The 700-year-old manuscript is the first in a new <\/strong>人妻少妇专区 library<\/strong> collection that honors historian Richard Kaeuper.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last June, two 人妻少妇专区<\/a> colleagues\u2014a historian and a librarian\u2014were thinking out loud: how best to commemorate a preeminent medievalist and immensely popular history professor who was about to retire after more than half a century of service to the University?<\/p>\n

Richard Kaeuper<\/a>, now the Franklin W. and Gladys I. Clark Professor Emeritus of History, taught and researched at Rochester for 52 years.<\/p>\n

Laura Smoller,<\/a> a professor of history and then chair of the Department<\/a> of History, and Anna Siebach-Larsen<\/a>, the director of the Rossell Hope Robbins Library<\/a> and Koller-Collins Center for English Studies<\/a>, were hunting for something special. Something that would at once be a lasting extension of Kaeuper\u2019s work; enhance the University River 人妻少妇专区 libraries\u2019 existing collections across medieval history, literature, art, and culture; and serve as a valuable research and teaching object for scholars and students alike.<\/p>\n

The two were thinking modestly\u2014maybe a small medieval charter. They enlisted Miranda Mims<\/a>, the Joseph N. Lambert and Harold B. Schleifer Director of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation<\/a> (RBSCP), who immediately offered her enthusiastic support. Mims agreed that any Kaeuper manuscripts would be housed in safe, climate-controlled conditions at RBSCP.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, staff at the University\u2019s advancement office and the library started reaching out to Kaeuper\u2019s former students. \u201cHonestly, I thought we might raise about $1,500 or so,\u201d says Smoller. \u201cBut then these really huge gifts started coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to the generosity of lead donor Paul Kreuzer \u201972\u2014and bolstered by David Burkhardt \u201988, whose gift kept the momentum going\u2014the fund grew rapidly.<\/p>\n

Bowled over, the duo began to dream big.<\/p>\n

Suddenly an entire medieval book, known as a codex, was a real possibility. More specifically, a medieval legal treatise\u2014because Kaeuper is a preeminent expert not just on chivalry, but also on medieval European law, public order, administration, and finance.<\/p>\n

Siebach-Larsen began to scour auction catalogues and talked to dealers to find a suitable candidate. She zeroed in on a particular manuscript, a guide for lawyers on how to argue cases and respond to various legal situations.<\/p>\n

Eureka!<\/p>\n

\"Page
BOOK SMARTS:<\/strong> A medieval handbook for French lawyers, the manuscript contains definitions of judicial terms and concepts, various types of legal pleas and defenses, and guidance on how to respond to them. (人妻少妇专区 photo \/ J. Adam Fenster)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cEssentially, it\u2019s a lawyer\u2019s handbook,\u201d says Siebach-Larsen. \u201cWe purchased it in honor of Dick because he\u2019s a monumental historian of legal history, particularly for France and for England in the high and late Middle Ages. It really speaks perfectly to both his teaching and to his own research.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smoller adds, \u201cIt just seemed such a perfect fit for Dick\u2019s expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Kaeuperites\u2019 unite<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many of the donations were accompanied by kind notes from alumni to their former professor, recalling fondly Kaeuper\u2019s teaching and how it affected their personal and professional lives long after their time on campus.<\/p>\n

One of them, Jeffrey Lehn \u201905, has been a NYPD officer for the last 17 years. He writes that Kaeuper\u2019s seminar course on chivalry, \u201cwhere I had to read and process an incredible amount of source material as well as contemporary analysis,\u201d and Kaeuper\u2019s course on research, which for him meant combing through the written English record for Stephan Fulborne, set him on track to become a detective.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuck and hard work aside, I feel that I was better prepared for casework than many of my peers,\u201d writes Lehn.\u00a0\u201cA history paper is remarkably similar to a detective\u2019s case.\u00a0Both utilize times, places, quotations, and outcomes in order to prove a thesis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaeuper\u2019s very last doctoral student says he was fortunate to snag the popular scholar as his Doktorvater <\/em>before his retirement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who has worked with Dick knows him to be a patient and caring mentor as well as a rigorous and passionate scholar,\u201d says Tucker Million \u201921 (PhD). \u201cAbove all, Dick knew that the proper study of history takes time. He gave a lot of his own time to helping his students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Million is pleased that a collection of medieval manuscripts bearing Kaeuper\u2019s name will \u201ccontinue to challenge, enlighten, and inspire the Rochester community for many years to come. I can think of no one more deserving of such a legacy than Dick.\u201d<\/p>\n

To this day, Kaeuper\u2019s graduate students unabashedly identify themselves as \u201cKaeuperites,\u201d adds Smoller. Like any good graduate mentor, she says, Kaeuper succeeds because he is \u201ca superlative scholar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, his work has earned him numerous honors, including being inducted as a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and of the Medieval Academy of America. He is a winner of the Verbruggen Prize awarded by the De Re Militari Society and has landed research grants from the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, the American Philosophical Society, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation.<\/p>\n

Kaeuper\u2019s instruction at the University has left an indelible mark both at the undergraduate and graduate levels and has been recognized with the Goergen Award (2013), the Student Association Award for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences (1999), the Edward Peck Curtis Teaching Award (1990), and the Student Association Teacher of the Year Award (1986).<\/p>\n

The gifts will be used for acquiring more items and maintaining the collection of medieval manuscripts that will ultimately support medieval studies research and teaching at the University. The newly minted Richard W. Kaeuper Collection of Medieval Manuscripts also includes a medieval manuscript donated by Kaeuper himself: a 1297 Parisian letter from the important Augustinian theologian and ecclesiastic Giles of Rome regarding a property matter.<\/p>\n

Bonjour, j\u2019arrive: the manuscript makes it to Rochester<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Delayed by pandemic restrictions, the manuscript finally made its way from France to Rochester this summer. It\u2019s the first item in the new Kaeuper Collection that will be housed in RBSCP, where many of the 人妻少妇专区\u2019s rare and unique\u00a0historical materials are held.<\/p>\n

Authored in Paris by Pierre and Guillaume de Maucreux around 1330 to 1340 CE, the manuscript\u2014Ordonnances de plaidoyer de bouche et par escript\u00a0<\/em>(Ordonnances governing legal pleas made orally and in writing)\u2014consists of 36 parchment folios, written in chancery hand. Pierre de Maucreux was a famous French lawyer whom the French king Charles IV ennobled in 1326, and Guillaume was his brother.<\/p>\n

\"Close-up
THE FINE PRINT:<\/strong> Other pages in the manuscript have decorated letters, but none with the same level of intricacy as the highly stylized P of the first word\u2014\u201cpour\u201d (for)\u2014on the first folio. (人妻少妇专区 photo \/ J. Adam Fenster)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThe extravagant penwork decoration is unusual for this type of manuscript,\u201d says Siebach-Larsen of the nearly 700-year-old manuscript that comes in its original binding of limp parchment folios, replete with stains from centuries of hands touching the pages. And there are the occasional wormholes, all par for the course. While other pages have some decorated letters, none rise to the intricacy and elegance of the highly stylized P, the first letter on the first folio, which marks the start to the very first word\u2014\u201cpour\u201d (for).<\/p>\n

Studying an old manuscript\u2014its materials, ink, handwriting, stitching, and text marks, as well as tracing its physical whereabouts throughout history\u2014is often true detective work.<\/p>\n

In this case, the inscription on the back is in Dutch (\u201cExstrait van eene Deels vanden Rechten ghetrocken vute loix ende ghetranslateirt vanden latine In fracoit\u201d) and informs the reader that the manuscript is a translation from Latin to French. It also reveals that at some point in the 15th century the manuscript had been in the Low Countries (now the regions of the Netherlands, Flanders, and Belgium) or had been owned by a Dutch speaker.<\/p>\n

What makes this manuscript special?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s one of only two existing copies of an influential legal treatise for the Parlement de Paris<\/em>. In fact, until this manuscript recently surfaced, scholars believed that there was only one copy.<\/p>\n

While the Rochester manuscript was copied soon after the composition of the treatise, the other manuscript, held at the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France, was copied more than 100 years later in about 1473. The later manuscript at the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale has several mistakes indicating that the scribe was not familiar with French legal language, says Siebach-Larsen. The Rochester copy, which\u00a0may\u00a0<\/em>have been copied from the original manuscript, differs from the later manuscript in its writing conventions and content and is much closer to the original.<\/p>\n

A medieval handbook for French lawyers, the manuscript is basically a proto how-to guide. To historians, it represents a vital early source for the history of the Parlement de Paris<\/em>, which functioned as France\u2019s supreme court from the 13th century until 1789. The manuscript contains definitions of juridical terms and concepts, various types of legal pleas, explanations of legal defenses, and how to respond to them\u2014a kind of early textbook that would have been used by young lawyers and legal practitioners across French provinces and various types of French courts.<\/p>\n

Yet, as is often the case with old manuscripts, a few parts are missing in action. According to the table of contents, the text should have ended with a discussion of legal procedures, but the Rochester manuscript is missing that section.<\/p>\n

\"Richard
TOUCHED BY AN ACADEMIC:<\/strong> Dick Kaeuper strokes the pages of the 14th-century manuscript acquired in his honor. Touching rare objects with bare hands is de rigueur in manuscript libraries the world over. Why no longer the classic white cotton gloves? Turns out gloves not only transfer dirt to the object, but also dislodge pigments or inks from the surface of pages, and can catch on the parchment, resulting in nicks and tears. Today, scholars wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them before touching the brittle pages. (人妻少妇专区 photo \/ J. Adam Fenster)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018The skin I love to touch\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The manuscript\u2019s quirks didn\u2019t dampen Kaeuper\u2019s enthusiasm one bit at the official unveiling this summer when he finally got to meet the manuscript in the flesh.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful and imaginative idea,\u201d says Kaeuper who was floored by the long list of donors, some of them students he taught nearly half a century ago. \u201cI was utterly taken by surprise, really gob smacked.\u201d Touched by his colleagues\u2019 thoughtfulness, and his former students\u2019 \u201cgenerous contributions and lovely notes,\u201d Kaeuper says he feels the manuscript really represents a \u201ccontinuation of something we did together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m reminded of the old ad for some kind of soap, with the tag line, \u2018This is the skin I love to touch,\u2019 says a beaming Kaeuper while stroking a leaf of the manuscript. \u201cThis\u00a0is the skin I love to touch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Siebach-Larsen meanwhile loves that the manuscript is in French instead of Latin, because French represents a lower language barrier to most students, she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for both graduate and undergraduate students to grapple with a valuable manuscript, to hopefully do projects on it,\u201d says Siebach-Larsen, emphasizing that the library is dedicated to making its manuscripts available as hands-on experiences to anyone who wants to use them.<\/p>\n

Touching a centuries-old piece of parchment or vellum prompts in her a \u201ctrue visceral reaction,\u201d says Smoller. \u201cThat\u2019s when I feel the people I write about are real, something that you wouldn\u2019t get by just reading their writing. It\u2019s a genuine connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s something the historian hopes students will be able to experience, too.<\/p>\n
