| Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary The
first liturgical library of the nuns of Fille-Dieu, which today is dispersed
across all of Europe, has great significance for the history of the Cistercian
Order. The booklet FiD 1 (French musical notation) contains the oldest offices of St. Bernard and of the
Trinity, which were introduced into the order in 1175 or shortly thereafter.
The flyleaves are remarkable as well. Together with FiD 2, they represent
relics of antiphonaries that were copied around 1136/1140 and contain the
original Cistercian liturgy, which was copied shortly after 1108 in Metz by
monks sent by Abbot Stephen Harding. This liturgy was corrected within the
framework of the reforms of Bernard of Clairvaux. The existence of Bernardine
drafts had until now been known through antiphonary 12A-B from Westmalle Abbey
(Belgium) and through the one from Tamié Abbey 6 (Savoy). Codicological
analysis of the flyleaves of FiD 1 and of the fragments of FiD 2 reveals that
all pieces come from the Swiss Abbey of Fille-Dieu; they share identical status
and common characteristics, irrespective of current holding sites. The same
hands and correcting hands can be recognized, the same types of ornamentation
and the same later touch-ups, which were done at the earliest in the 16th
century, probably by the nuns or by the monks of Hautcrêt Abbey (Oron, VD),
which was the mother house of Fille-Dieu until 1536. |
