Stolen Leaves and Cuttings [8]

[detail]

A Bishop Blessing a Monk
Leaf from a Pontifical
France, Avignon, c. 1320s
310 × 215 mm

The manuscript from which this leaf comes, and many of the dispersed leaves, have very recently been published by François Avril, "Quelques éléments nouveaux relatifs à la production avignonnaise du temps du pape Jean XXII. À propos d’un pontifical de Guillaume Durand dépecé", Cahiers de Fanjeux, 51 (2016), pp.413-56.

I have been asked to spread the word about a number of leaves and cuttings that were stolen from a private collection in London a few years ago. Rather than post them all at once, I will aim to do one per day for the next several days, and then do a cumulative list that you can print out and keep handy for future reference. Please circulate the details to colleagues. If you see, or have seen, any of them please contact info@samfogg.com
