Couvent des pères Franciscains (Monte-Carlo, Monaco)
Note:
Title from ms. spine title: "Concorda[n]. Bibli[a]e"; range of dates from Rouse & Rouse. Ms. copy of the third of three surviving medieval concordances of the Scriptures, on which the modern Latin Biblical concordance is based. Attributed to Konrad of Halberstadt the elder, although the concordance was described in a Paris stationer's list as early as 1286, too early a date for Halberstadt to have been responsible for it. Cf. R.H. Rouse and M.A. Rouse. "The verbal concordance to the Scriptures," Archivum Fratrum Praedicatorum 44 (1979):5-30. Gothic bookhand in brown ink, in three columns of 51 lines; light plummet ruling; catchwords in brown, within rectangular cartouche; small initials in red; capitals in first lines of columns extending into the upper margins, some with calligraphic embellishments and grotesques, in brown and red ink; 11 six- or seven-line capitals in red and blue, adorned with red and blue penwork, marking the... Signatures: 110(-1) 2-2310. Originally comprising two volumes, with alphabet divided between letters A-M, and N-Z; Newberry Library has only v. 1. A few scattered medieval marginal annotations. Partially legible ownership inscription in bottom margin of leaf [1] indicates a Carthusian origin. Ownership stamps throughout text of the Couvent des Pères Franciscains of Monte-Carlo, 11 Avenue Roqueville.
