Content: Jacobus de Voragine, Legenda Aurea, 'Incipit prologus super legendas sanctorum quas compilavit frater Jacobus nacione Januensis de ordine fratrum predicatorum. Universum tempus presentis uite in quatuor distinguitur [...] ab octavo pentecosten usque ad adventum domini. Explicit prologus super legendas sanctorum.', p. i; 'Incipiunt capitula tocius libri. De aduentu domini / De sancto andrea apostolo / [...] / De dedicatione ecclesie', pp. i-1; main text: 'De adventu domini. Adventus domini per quattuor septimanas agitur [...] vivit et regnat deus per omnia secula seculorum. Amen. Expliciunt legende sanctorum deo gratias', pp.1-525. Jacobus de Voragine, who became a Dominican in 1244 and died in 1298, after six years as bishop of Genoa, wrote various works of which the Golden Legend, perhaps of the 1260s, was by far the most successful. A compilation to accompany the major feasts in the church calendar, the Golden Legend details the lives and miracles of saints and explicates events in the lives of Christ and the Virgin, ordered according to the liturgical year. It must have been the most widely consulted authority on these matters and is consequently an invaluable insight into what was generally known by writers, artists, and their patrons. About a thousand manuscripts survive, in the original Latin and in translation, and about a hundred printed editions had appeared before the sixteenth century. The original text of 176 chapters was expanded over the years with updating and with feasts specific to certain localities. It was also translated into many languages including the first English edition by William Caxton in 1483 It was also translated into many languages (including English, by William Caxton). Illumination: The flourished initials, and border decoration are northern French or south Netherlandish in character. Provenance: (1) Pierre Goyet (1724-1794), numismatist, archaeologist, bibliophile, and canon of Villefranche-sur-Saone (north of Lyon), who died at the guillotine (on whom, and for a reproduction of his book label, see W. Poidebard et al., Armorial des bibliophiles de Lyonnais, Forez, Beaujolais et Dombres (Société des bibliophiles lyonnais, 1907), pp. 278-79): his book-label. Goyet's library was sold in Lyon on 10 April 1809 at auction: the catalogue is extremely scarce. (2) Unidentified 20th-century German-speaking dealer, with his typescript description stuck to the first flyleaf. (3) Howard Lehman Goodhart (1884-1951), stockbroker and bibliophile: his leather book label inside upper cover. By descent to his daughter: (4) Phyllis Goodhart Gordan (1913-1994): her leather book label inside upper cover, MS 28. On deposit at Bryn Mawr, BMC 10.
