| Abstract | |
The manuscript studied in this thesis is preserved in the Municipal Library of Cambrai, France, under the reference number 528. It has 273 parchment folios, measuring 450 mm in height by 380 mm in width, and features a modern brown leather binding. The manuscript\'s ornamentation includes 4 miniatures, 24 historiated initials, 16 decorated initials, and 266 red initials. The first two images open the manuscript, while the other two, along with the initials, mark the beginning of the readings to be performed in the Divine Office. The textual content of the manuscript consists of homilies and sermons, written in Carolingian minuscule, organized according to the Homiliary of Paul the Deacon. The liturgy covers the summer Temporal, with texts from Good Friday to the readings of Ordinary Time, and a section of the annual Sanctoral, with readings for the feast days of Saints. The codex also contains a calligram and a table with the genealogy of Christ. Catalogs indicate that it was produced between the 11th and 12th centuries and that it was intended for the Abbey of Saint-André-du-Câteau, information this thesis aims to revisit, as it is a manuscript that has been little studied. Additionally, the thesis includes a study of the organization of the texts and codicological and paleographic analyse to support the analysis of the ornamentation, which is our primary objective. We propose to examine the relationships between the miniatures and historiated initials with the texts, identifying cases where text and image are closely aligned and follow the iconographic tradition, and those where there are differences between text and image. Moreover, the thesis also examines the non-historiated ornamentation, consisting of vegetal and animal forms, with their own logic. The thesis also includes a study of reception marks: interventions in two initials and the insertion of eight decorated initials, as well as manicules and doodles in the margins (AU) | |
