Ribeiro, Luís Campos, Picturing Medieval Health: artistic production and visual discourse in Le Régime du corps of the Ajuda Library (COD 52-XIII-26), Tesi de màster de la Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2016, 192 + cxxii pp.
- Resum
- The Library of Ajuda, Lisbon, Portugal possesses a lavishly illuminated fifteenth-century copy of the popular late medieval dietetics book, Le Regime du corps by Aldobrandino of Siena. Decorated with a full-page frontispiece and one hundred and fifty historiated initials, Codex 52-XIII-26 was one of the latest illuminated manuscripts of this work to be made. This dissertation explores its artists, its production in Bruges in the workshop associated with Philippe de Mazerolles, the Master of the Harley Froissart, as well as its possible connection to the 1479 manuscript commissions of Edward IV of England. It also addresses its circulation in the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century English courts, and its path into Portugal by way of the international book and manuscript market of the eighteenth century. Additionally, this study addresses the codex's decoration and its iconography, comparing it with other known illuminated copies of Le Régime du corps, and providing a first hand overview of their decorative programmes. By offering a detailed study of Codex 52-XIII-26, and making an examination of the visual discourse of the illuminated copies of Le Régime du corps, this dissertation provides a case study for the research on the decoration of deluxe medieval and early Renaissance scientific manuscripts.
