From Choir Book To Scrap Book: The Initials In Hmml Bean Ms 3, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
A consideration of the origin of a group of cuttings contained in a 19th-century album (Collegeville, Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, Bean MS 3), with an analysis is the relationship of the initials' figural subjects to the texts they introduced. The cuttings, a series of historiated and decorated initials, were taken from one of a pair of choir books made in northern France or Flanders for a house of Cistercian nuns in the 13th century.

The Seven Deadly Sins Of Hieronymus Bosch, Sally A. Struthers Ph.D.
The Seven Deadly Sins Of Hieronymus Bosch, Sally A. Struthers Ph.D.
Sally A. Struthers, Ph.D.
Some have tried to explain the iconography of Bosch’s works through alchemy, astrology, medicine and the Adamites. Bosch’s work is rich, and seems to come from a number of sources, but he always drew from traditional Christian themes. The sinfulness of mankind is a major theme in Bosch’s oeuvre, and is bound up with the late Medieval theme of the punishments of the damned at the Last Judgment. The theme of the seven deadly sins pervades every surviving painting by Hieronymus Bosch.

750 Years In The Life Of A Pair Of Cistercian Antiphonals, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
Examines the provenance and dissemination of a multivolume antiphonary produced for the Cistercian nunnery near Cambrai. The MS is presently dispersed through several collections. In 1983 the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, purchased from the German art collectors Peter and Irene Ludwig 19 leaves and four cuttings from the MS (MS Ludwig VI 5).

Latin Verse Inscriptions In Anglo-Saxon Art, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Latin Verse Inscriptions In Anglo-Saxon Art, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
This article identifies the corpus of surviving Anglo-Saxon works of art with newly composed Latin verse inscriptions: 19 paintings and drawings in seven manuscripts, one carved stone, and one engraved portable altar. A significant flourishing of the practice of including verse in works of art is associated with the Benedictine monastic reform movement of the mid-10th century. The nature of the relationship, both denotative and spatial, between the inscriptions and the images they accompany is explored through the examination of selected representative examples. It is proposed that the Anglo-Saxons understood this poetry to be an essentially written and visual art …
