A Salisbury inventory mentions two fans of vellum or other material.[66] The Chapel of St. Faith in the crypt of old St. Paul’s possessed, in 1298, a _muscatorium_ or fly-whip of peacocks’ feathers.[67] There is record of a gift to York Minster, between the years 1393 and 1413, of a silver-gilt handle for a flabellum.[68] In 1346, Hamo, Bishop of Rochester, presented to the cathedral ‘unum flabellum de serico cum virga eburnea.’[69] In the inventory of the Chapel of West Exeter, Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds, ‘i. muscifugium de pecock.’[70] In the enumeration of the valuable effects of the deceased Queen Isabella, daughter of Philippe le Bel, and consort of Edward II., the following entry appears: ‘De Capella, Duo flagella pro muscis fugandis.’[71] [Illustration: Portion of Ivory Handle of a Flabellum, French, 12th Cent.

In the churchwarden’s accounts at Walderswick, Suffolk, in 1493, is an entry of IVd. for ‘a bessume of pekoks fethers.’ Although the flabellum is very rarely represented in illuminated MSS., in the Book of Kells we find miniatures of angels waving these instruments; in the Gospel of Trèves (eighth century) is a conjoined evangelistic, symbolic figure holding a small flabellum in one hand and a eucharistic lance in the other. In a Hiberno-Saxon MS. of the eighth century a figure of St. Matthew is seen holding in his hand a flabellum. In the public library at Rouen are two representations of the use of this instrument; in the one, a thirteenth-century missal, formerly belonging to the abbey of Jumièges, the fan is held by the deacon in front of the altar at which the priest officiates; in the other, it is waved over the head of the priest as he elevates the wafer: this in a pontifical of the church of Rheims, thirteenth century. [Illustration: FROM A GREEK PSALTER. (British Museum.)] A psalter in Greek, British Museum, additional MSS. 19,352, gives a miniature of an angel waving a large flabellum over the head of David who is asleep; another instance occurs in a thirteenth-century Service-Book in the Barberini Library, given by Paciandi.[72] Representations in printed books are still more rare. In Barclay’s _Ship of Fools of the World_, 1509, we find, however, a woodcut illustration of a spectacled bibliophile wearing cap and bells, seated among his books, holding in his hand a flabellum of feathers, saying: ‘Attamen in magno per me servantur honore: Pulueris et cariem, plumatis tergo flabellis.’[73] the word _flabellis_ being here applied to the ordinary hand-brush or duster.
