DESCRIPTION:
Ioan. Chrysostomi [John Chrysostom]. Chrysostomi Constantinopolitani. Homilias Complectens. Apud Inclyam Galliae Lutetiam, P. Gromorsus, 1522. 2 vols. folio; a8-hh8, ii10, volume 2: a8-R8, S7. Title pages decorated with wood-cut design, text with decorated initials throughout. Bound in rubricated 12th-13th century vellum manuscripts
Volumes 1 and 2 of John Chrysostom(i)’s (St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople) complete works/homilies published in 1522. Both volumes are bound in c.1150-1250 medieval Latin missals, with rubricated, decorated, and historiated initials.
The vellum missals include sections from "The Epiphany of our Lord, ”containing scripture from Isaiah 60 and Mathew 2; "The Fifth Sunday After Epiphany,” and "The Sixth Sunday After Epiphany,” containing scripture from Mathew 13 and Psalm 96; “The First Sunday after Epiphany,” and “The Feast of the Baptism of our Lord,” containing scripture from Luke, and Psalm 99; as well as “The Second Sunday After Epiphany,” and “The Third Sunday After Epiphany,” containing scripture from Psalm 65, John 2, Psalm 96, and Romans 12.
Chrysostomi’s Homily on Epiphany/Theophany and on Matthew continue to be read throughout the world during Epiphany, and it seems no accident that these manuscripts were chosen for binding these tomes.
CONDITION: Good condition, collated complete; the vellum manuscripts are beautifully painted and decorated, with damages and lacks to vellum binding; volume 1 cracked, with some loose pages; water stains, a hole at Kiii, and some marginal tears; both volumes with scratched out signature on front blanks.
