Title:
Illumination/ornamentation of the incunabulum Inc. I 11 from the collections of the Raczyński Library in Poznań. The problem of iconography and attribution
Creator:
Wagner, Zuzanna
Description:
The collections of the Raczyński Library in Poznań include the incunabulum Epistolae by Saint Hieronimus published in the printing office of Peter Schöffer in Mainz in 1470 (call number: Inc. I 11). This work is relatively richly illuminated, having a number of decorated ornamented initials (rubrics, delicate initials and illuminated initials) as well as a border illuminations – a row of fleuron ornaments depicting a deer, two little monkeys and a bird. An analysis of the zoomorphic motifs has revealed that the zoomorphic motifs are directly related to the content of the book. An analysis of the formal features of the enlarged and decorated capital letters and the first letters of a section of the text made it possible to establish that its originator represented typical German book illumination tradition, and possibly even cooperated with the Mainz-based printing office of Peter Schöffer. A number of certain formal analogies with the incunabulum Inc. 829, currently held at the Jagiellonian Library and widely addressed in the literature, suggest however an alternative attribution, namely that of an anonymous Cracow-based artist (known as the Illuminator of the Decretalia).
