Explications des Ceremonies de l'Eglise avec les Prieres

0.03 Cubic Feet One letter-size file folder

This collection contains a contemporary red morocco-bound calligraphic manuscript prayer book in three parts. The cover has elaborate gilt borders, and the spine has gilt compartments and lettering, with marbled endpapers. The first and largest section, Explications des Cérémonies de l'Église avec les Prières, contains prayers keyed to specific moments of the Mass, accompanied by twelve colored vignette illustrations. The two shorter appended sections are "Les Sept Psaulmes de la Pentience" (Seven Penitential Psalms), and "Les Litanies des S.ts" (Litanies of the Saints), both of which have titles written in gold ink on a blue wash background, similarly within the blue and red borders of the first part, but with initial letters gilt on a blue wash. The half-title includes a note by one of the manuscript's owners, A. [Arthur] Dinaux (1795–1864), on the book's provenance. The note explains the contents of the book and notes a former owner had written on a flyleaf that it "qu'il provenait de l'oncle germain de M .Aubrey le 14 février 1765(?). C'est la seule date qu'on découvre dans ce manuscrit." The flyleaf is no longer present with this manuscript.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
