[Order of the Golden Fleece]. (Armorial of the Order of the Golden Fleece).

Illuminated manuscript, French, ±1560-1580, (67) lvs., pen and black ink on paper, lettre bâtarde, rubricated, 6 FULL-PAGE GOUACHES OF HALF-LENGTH PORTRAITS, ALL HEIGHTENED WITH GOLD AND ALL WITH THE MOTTO OF THE PORTRAYED BELOW, 6 FULL-PAGE GOUACHES OF THEIR COAT OF ARMS, ALL HEIGHTENED WITH GOLD, 237 SMALL GOUACHES OF COATS OF ARMS, ALL HEIGHTENED WITH GOLD AND SURROUNDED BY THE COLLAR OF THE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE, 17th cent. calf w. gilt spine and red mor. letterpiece giltlettered "Le Toison d'Or", sm. 4to. CONTENTS: Twenty-three recorded gatherings of the Order of the Golden Fleece, each with a description of the discussed topics and a record of the newly elected knights. This manuscript contains the chapters up to and including the 23rd chapter, the final chapter in which the election of the knights was a democratic process (Philip II ended this process in 1577 after Antoon de Lalaing was admitted to the order against his will). DECORATION: 1. Portrait of Philip the Good Duke of Burgundy, the founder, and motto "Aultre navray"; w. full-p. coat of arms; 2. Portrait of Charles the Bold, with the motto "Je lay emprins"; w. full-p. coat of arms; 3. Portrait of Maximilian with the motto "Halt maas"; w. full-p. coat of arms; 4. Portrait of Philip the Fair, King of Castile (by right of his wife) with the motto "Qui voudra"; w. full-p. coat of arms; 5. Portrait of Charles V, Philip's son, elected Holy Roman Emperor in 1519, with the motto "Plus oultre"; w. full-p. coat of arms; 6. Portrait of Philip II, King of Spain, with the motto "Nec spec nec metu"; w. full-p. coat of arms. The manuscript is divided per chapter and each chapter is decorated with the coat of arms of the newly elected knights up until the 23rd chapter in Ghent in 1559. The full-p. coats of arms are followed by smaller coats of arms of the knights that belonged to the order, with their names and titles below. The final coat of arms is not identified in the manuscript, but could be identified as Joachim von Neuhaus by comparison with the manuscript held in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek Brussel (digital copy can be referenced with https://uurl.kbr.be/1738456). Our copy is more or less identical in make-up to the Brussels copy, except that the portraits are different (half-length instead of full-length) and that it is entirely in manuscript and entirely on paper. There are also some variants in the small coats of arms shown. Script and decoration indicate that the manuscript was made in the southern Netherlands, perhaps for one of the new knights elected at the Chapter of 1559 in Ghent, the last chapter recorded. Provenance: by descent in the noble family Groeninx van Zoelen. SEE ILLUSTRATION ON FRONTCOVER.
