My interest in the Bible moralisée was settled definitely after my first visit to the Treasury of the Toledo Cathedral in 1967. At that time, and thanks to Louis Grodecki, l had the opportunity to meet the only two specialists then dealing with the Bible: Reiner Haussherr, then at Bonn University in Germany, and Robert Branner from Columbia University in New York. l was fortunate lU meet these two outstanding researchers at several European institutions with collections of medieval manuscripts. 1am thankful for the understanding and constant support of Professor George Galavaris, my supervisar, who strove to keeping me within the boundaries of my project while patir;ntly revising my ideas and my texts. My gratitude also goes to my three Latin professors from the Université de Montréal: Mr. Pierre Boglioni, Mr. Réal Brabant and Mr. André Longpré. With great patience and kindness they helped me to recover a good part of my knowledge of Latin, which had disappeared over the years. Professor Roger Reynolds from the Pontifical Institcte of Medieval Studies at the University of 2 • • Toronto drew my attention to the interrelationship between medieval texts and iconography. Mr. François Avril, Chief Curator of the Département des Manuscrits de la Bibliothèque Nationale 1:1 Paris, was always very generous and helpful; the Paris copy of the Bible moralisée was always accessible to me whenever 1needed to consult it. The same is truc for Dr. Otto Mazal, fOimer Director of the Department of IIluminated Manuscripts at the Oesterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, Austria. William Voelkle, Curator at the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York, was a very positive contact. Many theory and idea arose from our long discussions. 1 am grateful to the staff of the previously mcntioned Iibraries and museums, as weil as to those of the British Library, London. 1 also owe a sincere thank you to a Spanish colleague, Jesusa Vega from the Academia San Fernando in Madrid. She arranged several of my visits to Toledo Cathedral, and straightened up sorne of the difficulties with the cathedral chapter. 1 am particularly grateful to Father Edencio Cofreces, the Dean of the C'.athedral who is directly responsible for the Treasury where the "Biblia de San Luis", the Toledo Bible moralisée, is presently on display. A research project such as this one cannot be undertaken without the help of colleagues and those in charge of institutions. Stéphanie Lang from the Service Photographique de la Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris, Dr. Wolfgang Milde from the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany, and Dr. Franz Pointer from the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich were ail very patient, kind and helpful. Professor Robert Murray from the Department ofArt History at Columbia University, New York, was more than generous in lelting me use the rich photographie Iibrary of his Department without restriction. Linda Strauss, keeper of that Iibrary, never spared her time to make ail the photos accessible to me. In the same way, 1 owe a large debt to Father Robert Thomas, O.c.s.O., from the Abbaye Cistercienne Notre-Dame de Sept-Fons, France, who brought 3 • to my attention possibilities about different interpretations of the Song ofSolomon in the "'fiddle Ages. Equal recognition must go to my sister-in-law, Mrs. Christiane Wild-Block, a former stlldent of Louis Grodecki, and a recognized stained glass window specialist in France. Many friends and colteagues gave me endless support, advice and help during this work. 1 cannot name them ait, however, 1 assure them that they will not be forgotten. Mrs. Liliane Stewart, P,esident of the Macdonald Stewart f-oundation for which 1 am working, was kind enough to altow me sorne time off for my research. Giles Rivest, the photographer of the Foundation, made ait of my photographs and slides. Last but not least, 1 thank my wife Elisabeth for her endless patience, her understanding and her loving kindness; she helped me ta complete this long project without making me feel guilty for my frequent absences and my tao long busy evenings. 4 • TABLE OF CONTENTS Ecclesia-Sponsa in the Song of Salomon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 37 Sponsus-Sponsa in the Song of Solomon of the Bible moralisée 39 Comparative study of miniatures and texts 2.1.
