A propos de cet article

[Modern-day Walloon Brabant, Belgium], dated May 1, 1622. Small quarto (18.7 × 14.7 cm). Contemporary vellum; boards ruled and with gilt fleurons to center; [52] pp. of manuscript text to rectos and versos, in brown ink on laid paper, in a neat, calligraphic hand. Text in French. Decorative title with signature and date to leaf [4]. Boards lightly distended and with a few stains; text resized to binding, minimally affecting the occasional letter edge and one chapter heading; paper somewhat toned and discolored; a few spots throughout; overall good or better. Anonymously authored and apparently unpublished manuscript, composed as part of a popular revival during the Counter Reformation of the cult of Our Lady of Basse-Wavre in Belgian Walloon Brabant, known today as Notre-Dame de Paix et de Concorde (Our Lady of Peace and Concord). The church had been founded as a Benedictine priory dedicated to Saint Mary, established by Affligem Abbey around 1092-1093 on land granted in 1086 by Count Henry III of Louvain and his brother Godfrey. In 1999, the chapel, which had become a parish church in 1803, was made a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II (the first and only basilica in the province of Walloon Brabant). According to tradition, around 1050 farmers heard the sounds of "heavenly music" from the current site of the church, the marshes of Basse-Wavre, and decided to erect a structure in honor of the Virgin after witnessing a miraculous apparition. The construction was then relocated from the unstable marshlands, but over and over it reverted to the original site by the morning. This culminated in a second vision, during which the Virgin was said to proclaim: "I will live in this valley, for I have chosen it" (the vision is also described in chapter one of the present work). The preface establishes the probity of the author's sources: he (or she) relied primarily on the "Chronica" of Sigebert of Gembloux (c. 1030-1112), a Benedictine monk of Gembloux Abbey, in addition to other "ancient manuscripts" and "public testimony." These are said to cumulatively demonstrate a frequency and "grandeur" of miracles surpassing even those of Apostolic times, and including "the greatest ones", such as the resurrection of the dead, the restoration of eyesight to the blind, and the curing of various illnesses. The manuscript is further divided into seven chapters, which cover the foundation of the church; the discovery of the reliquary; the translation of relics to Brussels and miracles effected there; gatherings and processions with the relics; "burning sickness extinguished" from the bodies of Brussels residents (most likely ergotism, or St. Antony's fire); the reliquary chest; and finally a number of miracles worked elsewhere in the region during processions. The cult of Notre Dame de Basse-Wavre primarily centered around a "small casket" (petit coffret) of relics discovered at the site of the original vision, which contained, among numerous other important relics, a fragment of the True Cross and of the Blood of Christ. By 1150, it was decided to translate the relics, which were now in a reliquary chest ("chapse") to Brussels (possibly to protect against the plague), where it was further embellished by silversmiths with precious metals and stones and where it worked countless miracles between the time of Easter and St. John's day (June 24). A later chapter describes another miracle involving the chest within this time frame, which may explain the subsequent tradition of a procession with the relics on June 24: seeing the many miracles associated with it, the religious at Affligem Abbey desired to take possession of the "chapse" in order to honor their own monastery with it. But when the many monks and religious came to Brussels, the chest would not budge until St. John's Day - again reenforcing the notion that the Virgin alone could chose the site of her cult. A fair copy in an easily legible hand, the manuscript is signed with the initials "CDP".…
