Moses Leaves Tabris, the King's Daughter, with a Magic Ring; Moses Killing an Egyptian

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Los Angeles, The J. Paul Getty Library, Ms. 33 (88.MP.70), fol. 67v.

"Moses Leaves Tabris, the King's Daughter, with a Magic Ring"; "Moses Killing an Egyptian", ca. 1400–1410. Illustrations and text from an early 15th-century manuscript of the "World Chronicle" (Weltchronik) by Rudolf von Ems. Written in rhyming couplets in Middle High German. All the illustrated folios in Getty Ms. 33 are listed an article in The J. Paul Getty Museum Journal from 1989.[1]

All the surviving manuscript copies (MSS) of the Weltchronik have a number of variant differences. In the particular source MS of the Rudolf von Ems World Chronicle which the copyist of the Getty Ms. 33 used, there were one or two quires completely missing which contained the stories of Moses and Joshua. The copyist substituted suitable sections from the Christherre-Chronik (a different work in the "History of the World" genre) which partly deals with the same subject matter.[2]

A transcription of a section of the Christherre-Chronik, including the lines in Getty Ms. 33, fol. 67v, has been published.[3] Since the MS source[4] of this published edition was a different copy from that used by the copyist of Getty Ms. 33, the spelling and the occasional word differ from Getty Ms. 33, as transcribed below.

Please note that the text relating to the l.h. illustration, which depicts an incident in the sad story of Moses (said to be a an astronomer skilled in the stars) and his Ethiopian wife Tarbis, daughter of the King of Sheba, does not appear on this particular MS fol. 67v but on the previous folio (transcribed in Gärtner et. al (1998), p. 173 as cited below). Thus all except the first two lines of fol. 67va and the whole of fol. 67vb transcribed below relate to the story of Moses killing the Egyptian overseer as related in the Christherre-Chronik. Abbreviations are expanded in square brackets.
