- Description
-
- This manuscript contains the only surviving copy of the Apologia de Barbis (The Defence of Beards) that Burchard (d. 1163), Cistercian Abbot of Bellevaux wrote for the lay brothers of the Abbey of Rosières, a daughter house of Bellevaux. The Apologia is made up of three sermones (speeches) discussing the cleanliness, composition, and nature of beards. It is the only known work on beards to survive from the Middle Ages. Contents: ff. 1r-94v: Burchard, Apologia de Barbis , beginning: ‘Apologia B abbatis Bellevallis ad fratres de Roseriis ad conservationem barbarum et salutem’. [f. 95v is blank].Decoration: 3 large initials with anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, and foliage decoration in red, yellow, and green, at the beginning of the three sermones (ff. 1r, 14r, 33v). Medium-sized initials with pen-flourishing alternating between red and green, sometimes with yellow. Occasional highlighting in red. Capitals in red. Drawings of nine bearded faces added in a later medieval hand (f. 95r).
