This essay recreates the story of ms. Rothschild 2529, that is a Breviary « secundum usum Cisterciensem » copied at the monastery of Poblet (Tarragona), between the end of XIV and the beginning of XV century, upon the request of Martin I of Aragon. After having analyzed several documents, some of which unpublished and some others never related to the Rothschild, it is shown that the King did not commission the ms. for himself but for his own son Martin I of Sicily. After the death of both of the Kings, the Breviary came into possession of Margaret of Prades and eventually was bought by Alfonso the Magnanimous. In the appendix it is analyzed the Night office ferial Lectionary of the Lent of the Breviary, that was organized following all the detailed instructions of Martin I of Aragon and that diverges from that one expected in the cistercian cursus.
Questo contributo ricostruisce la storia del ms. Rothschild 2529, un Breviario «secundum usum Cisterciensem», copiato nel monastero di Poblet (Tarragona) fra la fine del XIV secolo e il principio del XV su committenza di Martino I d’Aragona. Dall’esame di diversi documenti, in parte inediti e in parte mai messi in relazione con il Rothschild, si evince che il re non commissionò il ms. per sé, ma che lo fece realizzare per suo figlio Martino I di Sicilia. Dopo la morte dei due sovrani, il Breviario entrò in possesso di Margherita de Prades e infine venne acquistato da Alfonso il Magnanimo. In appendice si analizza il Lezionario dell’Ufficio notturno feriale di Quaresima del Breviario, la cui articolazione, costruita seguendo le dettagliate istruzioni di Martino I d’Aragona, diverge da quella prevista dal cursus cisterciense.

This essay recreates the story of ms. Rothschild 2529, that is a Breviary « secundum usum Cisterciensem » copied at the monastery of Poblet (Tarragona), between the end of XIV and the beginning of XV century, upon the request of Martin I of Aragon. After having analyzed several documents, some of which unpublished and some others never related to the Rothschild, it is shown that the King did not commission the ms. for himself but for his own son Martin I of Sicily. After the death of both of the Kings, the Breviary came into possession of Margaret of Prades and eventually was bought by Alfonso the Magnanimous. In the appendix it is analyzed the Night office ferial Lectionary of the Lent of the Breviary, that was organized following all the detailed instructions of Martin I of Aragon and that diverges from that one expected in the cistercian cursus.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
