BONAVENTURA, saint
Meditationes vitae Christi.
Venice, Manfredus de Bonellis, de Monteferrato, 1497.
Reference : 18493
Jolie édition incunable illustrée d'une gravure sur bois sur le titre et d'un autre bois gravé à pleine page au verso. C'est une réimpression page à page de l'édition de Pavie de 1490, qui n'était pas illustrée. Ces "Méditations sur la vie du Christ" sont probablement l'oeuvre d'un franciscain vers 1300 et non de saint Bonaventure lui-même. L'oeuvre a connu un franc succès et exerça une influence durable sur la vie religieuse, la littérature, la peinture et a servi de modèle à de nombreux écrivains religieux. Ce texte a mis un accent nouveau sur l'humanité du Christ, la valeur de la méditation et l'intériorisation de la relation avec Dieu, tout ce que l'on a nommé la 'Devotio moderna'. Exemplaire rubriqué en rouge. Cet incunable a été relié anciennement dans une feuille d'antiphonaire en parchemin du XVe ou XVIe siècle. Bel exemplaire. ISTC ib00899000. Goff B899. Essling 414. BMC V, 505. GW 4758. /// In-8 de (3), 61, (1) ff., [A-G8, H10] Vélin de réemploi du XVIe siècle. (Reliure ancienne.) //// A beautiful incunabulum edition illustrated with a woodcut on the title page and another full-page woodcut on verso. It is a line-by-line reproduction of the 1490 Pavia edition, which was not illustrated. These Meditations on the Life of Christ were probably written by a Franciscan around 1300 rather than by St Bonaventure himself. The work was a great success and had a lasting influence on religious life, literature, and painting, serving as a model for many religious writers. The text placed a new emphasis on the humanity of Christ, the value of meditation, and the internalization of the relationship with God. This came to be known as the 'Devotio Moderna'. Copy rubricated in red. This incunabulum was anciently bound in a 15th- or 16th-century parchment antiphonary leaf. A fine copy. ISTC ib00899000. Goff B899. Essling 414. BMC V, 505.

Meditationes Vitae Christi Reconsidered. New Perspectives on Text and Image
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 252 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:150 col., Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503595054.
Summary Drawing on diverse literary traditions, the author of the fourteenth-century Meditationes Vitae Christi transformed the Gospel accounts into an emotionally charged and vivid narrative that became one of the most popular texts of the late Middle Ages. Over the past few years, new theories about the authorship, date, and original language of the text have emerged, raising new questions about this text and its impact on late medieval art and spirituality. The essays in this interdisciplinary volume examine multiple aspects of the Meditationes history, from its possible authorship to its manuscript traditions to its reflections in art.

This volume examines the late medieval devotional text Meditationes Vitae Christi through an analysis of its most important manuscript, known by its present location and catalogue number as Paris Bibliotheque Nationale Ms. ital. 115. As Flora argues, Ms. ital. 115, the oldest and most extensively illustrated copy of the Meditationes, was originally made in or near Pisa circa 1350 and tailored very specifically for a group of Franciscan nuns. Flora proposes the manuscript's probable uses in practices of performative devotion and affective response, and the relationship between its imagery and other works of art made for religious women, shedding new light on the history of female monasticism in medieval Italy.
