Animal musicians in illuminated manuscripts (1300-1450)
2014
International audience; The illustrations of illuminated manuscripts between 1300 and 1450 featured a very large number of animal musicians. They were set in the marginal borders of the pages, and framed the text and miniature with their musical sonorities. Along with King David, animals were the main musicians featured in medieval illuminations, far more numerous than angels and minstrels. The monkey, dog, fox and half-animal, half-human hybrid creatures were the " champions " of instrumental music. At the crossroads of history and art history, musicology and literature, their representations suggest that we identify typologies of books, animals and instruments. They raise several question…
A Poem for All Seasons: Alcuin’s “O vos, est aetas”
2017
There is no complete account of the transmission of Alcuin’s poems, which is apparently quite unpredictable if not random. The circulation of a number of short compositions, which accompany his treatises and his letters, and their circulation together, is so far uncharted. Particularly intriguing is the manuscript tradition of “O vos, est aetas,” a poem in seven distichs, in which young men are encouraged to learn rhetoric and to cultivate virtue. The poem generally occurs in connection with two prose works by Alcuin, the De dialectica (henceforth DD) and the Disputatio de rhetorica et virtutibus (henceforth DR). It may be copied either between the two treatises, before the prologue poem of…

Textos mèdics, morals i culinaris en un còdex valencià excepcional. Anàlisi del ms. 216 de la Biblioteca Històrica de la Universitat de València
2015
[cat] Estudi i proposta de reconstrucció del ms. 216 de la Biblioteca Històrica de la Universitat de València. Es tracta d'un còdex de la primera meitat del s. XV, actualment restaurat, que ha patit importants pèrdues de folis, mentre que altres han estat relligats en ordre incorrecte. El volum conté obres mèdiques i doctrinals, com ara traduccions catalanes del Thesarus pauperum de Pere Hispà, del Macer floridus d'Odó de Meung o del llibre II dels Disticha Catonis, i també obres escrites originalment en català, com el Llibre de Sent Soví i els Mil proverbis de Ramon Llull. El mal estat del volum ha dificultat la constatació d'alguns aspectes relatius a la seva constitució, que apunten vers…
Semblanza iconográfica de la realeza sapiencial de Alfonso X: las miniaturas liminares de los códices regios
2016
La producción libraria de Alfonso X testimonia la simbiosis perfecta entre las funciones de gobierno y la labor intelectual y sistematiza su ideario político y cultural, no solo en texto, sino también en imagen. A partir de las miniaturas liminares de los códices regios, se evidencia que el motivo icónico privilegiado en la representación personal de Alfonso X es el rey con el libro: se analizan las distintas variantes de este modelo iconográfico que estampa la amplia gama de atribuciones que conforman el concepto de autoría alfonsí y consolida el modelo de la realeza sapiencial castellana.
El «llibre cortés de lectura» en català: a propòsit del manuscrit F-129 del Col·legi de la Sapiència de Palma
2006
The manuscript F-129 of the Col·legi de la Sapiència de Palma contains three works of Ramon Llull. It is made up of two separate manuscripts belonging to the first generation of Lullian codices (that is, not later than the first quarter of the fourteenth century). This collection is preceded by a remarkable full-page illustration, an analysis of which shows that it was probably based on a similar miniature from a French codex emanating from Llull’s immediate circle. The codicological model applicable to this manuscrit is that of «libro cortese di lettura».
