Finding Aid for the Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts Collection

The Elmer Belt Library of Vinciana

Scope and Content Note

The Belt Library is a collection of manuscripts and printed books pertaining to Leonardo da Vinci and the Italian Renaissance. Assembled by Dr. Belt, the library was moved from his office to the UCLA campus in 1961, and to its present location within the Art Library in the Dickson Art Center in 1966. Portions of the collection remained with Dr. Belt, among them the fifteenth-century French lectionary described in Bond and Faye, Supplement, p.16. The library houses a collection of incunabula and a group of renaissance manuscripts. Besides the materials included below, the Belt Library possesses a seventeenth-century manuscript containing an anonymous treatise in Italian, Modo di fortificare (Belt 72). On the structure and history of the library, see F.L. Finger, Catalogue of the Incunabula in the Elmer Belt Library of Vinciana (Los Angeles, 1971), and Max Marmor, “The Elmer Belt Library of Vinciana,” The Book Collector, vol.38 (1989) pp.321-342.

Both documents are edited with facsimiles by S. Ray, “Il 'gran peso sopra le spalle': Raffaello e la Basilica Vaticana,” L'Architettura, cronache e storia vol.18, no.199 (May 1972) pp.58-60. Among the various anomalies displayed by these two documents, it is not clear that the two signatures (ff. 1, 2) purporting to be those of Iuliano Leno are written by the same hand; it is noteworthy also that Domenico di Francesco Bonello has become “Francesco di Domenico Bonello” in the supposed Raphael text. Concerning the authenticity, see most recently C. L. Frommel, “Die Peterskirche unter Papst Julius II. in Licht neuer Dokumente,” Römisches Jahrbuch für Kunstgeschichte vol.16 (1976) pp.57-136 at 80 no.81. 1

THE CHARLES E. YOUNG RESEARCH LIBRARY: DEPARTMENT OF SPECIAL COLLECTIONS.

Scope and Content Note

The library's collection of western European medieval and renaissance manuscripts, only a small portion of the manuscript materials housed in the Department of Special Collections, is steadily growing. The increase is obvious from a comparison of 1) the list of manuscripts possessed by the department in the 1950s, as recorded by Bond and Faye, Supplement, pp.538-539; 2) the number of manuscripts cataloged here; and 3) the list, below, of further acquisitions in the years since this catalog was made, 1978-1990. For the most part, the present catalog describes every manuscript written before 1600. Given their diplomatic nature, this was impossible to do for both the large Orsini Archive (Collection 902, Boxes 1-532) and the smaller Italian Diplomatic Collection (Collection 100, Boxes 113-114), which are reported summarily below; typewritten inventories are available in the Department of Special Collections. Among the literary (nondocumentary) materials, this catalog at times includes manuscripts written after 1600, when the texts present some peculiar interest (see 170/282, *170/380) or, in one case, when it seemed worthwhile rectifying data given in the De Ricci Census (see 170/87).

Three items described below came from the Isaac Foot collection, After Isaac Foot's death in 1960, the private library of his country house at Pencrebar, Callington, Cornwall, comprising ca. 70,000 volumes, was purchased by the University of California, primarily for the benefit of the university's smaller new campuses. Besides a number of printed books, UCLA received from the collection four manuscripts that antedate 1600: two letters of Philipp Melanchthon (Collection 100, Box 30), a Greek Bible (170/347, not cataloged below), and a Latin Bible (170/348). Concerning the collection see T.G. Griedler, The Isaac Foot Library: A Report to the University (Santa Barbara, California, 1964), where the Melanchthon letters are mentioned; and a shorter version of the same in The University Bulletin (28 October 1963) pp.80-84.

A number of the department's seventeenth to nineteenth-century manuscripts come from the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872). Here is a concordance of the Phillipps numbers ( Catalogus librorum manuscriptorum in Bibliotheca D. Thomae Phillipps, Bart., A.D. 1837, and anon. [T. FitzRoy Fenwick], Bibliotheca Phillippica: A Catalogue of the Phillipps Manuscripts . . . [Cheltenham, 1886]) with the present call numbers in the Department of Special Collections: Phillipps 2445 (170/369); 2456 (170/370); 2499 (170/371); 2500 (170/372); 2978 (170/366); 8508 (Collection 100, Box 82); 8979 (*170/361); 9447 (*170/166); 9503 (170/245); 10610 (170/367); 12376 (*170/362); 13144(170/368); 13819 (*170/363); 16172 (*170/461, kept with Phillipps 17405); 16177 (170/364); 17405 (*170/461, kept with Phillipps 16172); 18545 (170/374); 20133 (*170/365); 21332 (170/513); 21547 (*170/393).

CHARLES E. YOUNG RESEARCH LIBRARY: DEPARTMENT OF SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, COLLECTION OF LOOSE LEAVES: ***170/403 (10 oversized ringed binders).

Scope and Content Note

The department's collection of medieval manuscript leaves comprises 134 items, including bifolia, leaves, and fragments of leaves. One item is in Arabic script, 2 in Greek script, 2 in Hebrew script, and 129 in Latin script. This catalog describes only those items in Latin script. Unless otherwise noted, the leaves described here belong to a collection that was assembled by Bernard M. Rosenthal, New York, from whom it was purchased by UCLA in 1962. Concerning the collection see P. Levine, “Palaeographic History Illustrated in Manuscript Collection,” UCLA Librarian vol.16, no.6, supplement (1963) pp.49-51.

The leaves are cataloged here in shelf-number order, save that the initial number 1 or 2 (a designation of size) is ignored. Thus, e.g., after the leaf numbered 2/XIII/Ita/7 is described the leaf numbered 1/XIII/Ita/8.
