Frankfurt am Main, 9 August 1725.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare and evocative survival from the formative age of Europe's coffeehouse culture, this municipal broadside records the efforts of the Imperial Free City of Frankfurt to regulate the sale of the newly fashionable stimulants and luxury beverages that were transforming social life across the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssued in the name of the \u003cem\u003eBürgermeistere und Rath\u003c\/em\u003e of Frankfurt, the ordinance arose from complaints lodged by the city's licensed \u003cem\u003eCaffee-Schencken\u003c\/em\u003e, coffeehouse keepers who had purchased from the municipal authorities the exclusive right to maintain public coffee establishments. According to their petition, a growing number of traders had begun to infringe these privileges by serving coffee and other fashionable refreshments outside the authorised coffeehouses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edict therefore intervenes directly in the commercial life of the city, naming among the offenders innkeepers, tavern proprietors, confectioners, perfumers, brewers, cooks, and caterers, all of whom were accused of selling prohibited beverages to the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly remarkable is the range of commodities explicitly listed.

The petitioners emphasise that they alone had paid a substantial sum into the city treasury for the right to maintain public coffeehouses, and the council responds by forbidding all unauthorised sale of these beverages.

The parent manuscript has previously been recognised as a \u003cem\u003eKyriale \u003c\/em\u003emade for the Dominican convent at Poznań in 1632 (cf. Bloomsbury Auctions, London, 6 July 2022, lot 59), but the now-dispersed manuscript has apparently never previously been recognised as a work of Derey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe attribution proposed here rests upon a close conjunction of date, Dominican provenance and, above all, decorative vocabulary and has been independently supported by an expert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDerey’s surviving manuscripts have received considerable scholarly attention. Zbigniew Mikołejko characterises his work by its subdued or “broken” palette, particularly yellows; gilded and silvered grounds; a repertoire of zoomorphic ornament which specifically includes dolphins; and, most characteristically, elaborate one-, two-, three- and four-strand interlace. All are strongly represented in the present leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly close comparison may be made with Derey’s Dominican liturgical manuscripts preserved in Kraków, where closely related knotwork, colouring, ornamental lettering and zoomorphic forms recur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chronology is equally compelling. Derey was producing major Dominican choirbooks during precisely this period: the surviving corpus includes the \u003cem\u003eSupplementum\u003c\/em\u003e of 1630 (MS 12 L), \u003cem\u003eGraduale de tempore\u003c\/em\u003e of 1632 (MS 9 L), \u003cem\u003eGraduale de sanctis\u003c\/em\u003e of 1633 (MS 11 L), and \u003cem\u003eGraduale de tempore\u003c\/em\u003e of 1635 (MS 10 L). Those manuscripts are themselves substantial folios, generally approximately 26–28 × 38–40 cm. At 41 × 60 cm, however, the present Poznań Kyriale was conceived on an altogether more monumental scale and would appear to be the largest manuscript presently attributable to Derey by a considerable margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts historical setting is equally exceptional. The \u003cem\u003eKyriale \u003c\/em\u003ewas produced for the Poznań Dominicans apparently under the direction of their prior, Jacek (Hyacinth) Choryński, whose name reportedly appeared on its original frontispiece together with that of the Polish Dominican Provincial, Jerzy Trebnic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year 1632 marked the culmination of an important programme of artistic and devotional patronage at the Poznań convent. Under Choryński the house commissioned Tomasso Dolabella’s monumental Battle of Lepanto, now at Wawel Castle, for the Rosary Chapel. Its principal financial patron was Stanisław Przyjemski, Grand Marshal of the Crown. Aleksander Stankiewicz has argued that, while Przyjemski probably supplied the money, the learned Choryński may himself have devised the painting’s intellectual and iconographic programme; he even proposes that the Dominican friar depicted holding a book and candle may represent Choryński.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appearance of Choryński’s name on the \u003cem\u003eKyriale’s \u003c\/em\u003efrontispiece therefore has particular significance. Created for the same convent, in the same year, and on a similarly exceptional scale, the manuscript may plausibly have formed part of the wider programme of liturgical and artistic renewal over which he presided. It is even possible that Przyjemski, whose patronage financed the Dolabella commission, contributed towards the costly production of the Gradual, although no documentary evidence for his involvement has yet been identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral leaves from the parent codex are known. Its surviving frontispiece reportedly carried a lengthy Latin inscription dating the manuscript, identifying its chant as following the Dominican edition of Seraphinus Siccus of 1620, naming Trebnic and Choryński, and recording the Poznań convent as its destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe parent manuscript had already been dispersed by 1966; leaves passed through the dealer Bruce Ferrini in the 1990s, while another leaf formerly in the collection of Cornelius J.
