors who foresaw this state of affairs and acted accordingly. The proposed annual supplement to follow this volume will show changes and additions — perhaps many changes, as scholars examine the manuscripts it records. But the actual additions to collections are unlikely to be proportionately numerous.

The Supplement is intended to be used with the original Census, and is in no way a substitute. Simple cross-references are employed to avoid duplication of

information, and a concordance of page and item numbers provides an additional , link between the two works.

De Ricci’s geographical arrangement has been retained. Collections recorded

x Foreword in the Census occupy the same relative positions when they reappear in the Supplement, and newly reported collections are interpolated where appropriate. Like its parent work, the Supplement is limited to Western manuscripts before

1600. With few exceptions, later manuscripts are listed only when they have already been recorded by De Ricci. The elements comprising the descriptions also follow the pattern established

by De Ricci, although their typographical style has been slightly modified in the interest of simplicity and compression. The information in a full description will be found arranged in four paragraphs: (1) manuscript number or shelf-mark, authors,

and titles, with incipits when appropriate; (2) physical descriptions; (3) provenance; and (4) references in scholarly literature, especially those containing illustrations. The last two paragraphs are silently omitted from descriptions in which no relevant data were available. Authors and titles are given as far as possible in the form and spelling favored

by De Ricci, although his practice was sometimes inconsistent and idiosyncratic. The preservation of his occasional eccentricities make the Supplement easier to use in company with the Census, and should confuse no experienced scholar. When

more than one work occurs in a manuscript, each identification is followed in parentheses by an indication of the folios or pages occupied; folio numbers without

suffix are understood to be rectos, while versos are followed by the letter “v.” Incipits are given in italics and are separated from explicits by a roman “x.” The physical descriptions follow the terms established by the Census. They begin with the material of the manuscript (vel{lum] or pap[er]), the number of folios (ff.) or, less commonly, pages (pp.), and the dimensions of an average leaf to the nearest centimetre, giving the height first. Next come the place of origin and date, the name of the scribe (if known), a note on the decoration, and finally the binding.

The text is followed by seven indexes and a concordance, all of which should | be self-explanatory. As in the Census, the references to scholarly literature in the text have not been indexed.

Users of the Supplement scarcely need to be warned that in no instance does

it pretend to set forth the last word about any of the manuscripts it lists. Like every compilation from widely scattered sources, it is bound to contain inconsistencies. Every effort has been made to avoid inaccurate or misleading entries, but it would be astonishing if all errors and ambiguities have been avoided. This volume locates and enumerates the raw materials of scholarship. As the manuscripts receive

the study they deserve, preliminary identifications will be revised and new discoveries will be made. Corrections, refinements, and additions to the published descriptions will be welcomed for future supplements.

An attempt has been made to locate manuscripts that had been described in the Census whose ownership subsequently changed, with references to auction sales or other published catalogues. But there remain numerous manuscripts in the Census that cannot be located today, and readers who can furnish information about them are earnestly requested to do so. The continuing location of a known manuscript is as important as the description of an unknown one.

Foreword xi Those responsible for the Supplement hope to follow it with an annual cumulation in the Publications of the Bibliographical Society of America, to contain reports of hitherto undescribed manuscripts, changes of location, and revisions and corrections of published descriptions. The continued assistance of the community of scholars and collectors is invited for this purpose, so that we will not have to wait another quarter century for a further supplement.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am beholden to the following for their aid to the work connected with this Supplement to the De Ricci-Wilson Census: Dr. Carl M. White, Director of the University of Illinois Library; his successor, Dr. Robert B. Downs and members of the staff of this library; Dr. Waldo Leland of the American Council of Learned Societies, under whose aegis I began collecting material for the Supplement and who saw to it that I was granted a sum of money for out of pocket expenses; his assistant, Dr. Dougherty, who continued to aid me as long as I was connected with

the work; Dr. Henning Larsen, then Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois, to whose good offices I am chiefly indebted for

the sabbatical leave granted me by the University of Illinois; the owners of the manuscripts for. their painstaking work in making the descriptions of their holdings

listed herein; Dr. Keyes D. Metcalf, then director of the Harvard Libraries, and members of his staff, particularly Professor W. A. Jackson and Dr. W. H. Bond; Dr. Curt F. Biihler, then Chairman of the Publication Committee of the Bibliographical Society of America, for providing this Supplement with a publisher; Dr. W. J. Wilson, the collaborator with Seymour De Ricci in the original Census, whose patience and wisdom have ensured continuity in the undertaking; and, finally, my

wife, Alice, who has stood by me, serving as my secretary. All of my work on the Supplement was done while I was still an active member of the staff of the University of Illinois Library.

} I too am indebted to many of those named in Professor Faye’s acknowledgements, and to many more as well. A compilation of this sort is not the work of one or two individuals, but a vast cooperative effort. Many of the owners, curators, and librarians who are named throughout the text as providing certain descriptions also cheerfully and promptly answered the innumerable supplementary questions arising from the editorial process. Without their knowledge and good will the Supplement could not have been made. Sharing special responsibilities or providing special assistance were the following organizations and persons: the Mediaeval Academy of America, its executive secretary, Dr. Charles R. D. Miller, and Dr. Van Courtlandt Elliott, who served as interim custodians of the materials of the Supplement, and who provided an extra copy of the Census for editorial work; the Bibliographical Society of America, its

president, Mr. Frederick B. Adams, Jr., its publications chairman, Dr. Curt F. Biihler, and its special committee for the Supplement, Dr. Thomas E. Marston, Miss Dorothy Miner, and Mr. William S. Glazier; Dr. John F. Plummer, of the Pierpont Morgan Library; the staff of the Houghton Library, and in particular my

xiv Acknowledgements colleagues, Professor W. A. Jackson and Messrs. Philip Hofer, G. W. Cottrell, Jr., and James E. Walsh; and the staff of The Shoe String Press and their subcontracting compositors, particularly Mrs. Frances T. Ottemiller and Mr. Joseph M. Feinmark, both of whom have cheerfully endured much. Dr. Marston is also to be thanked for exertions far beyond the normal responsibilities of a committee chairman. Finally, I thank my family for patience and forbearance on the many instances in the past

five years when the ever-present Supplement interfered to some degree with ordinary household occasions. W. H. Bonpb
