Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The upper half of the illustrated side contains a naked Job and his three friends, the lower half shows the author, Gregory the Great, inspired by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, and a Benedictine monk, portrayed in the usual manner of Petrus Diaconus, the latter probably drawn by a different artist. On the back is a Leonine couplet, which attributes the leaf unambiguously to Engelberg. The leaf is, according to P. Karl Stadler’s 1787 description, the original opening of the first volume of the Moralia Iob by Gregory the Great (Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 20, here immediately before f. 1). In the mid-19th century it was owned by Jacob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903) and was faithfully reproduced in his book Trachten des Mittelalters (1840-54, Vol. 1, Plate 57, p. 76f). In November 1953 the leaf was purchased from the J.H. Wade Fund for the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Deutsch: Die Bildseite enthält auf der oberen Hälfte den nackten Hiob und seine drei Freunde, auf der unteren Hälfte den Verfasser Gregor den Grossen von der Taube des hl. Geistes inspiriert und einen Benediktiner, der wie üblich Petrus Diaconus darstellt, letzterer möglicherweise von einem anderen Künstler gezeichnet. Auf der Rückseite steht ein zweizeiliger Leoniner auf Frowin, der das Blatt eindeutig Engelberg zuweist. Das Blatt eröffnete gemäss P. Karl Stadler noch 1787 den ersten Band der Moralia in Iob von Gregor dem Grossen (Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 20, hier unmittelbar vor f. 1). Mitte des 19. Jh. befand es sich im Besitz von Jacob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811–1903) und wird in dessen Buch « Trachten des Mittelalters » (1840-54, hier Bd. 1, Tafel 57 und S. 76f.) sehr präzis nachgezeichnet. Im November 1953 wurde das Blatt vom J.H. Wade Fund für das Cleveland Museum of Art gekauft.
Français : La page imagée contient dans la moitié supérieure Job nu et ses trois amis, sur la moitié inférieure l’auteur Grégoire le Grand inspiré par la colombe de l’Esprit Saint et un bénédictin, représentant habituellement Pierre Diacre, probablement dessiné par un autre artiste. Sur la page postérieure se trouve un poème léonin de deux vers sur Frowin qui attribue sans équivoque la feuille à Engelberg. Selon P. Karl Stadler, le feuillet appartenait encore en 1787 au premier volume des Moralia in Iob de Grégoire le Grand (Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 20, ici immédiatement avant f. 1). Au milieu du XIXe s. il se trouvait en possession de Jacob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811–1903) et est copié très précisément dans son livre Trachten des Mittelalters (1840-54, ici Bd. 1, Tableau 57 et p. 76f.). En novembre 1953, le feuillet fut acheté par vom J.H. Wade Fund pour le Cleveland Museum of Art.
Italiano: La facciata con la miniatura presenta nella metà superiore Giobbe nudo ed i suoi tre amici, nella parte inferiore l’autore Gregorio Magno con la colomba ispiratrice dello Spirito Santo ed un benedettino, raffigurato solitamente come Pietro Diacono, quest’ultimo forse disegnato da un altro artista. Sulla facciata posteriore si legge un verso leonino in due righe con una dedica per Frowin che permette chiaramente di attribuire il foglio a Engelberg. Secondo P. Karl Stadler, ancora nel 1787 questo foglio apriva il primo volume dei Moralia in Iob di Gregorio Magno (Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 20, qui immediatamente prima del f. 1). A metà del sec. XIX si trovava in possesso di Jacob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811–1903) e venne da lui accuratamente copiato nel suo libro Trachten des Mittelalters. Nel novembre 1953 il foglio venne acquistato dal J.H. Wade Fund per il Cleveland Museum of Art.
