Description
Book of Hours, Office for the Dead, at Matins, first nocturne (Officium Pro Defunctis ad Matutinum). Northern France or the Netherlands, late 15th Century. Medieval manuscript leaf, parchment, containing text and decoration, including illuminated, foliated panels and illuminated initials. Gold illumination on decorative elements; decorative elements include acanthus leaf (recto/verso), flowers (recto/verso), and fruit (recto). The script is a Gothic textura with slightly diamond minims, 20 lines to the page with ink ruling, single column. The recto contains seven notable illuminated initials and the verso contains three; each page features a 2-line initial.
Text includes parts of Psalm 6, all of Psalm 12, “Requiem” rubrics and Antiphons, and parts of Job 7. All scripture is from St. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate Bible translation. The scriptural contents for these pages differs from usual French usage, but the sequencing of Psalms and Job lead to the conclusion that this is likely a text for Matins, First Nocturne, rather than Second or Third Nocturne.
Mounting tape on the verso is characteristic of items once contained in manuscript leaf portfolios assembled by Otto Ege before his death in 1951.

Transcription Psalm 6:10-11, Clementine Vulgate with modern chapter/verse numbers
10 Exaudivit Dominus deprecationem meam ;
Dominus orationem meam suscepit.
11 Erubescant, et conturbentur vehementer, omnes inimici mei ;
convertantur, et erubescant valde velociter.
Transcription Psalm 12, Clementine Vulgate with modern chapter/verse numbers
[1] Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem?
usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
[2] quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea;
dolorem in corde meo per diem?
[3] usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
[4] Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus.
Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;
[5] nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum.
Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;
[6] ego autem in misericordia tua speravi.
Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo.
Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi;
et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
Translation Psalm 13[12] RSV-CE
[1] How long, O LORD? Will you forget me for ever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
[2] How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
[3] Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death
[4] lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him”; lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
[5] But I have trusted in your merciful love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
[6] I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. [I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.]

bona tribuit mihi et psallam

Transcription Job 7:1-4, Clementine Vulgate with modern chapter/verse numbers
[1] Militia est vita hominis super terram,
et sicut dies mercenarii dies ejus.
[2] Sicut servus desiderat umbram,
et sicut mercenarius præstolatur finem operis sui,
[3] sic et ego habui menses vacuos,
et noctes laboriosas enumeravi mihi.
[4] Si dormiero, dicam: Quando consurgam?
et rursum expectabo vesperam,
et replebor doloribus usque ad tenebras.
Translation Job 7:1-4, RSV-CE
[1] “Has not man a hard service upon earth,
and are not his days like the days of a hireling?
[2] Like a slave who longs for the shadow,
and like a hireling who looks for his wages,
[3] so I am allotted months of emptiness,
and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
[4] When I lie down I say, ‘When shall I arise?’
But the night is long,
and I am full of tossing till the dawn.”
