PSALTERS , *JERUSALEM in the Bible - Abstract
The essay is a plea for ending the hunt for the message inscribed into the final shaping of the Psalter. After the psalms had to suffer from exaggerated form-critical categorisation and other approaches, the Psalter is not in need of having its content labelled with inadequate generalising terms. The complexity of the psalms does not favour this approach. Instead, the psalms are waiting to be appreciated as textual individuals and each psalm as part of its special position in a manageable cluster of texts. In view of the Psalter as a whole the predominance of petition and praise, manifest in the title Tehillim, deserves closer theological attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MAPS , *MEDIEVAL manuscripts , *ART history ,BIBLICAL commentaries - Abstract
The article investigates how two thirteenth-century T-O maps in the British Library Map Psalter interact with their textual setting. The maps occupy the two sides of a single folio. On the recto is a pictorial world map with 91 place names; on the verso, a list map indicates 75 provinces and 77 cities within Asia, Africa, and Europe. The maps occupy a unique place within the history of medieval cartography because they are the only mappaemundi extant within a Book of Psalms. The specific relationship between the maps and the texts of the psalms is, however, less studied. I propose that the maps allude to the content of the psalms and complement images in the historiated initials, cultivating exegesis, prayer, and contemplation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts were collected in North America from about 1820. Four key sources of them can be identified: 1. Ancestral ownership of books brought by early settlers; 2. Acquisitions by missionaries and scholars; 3. Mementos acquired by elites on European Grand Tours; 4. Purchases by bibliophiles from international sales catalogues, domestic booksellers, and auctions of imported volumes. Examples of such manuscripts are identified in this article, and their early owners are recognized as pioneering collectors. A small but profitable commerce in manuscripts emerged in major cities, chiefly New York, where the firm of Daniel Appleton held an early monopoly. Appleton’s had acquired two chests of illuminated manuscripts in Paris. Selling was a challenge, however. Since medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the New World were unreadable books because of language and script, enterprising booksellers were forced to develop innovative ways to sell them. Appleton’s, for example, used “placement advertising” to sell its manuscripts, publishing articles on medieval topics that mentioned or evoked manuscripts. Two ways of marketing manuscripts came to predominate by the middle of the nineteenth century. The book dealer Joseph Sabin promoted “artifactual reading.” He emphasized the materiality of manuscripts, their possession by fanatic monks, their esoteric rarity, and the possibility of owning the lifetime work of a sensitive, if unschooled, artist. Sabin detailed his ideas in the auction catalogues he authored. George P. Philes, by contrast, published a newsletter called Philobiblion, in which he debunked Sabin’s manuscript mythologies. His marketing was bibliographical. Manuscripts, Philes suggested, were not rare, nor the life-works of religious, nor objects of mystical veneration. He marketed elite collectors who considered themselves New World aristocrats. Philes got his novel ideas from Archives du Bibliophile, a Paris journal published by Anatole Claudin. Philes translated many of its articles and even sold manuscripts that had been offered in Archives. This effort was a rare instance of influence by the Paris booktrade on the New York market. Des manuscrits du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance se trouvaient en Amérique du Nord dans les années 1820. On peut identifier quatre types d’origine : 1. la propriété ancestrale de livres anciens apportés par les premiers colons ; 2. des acquisitions par des missionnaires et des érudits ; 3. des souvenirs acquis par les élites lors de leur « Grand Tour » d’Europe; 4. des achats par les bibliophiles dans les catalogues de vente internationaux, auprès de libraires nationaux et des ventes aux enchères de volumes importés. Des exemples de tels manuscrits sont identifiés dans cet article, et leurs premiers propriétaires y sont considérés comme des collectionneurs pionniers. Un commerce de manuscrits, modeste mais rentable, a vu le jour dans les grandes villes, principalement à New York, où la firme de Daniel Appleton a détenu un premier monopole. Appleton’s avait acquis deux coffres de manuscrits enluminés à Paris. La vente fut cependant un défi. Étant donné que les manuscrits médiévaux et de la Renaissance dans le Nouveau Monde étaient des livres illisibles en raison de la langue et de l’écriture, les libraires entreprenants ont été contraints de développer des moyens innovants pour les vendre. Par exemple, Appleton a utilisé la « Placement Adverstising » pour vendre ses manuscrits, publiant des articles sur des sujets médiévaux qui mentionnaient ou évoquaient des manuscrits. Deux modes de commercialisation de manuscrits ont prédominé au milieu du xixe siècle. Le libraire Joseph Sabin a promu la « lecture artefactuelle ». Il a mis en avant la matérialité des manuscrits, leurs premiers propriétaires – des moines fanatiques – , la rareté de leur caractère ésotérique , et la possibilité de faire l’acquisition des œuvres complètes fabriquées par des artistes sensibles, bien que sans éducation. Sabin a détaillé ses idées dans les catalogues de ventes aux enchères qu'il a rédigés. George P. Philes, en revanche, a publié un bulletin appelé « Philobiblion » et mis en place un marketing bibliographique. Dans ce bulletin, il a démystifié les mythologies manuscrites de Sabin : les manuscrits n’étaient pas rares, ils ne contenaient pas des œuvres uniques de religieux, et n’étaient pas des objets de vénération mystique. Philes a fait commerce avec des collectionneurs d'élite qui se considéraient comme des aristocrates du Nouveau Monde. Il a emprunté ses idées aux «Archives du Bibliophile», une revue parisienne publiée par Anatole Claudin, dont il a traduit bon nombre de ses articles. Il a même vendu des manuscrits qui avaient été offerts aux « Archives ». Cet collaboration est un rare exemple d'influence du libraire parisien sur le marché de New York.

The manuscript collection of Charles Dyson Perrins is well known among scholars, in large part due to the publication of an imposing and detailed catalogue by George Warner in 1920. Perrins has become associated with spending large sums of money on manuscripts and the account of his purchase of the Gorleston Psalter following a visit to a bookshop in search of something to read on the train is a legend of the trade. The first sale of his manuscripts after his death in 1958 achieved a record total. However, like most early twentieth-century collectors, Perrins’ catalogue only contains a selection of the manuscripts that passed through his hands. Reconstructing the larger collection therefore sheds light on the choices made in creating and publishing parts of his manuscript collection. Perrins began collecting manuscripts as an extension of his interest in early printed books and maintained a strong interest in late medieval and renaissance manuscripts. The influence of a small group of collectors and scholars, and in particular Sydney Cockerell, helped shape Perrins’ manuscript collection and publicise it through its use as the basis for the Burlington Fine Arts Club exhibition of illuminated manuscripts in 1908 and the creation of monographs on particular volumes as well as the 1920 catalogue. In contrast, only part of the printed collection ever received a published catalogue. Cockerell may also have been involved in Perrins’ decision to sell some of his manuscripts, anonymously, in 1907. These decisions have had significant consequences for the long-term ownership of and scholarship on these manuscripts, and provide a case study of the impact of early twentieth-century collectors on the development of the study of medieval books.

International audience; For almost a century now, the medieval juggler has been the subject of a large number of studies. Whether discussed as a representative of a social category, as one of the earliest representations of the artist or as a moral type, the treatment to which this figure has been subjected reverberates, almost invariably, with negative undertones. There are as yet only timid attempts to view the juggler as anything but an archetype of perversion. To attempt such a rethinking is one of the purposes of the present study. I propose to look at the juggler, within the image, as being first and foremost a body in action, an "actor" characterized by a specific language of gestures. Such an iconographie approach might prove fruitful in redefining this figure, by enabling us to go back to the primary (bodily, gestural) sources of its symbolism. It is through his relationship with the other elements in the iconographic context that the juggler acquires a specific symbolic function. When he seems to be submitted to a music of the body (we might speak of instinctual drives), he signifies the submission of the spirit to the flesh. On the other hand, when the iconographic context expresses a spiritual music, that is to say a music founded on the mathematical dynamics generated in the soul and in the entire Church by the Holy Spirit, it becomes clear that the body can be, and should be an instrument enabling the true Christian to speak or sing or behave according to the laws of God.; Depuis presque un siècle, le jongleur médiéval fait l'objet de très nombreuses études. Apparaissant tantôt comme l'archétype d'une catégorie sociale, tantôt comme la plus précoce représentation de l'artiste ou comme un "type" moral, les visages qui lui sont donnés renvoient presque invariablement un reflet négatif. Toutefois, quelques essais timides tentent de le considérer autrement que comme un archétype de la perversion. Le "repenser" ainsi est un des buts du présent article. Je propose de regarder le jongleur, à l'intérieur de son image, comme étant d'abord et avant tout, un corps en action, un "acteur" caractérisé par un langage gestuel spécifique. Une telle étude iconographique peut porter ses fruits en redéfinissant ce personnage, par un retour aux sources primaires (corporelles, gestuelles) de son symbolisme. C'est à travers ses relations avec les autres éléments du contexte iconographique que le jongleur acquiert une fonction symbolique spécifique. Quand il semble soumis à une musique corporelle (nous pouvons parler de pulsions), il dénonce la soumission de l'esprit à la chair. A l'inverse, quand le contexte iconographique exprime une musique spirituelle, c'est-à-dire fondée sur la dynamique mathématique que l'Esprit-Saint génère dans l'âme et dans l'Eglise toute entière, il semble clair que le corps peut et doit être un instrument permettant au vrai chrétien de parler, de chanter et d'agir selon les lois de Dieu.

ISBN : 3-89244-523-0; International audience; Analyse iconographique de l'une des plus célèbres miniatures carolingiennes : le frontiscipe du psautier de première Bible de Charles le Chauve (ou Bible dite de Vivien) conservée sous la cote ms. lat. I de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France (f° 215 v° ; fig. I). cette analyse abonde dans le sens de l'hypothèse qui explique, en grande partie, la qualité d' 'unicum' de l'image. L'auteur applique à l'image une méthode d'analyse progressive. Elle montre tout d'abord sa complexité et sa richesse formelle afin de mettre à jour tous les détails susceptibles de participer au discours plastique. Un premier niveau d'interprétation est ensuite proposé, qui repose presque exclusivement sur le potentiel symbolique des figures, et considère donc l'image dans sa dimension exégétique (analogique). un second niveau d'interprétation, plus cryptologique, s'efforce enfin d'intégrer le tout des éléments visuels dans un système discursif cohérent : en l'occurrence, un cheminement vers la compréhension profonde de la relation analogique. Le savoir ne se suffit pas à lui-même en ce milieu du IXe siècle : il n'est rien sans l'intelligence des causes, seule vraie connaissance.

Une relecture du Psautier comme prière du David des livres de Samuel est perceptible dans les psaumes à titres davidiques qui renvoient aux livres de Samuel, et surtout aux menaces contre David. Dans le Ps 18, la réaffirmation davidique (v. 1) et messianique (v. 51) constitue une réponse à ces titres et à la remise en cause de la perspective messianique (Ps 89). Un parallèle au Ps 18 a été par la suite inséré en 2 S 22, qui fait du guerrier d’Israël l’auteur des cantiques d’Israël., A re-reading of the Psalter as a prayer of the David of the books of Samuel is perceptible in the psalms with Davidic titles that refer to the books of Samuel, and especially to the threats against David. In Ps 18, the Davidic (v. 1) and Messianic (v. 51) reaffirmation is a response to these titles and to the challenge to the Messianic perspective (Ps 89). A parallel to Ps 18 was later inserted in 2 Sam 22, making the warrior of Israel the author of Israel’s songs.
