Hardcover with dusjacket, 480 pages., 196 b/w ill. + 39 colour ill., 216 x 280 mm, Languages: French. ISBN 9782503574684. Orne de 85 enluminures encore en place, l?ouvrage est un temoignage exceptionnel, bien documente, qui permet de comprendre les modalites de la commande des manuscrits liturgiques enlumines au XIVe siecle, et qu?il est possible de replacer dans un contexte politique, religieux et artistique bien determine. En 1350, Pierre de la Jugie, neveu du pape Clement VI, est depuis trois ans sur le siege de Narbonne, a la tete d?un des archeveches les plus riches du royaume de France, lorsqu?il decide de faire realiser un pontifical a la hauteur de ses ambitions. Orne de 85 enluminures encore en place, l?ouvrage est un temoignage exceptionnel, bien documente, qui permet de comprendre les modalites de la commande des manuscrits liturgiques enlumines au XIVe siecle, et qu?il est possible de replacer dans un contexte politique, religieux et artistique bien determine. Le livre n?est qu?en partie fidele au modele de pontifical etabli par Guillaume Durand. Outre un calendrier et des feuillets de comput, il contient aussi plusieurs textes additionnels, expressement ajoutes par Pierre de la Jugie, et accompagne d?une iconographie qui leur est propre. L?etude des textes, du calendrier au pontifical, et de l?iconographie choisie pour les illustrer, permet de mettre en valeur la forte implication du commanditaire dans la mise en place de ce livre. Les peintures qui ornent ces pages sont l??uvre de quatre artistes qui, en depit de leurs formations differentes (Catalogne, Sud de la France, Italie) ont collabore et se sont mutuellement influences. Le recensement des productions de chacun des enlumineurs permet de mettre en valeur l?existence de reseaux d?echanges entre les artistes et les commanditaires ecclesiastiques appartenant a un meme clan de prelats limousins. 0 g.
