Summary

[edit]

Author
English: Unknown French copyist copying Marguerite Porete (Romana Guarnieri established the authorship in 1946).
Title
English: "Le mirouer des simples âmes qui en vouloir et en desir demourent" (folio 19v, line 10-11) or "Le mirouer des simples âmes anienties et qui seulement demourent en vouloir et desir d’amour" (Folio 1r. While the title in folio 1r captures the essence of Porete’s thought, Guarnieri, Verdeyen (1986) say that the table of contents may not be from Porete). Commonly called the Mirror of Simple Souls or even shorter "the Mirror".
Date
English: Late 15th or early 16th century according to Guarnieri, Verdeyen (1986).
Medium
English: Paper. Paper from 1450-1530 according to Guarnieri, Verdeyen (1986).

Object history
English: This manuscript can be traced back to the Communauté des Dames Religieuses de la Magdaleine (Guarnieri 1965, Verdeyen 1986); Gnädinger (1987) says that this manuscript most probably was among the manuscripts the bishop of Meaux, Guillaume Briçonnet, gave to Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549). Later possessors include Jeanne Bontemps, Claudine Bontemps and the family of Bourbon-Condé (JONAS reference). Discovered in 1867 by F. Toldi (Introduction by Zum Brunn in Louis-Combet, Zum Brunn 1991). According to Babinsky (1993), it still belongs to the nunnery in Orléans and is only preserved in Chantilly, Bibliothèque du Château (Musée Condé). This manuscript is a copy long after Marguerite Porete wrote the original - which must have been no later than 1305-1306 where Porete had to watch the burning of (a copy of) her book in Valenciennes (Lerner 1993, Piron 2017) -, and linguistic developments away from Old French can be observed (e.g. Old French li → Middle French luy), as Kocher (2008) points out.

Public domain
This work is in the public domain in France for one of the following reasons:
  • Its author (or the last of its authors in the case of a collaboration work) died more than 70 years ago (CPI art. L123-1) and did not benefit from any copyright extension (CPI art. L123-8, L123-9 and L123-10)[1];
  • It is an anonymous or pseudonymous work (the identity of the author has never been disclosed) or a collective work[2] and more than 70 years have passed since its publication (CPI art. L123-3);
  • It is the recording of an audiovisual or musical work already in the public domain, and more than 50 years have passed since the performance or the recording (CPI art. L211-4).
Please note that moral rights still apply when the work is in the public domain. They encompass, among others, the right to the respect of the author's name, quality and work (CPI art. L121-1). Attribution therefore remains mandatory.
  1. ↑ Copyright extensions must be considered only in the case of musical works and of authors Mort pour la France (died during conflict, in the service of France). In other cases, they are included in the 70 years post mortem auctoris length (see this statement of the Cour de Cassation).
  2. ↑ The collective work status is quite restrictive, please make sure that it is actually established.
