Images, Texts, and Marginalia in a "Vows of the Peacock" Manuscript (New York, Pierpont Morgan Library MS G24)
With a Complete Concordance and Catalogue of Peacock Manuscripts

Author:
The "Vows of the Peacock" - written in 1312 and dedicated to Thibaut de Bar, bishop of Liège - recounts how Alexander the Great comes to the aid of a family of aristocrats threatened by Indians. The poem remained popular throughout the fourteenth century and was soon followed by two sequels. Twenty-six illuminated manuscripts constitute part of a catalogue and concordance of all Peacock manuscripts. One of the most provocative, (PML, MS G24), has twenty-two miniatures which illustrate chivalry and courtly love, as epitomized in the text. An unusually high number of scurrilous marginalia, however, surround them. An interdisciplinary exploration of iconography, reception, image-text-marginalia dynamics, and context reveals their ultimate polysemy as scatological comedians and serious harbingers of sin.
Domenic Leo, Ph.D. (2005) in Art History, New York University, Institute of Fine Arts, is currently Adjunct Professor at Duquesne University,
Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. He is involved in multiple publications exploring illuminated manuscripts of French poet-composer Guillaume de Machaut's poetry and music.

âLeo provides a wealth of information that will be useful to many working on fourteenth- and fifteenth-century French manuscript production, on the Roman dâ Alexandre tradition, or on marginalia. The manuscript catalogue and concordances are particularly impressive, as is the bibliography, all of which provide an excellent foundation for future research.â

âthe book offers a treasure of interesting research material, plenty of photographs from the illustrative tradition, and a useful index of marginalia in the Glazier manuscript; it will be crucial for all future research on the Peacock manuscripts.â

"consists of an extremely detailed study of a single MS, Morgan Library MS G.24, which contains Jacques de Longuyonâs Voeux du paon (1312â13) as well as an incomplete copy of Jean le Courtâs Restor du paon (before 1338). While the choice of this MS was dictated by availability, L.âs penetrating analysis of the MS and its creation shows how much an art-historical approach complements philology by casting a different light on the materiality of the text and its images, especially as L. takes this opportunity to delve into the wider problem of the illustration and diffusion of the whole Peacock cycle, which also includes a third text, Jean de Le Moteâs Parfait du paon. After the conclusion in chapter 7, ch. 8 and 9 along with five appendices provide a wealth of useful details about the MSS, their miniatures and marginalia, in particular the illustrated catalogue of all the MSS of the âPeacock Cycleâ."
