Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary This manuscript contains an
annal that records the celebrations for the anniversaries of the clergy of the
Cathedral of Lausanne – cf. the unnumbered title page:
Iste liber est capellanorum celebrancium in ecclesia katedrali
Lausannensi de anniversariis que fiunt per dictos celebrantes. The original part might be from the 1420s, to
which numerous later hands added on, in order to complete the anniversary
masses that were celebrated. The internal organization follows the calendar
month by month. The annal thus begins on January 1st (on page 1) and ends on
December 24th (on page 167). Each page consists of two columns, each
representing a different day, the title of which (letter – sometimes followed
by the name of the liturgical
feast) is rubricated.
At the top of each column, the days are also given as days of the month (in
Roman numerals) in a Gothic cursive script that seems to have been a later
addition. The older necrologies of the cathedral chapter of Lausanne are known
only through excerpts (included in the Lausanne cartulary at the behest of Conon d’Estavayer in 1224 and 1238) or mentions (in 1354 the chapter
delegates were mandated to write an “anniversary book” – which, however, disappeared).
This necrology was kept in Fribourg, probably arriving there after the conquest
of Vaud by Bern in the course of the Reformation; it is therefore the oldest
necrology surviving from the medieval period and makes it possible to fill in certain
documentary gaps. |
