Hand(s)
The text of Troilus and Criseyde was copied by two scribes writing in a textura quadrata script (Hand 1: ff. 2r-16v and ff. 33r-150r; Hand 2: ff. 17r-32v).
The medical recipe on f. 151r was copied by a 15th- or 16th-century hand working in a script with both secretary and anglicana features.
Decoration
Folio 1v features a full-page miniature which shows a man in a wooden pulpit wearing a scarlet cloth addressing a group of seated and standing men and women. This group includes a prince in a gold robe and a lady in diadem against a background of hills and trees. In the right corner of the background there is a pink-coloured turreted castle with a group of people in front of it: this group shows a crowned queen in blue over white and a (?) wreathed king in red in front of it. Before them a prince kneels presenting a gold cap or crown. In the left background and further away, there is dark castle on a rock from which a grop of brightly clad figures descends. The miniature is painted on a gold ground and surmoun5ed by a full border of acanthus leaves in scarlet, blue and pink on a gold ground with extending tendrils, gold besants and coloured leaves.
Many interpretations of this frontispiece exist but scholars generally agree that the man in the pulpit is Geoffrey Chaucer and that the man in gold brocade who immediately stands before him is Richard II (1367-1400) [although others have suggested that he is a later English king or Charles d'Orleans]. For further discussion of the miniature and possible identification of the members in the audience see e.g. Brusendorff (1925); Galway (1949); Williams (1962); Kendrick (1987); Lerer (1993); Scott (1996); Helmbold (2008); Coleman (2010); Helmbold (2010); Carruthers (2014); Howes (2021).
The miniature and borders are thought to have been executed by an English artist who was either trained in France or by a French artist in England [see Scott (2000)]. According to Scott (2000), the same artist worked on the decoration of at least three other extant manuscripts:
- Olim Warminster, Longleat House, MS 24
- London, British Library, Royal MS 8 G III
- Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Auct. F. inf. 1.1
They possibly also worked on the borders in:
- London, British Library, Cotton MS Claudius D I
- London, British Library, Cotton MS Nero C VI
- Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, MS lat. 1196
Ninety spaces for smaller (16 lines, 24/25 lines, or 30/32 lines) miniatures, planned throughout the manuscript but never made (on these planned miniatures see Fisher (1976); Hardmann (1997)).
Spaces for large (7 lines) decorated initials, planned throughout the manuscript but never made. A later (? 15th-century) hand has added three initials by outlining them in brown ink on ff. 2r ('T'), 27r ('O') and 93v ('L'), of which the first features the bust of a man in profile (? Troilus) and the second the bust of a woman (? Criseyde) in brown ink.
Small (1 line) regular initials ‘E’ in brown ink occasionally decorated with dog heads. E.g. see line 6 on f. 4r; lines 13 and 17 on f. 5r; and line 31 on f. 9r. The final rubricated explicit on f. 150r contains, alongside a dog head, a human face (on the dog heads, see Kennedy (2022), passim).
Incipits and explicits to the different books written in red ink.
Additions
A corrector has added the note ‘deficit’ to the margins of ff. 22r, 65v, 80v, and 83v, but the manuscript was apparently not returned to the scribes for making emendations.
A title inscription has been added by a 15th-century hand to f. i verso: ‘Thys ys the Booke of Troilus and Criseyde’.
A Middle English verse on the manuscript's contents (now partially erased) has been added added by a 15th-century hand to f. ii recto: ‘[...] Boke of Troylus and Cryseide / [good fortune in hevyn] to abyde’ (DIMEV 884).
An erased description of the manuscript or ownership inscription has been added by a late 15th-century hand on f. 151r: ‘This boke his [...]’.
A later 15th-century reader has added the note ‘deficiut [sic] vi balettes’ to f. 100v.
Quire signatures ('1-19') in the bottom right-hand corner of the recto side of the first leaf of each quire, written in pencil by a hand of the 20th century.
Binding
Modern red goatskin over (?) older wooden boards with six raised bands on the spine (but no title or classmark inscriptions) by the Cambridge Colleges Conservation Consortium , 1994.
Binding height: 335mm; width: 235mm; depth: 65mm.
History
The manuscript has been variously dated based on palaeographical and decorative grounds but most scholars agree that the manuscript must have been produced at some point between 1385 and 1425: c. 1385-1456 (Parkes (1978)); c. 1398 (Seymour (1992); (1995)); after 1415-before 1425 (Scott (2000)); c. 1415-c. 1425 (De Hamel (2005), who suggests a London origin); c. 1415-c.1420 (Nichols (2008)); c. 1400-1415 (Coleman (2010)); 1385-1413 (Mooney, Horobin and Stubbs (2011)); 1400-1450 (Rand (2009)).
Provenance and Acquisition
Edward Franton [? Frampton] (fl. 15th century) : owned or accessed the manuscript. His name is written in reverse (‘Notnarf drawde’) on a decorative banderol on f. i verso, on f. 147r and f. 151r.
John Shirley (1366?-1456) , author, translator, and scribe: owned or accessed the manuscript. He added a Middle English verse prayer to f. 1r.
Anne Neville (fl. 15th century) : owned or accessed the manuscript. Her name is inscribed in the outer margin of f. 101v: ‘Neuer foryeteth Anne Neuyll’. Unidentified, but scholars have proposed various identities: one is Anne Beauchamp (1426–1492), 16th Countess of Warwick, and wife of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, on the basis that the manuscript was once also accessed by the scribe John Shirley (1366-1456) [see above], whose main patron was Anne's father, Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick [for this identifciation, see Parkes (1978), p. 12; Connolly (1998), 41, 109-110; Driver (2007), pp. 181-182; on Ann Beauchamp, see Scott (1976), pp. 61-63]. Another candidate is Anne Neville (c. 1410-1480), daughter of Joan Beaufort and Ralph Neville, Duke of Westmorland, and wife to Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham [see Vines (2011), pp. 22-25]. This identification is suggested by the name inscription ‘Knyvett’ on f. 108r (see below). The latter may be William Knyvett (1440-1515), Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, whose third wife was Joanna Stafford, one of Anne Neville's daughters. If this second identification is accepted, then it is possible that the manuscript passed down to Joan Stafford and William Knyvett.
Knyvett (fl. 15th century) : a member of the Knyvett family owned or accessed the manuscript. Their family name written upside down in the outer margin of f. 108r. Unidentified, but perhaps William Knyvett (1440-1515), Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, if the identification of the ‘Anne Neuyll’ whose name is inscribed in the outer margin of f. 101v as Anne Neville-Stafford (c. 1410-1480) [see above] is accepted: her daughter, Joan Stafford, married William Knyvett in 1477. On the Knyvetts as book owners, see David McKitterick, The Library of Sir Thomas Knyvett of Ashwellthorpe (Cambridge: Cambridge University Library, 1978).
Dorothy Pennell [Pernell / Pennett / Pernett] (fl. 15th or 16th century) : owned or accessed the manuscript. Her name is written in the outer margin of f. 63r but is heavily erased and difficult to read with UV light: ‘Dorete P[ennell]’.
Henry Coldvell [? Coldwell] (fl. 15th or 16th century) : owned or accessed the manuscript. His name written at the top of f. 151r: ‘Hanrycum Coldvell’. Unidentified, but perhaps the same Henry Coldwell who inscribed his name on the title page (‘Hanricum Coldwell’) and twice more on the final page (‘Per me Hanricum Coldewell’ and ‘-cum coldewell’ [cropped]) of Raoul Lefèvre, The veray trew history of the valiaunt knight Iason how he conqueryd or wan the golden fles. by the Counsel of Medea. and of many othre victoryouse and wondrefull actis and dedys that he dyde by his prowesse and cheualrye in his tyme (Antwerp: Gerard Leeu, 1492) (now Cambridge, University Library, Inc.3.F.6.2[3396] [formerly AB.10.54(2)]).
William Carye [Carie] (d. 1572/3) , London clothworker and book collector: he probably is the ‘Mr Cari’ who, according to an ex dono inscription on f. 150v gave the manuscript to Stephen Batman (see below) on 17 December 1570. On William Carye, see A. G. Watson, 'Christopher and William Carye, Collectors of Monastic Manuscripts and "John Carye"', The Library, 20 (1965), 135-142.
Stephen Batman [Bateman] (1541-1584) , Church of England clergyman and author: his ownership inscription on f. 150v: ‘This is my booke / S. B. / geven to me by Mr Cari the xvij of december Anno / 1570 / ex dono’. Batman was a member of the household of Matthew Parker (1504-1575), archbishop of Canterbury, and claimed to have collected 6,700 books for him.
Matthew Parker (1504-1575) , archbishop of Canterbury: the manuscript is recorded as ‘Troilus of Chaucer’ among the ‘libri in minore Bibliotheca’ on f. 42v of his register of books, now Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 575 [see M.R. James (1912), I, p. xxxiv].
Bequeathed to Corpus Christi College by Matthew Parker (1504-1575) .
