Document Details : Title: Puzzelen met Jan van Leeuwen Subtitle: Over een recent gevonden folio uit het vrijwel volledig verloren Groenendaalse verzamelhandschrift Author(s): DESPLENTER, Youri Journal: Spiegel der Letteren Volume: 66 Issue: 3 Date: 2024 Pages: 255-284 DOI: 10.2143/SDL.66.3.3293989 Abstract : In the archives of the Stichting Jean van Caloen (Loppem), a previously undiscovered and unexamined folio was found, once part of the original opera omnia manuscript of Jan van Leeuwen († 1378), produced and preserved at the priory of Groenendaal (near Brussels). Apart from a handful of separate folios (Ms. Brussels, Royal Library, II 138), the rest of the manuscript (c. 1415-1420) has been lost. This article presents a diplomatic edition of the folio, comparing it to the corresponding passages in the two other known witnesses of the text, namely Jan van Leeuwen’s second treatise on the Ten Commandments (1358). The comparison forms the basis for revised and new hypotheses concerning the textual tradition (the number of editions) and the distribution of Van Leeuwen’s opera omnia (the potential existence of loan copies). By doing so, we aim to clarify the relationships among the surviving text witnesses and provide insights into how Van Leeuwen’s works were distributed by Groenendaal. |
