Laminated illustrated wrappers, 4to, 28 cm, 63, [1] pp, ills (some colour). From the blurb: "The Sforza Hours is one of the finest surviving Renaissance illuminated manuscripts, and has a fascinating history. Its lavish decorations were painted in two campaigns, the first in around 1490 for Bona of Savoy, widow of Galeazzo Sforza, Duke of Milan. Her miniaturist Giovan Pictro Birago had completed and delivered part of the book when a substantial part of the remainder was stolen, never to be returned. Thirty years later, in 1517-20, Bona's heir Margaret of Austria, Regent of the Netherlands, commissioned the Flemish painter Gerard Horenbout to execute sixteen additional miniatures to complement Birago's. Thus what had been begun as a masterpiece of the Milanese late Quattrocento was completed in the vanguard of the Northern Renaissance. Appropriately, it probably served as a gift for Margaret's nephew, the Emperor Charles V.The manuscript is outstanding for its rich decorative scheme and an unusually high number of its text pages have minutely detailed borders, initials and vignettes in deep blues, greens and rich reds, to match the many full-page miniatures.Mark Evans unravels the multi-faceted history of this manuscript and, with the help of reproductions of 80 full-pages and details (many in colour), demonstrates its unique place among the masterpieces of Renaissance art."
