Description |
MS.804. Saint Margaret, Virgin and Martyr ( -c. 285). RECTO. Vie de Sainte Marguerite: in verse [Beginning wanting].Written in a neat gothic script, on one side only. There are 25 small illuminated ornamental initials in gold and colours. This MS. is written in scroll form so as to be used as a 'Birthgirdle' (cf. MS. No. 632 in Vol. I of this Catalogue]. Saint Margaret is said to have been martyred at Antioch in the last quarter of the third century, and later her cult was celebrated by the Orthodox Church under the name of Marina: her feast was on July 20. This cult, especially in its connection with childbirth, where the Saint is particularly invoked as Protectress and Patroness of women in travail, is found in the Poem by Wace, and in contemporary and later vernacular versions. It seems to have flourished most vigorously in Normandy, Flanders, and England from the twelfth century onwards, and down to at least the end of the seventeenth century in France.
