Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This parchment manuscript contains several texts relating to the statutes of the Basel Cathedral Chapter, located since 1679 in Arlesheim. The main title, written with a very elegant calligraphy – Statuta cathedralis ecclesiae Basileensis non tam renovata quam in meliorem ordinem redacta Anno Domini 1681 – fills a full page and specifies that the statutes were composed in 1681 (f. 1r). The incipits of the four gospels that follow are stamped with a miniature representing the face of Christ in a medallion with a blue background (f. 1v-s1r). The statutes are written in Latin, and more rarely in German (which involves a change in the style of script). After this text appears a letter of Bishop Jean Conrad de Roggenbach, dated to 1683 (f. 37r-37v), followed by a copy of Innocent XII’s confirmation of the statutes, dated 1693 (ff. 38r-44v). This volume was purchased in 1857 at a sale of Felicis Schneider, printer in Basel, for the library Petro-Mariana (f. V2r). It then belonged to the bishop of Basel, Eugène Lachat, as Louis Vautrey explains in his monumental Histoire des évêques de Bâle (vol. II, 1886, p. 267, n°3). (rou)
