165 x 115 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 1/2"). Single column, verso with 18 lines, in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, one three-line initial in blue filled with foliage on burnished gold ground, verso with panel border of colorful flowers, a vase, and acanthus, recto with A MINIATURE OF THE VIRGIN AND CHILD flanked by two angels, framed by gold and painted bars on three sides and A FULL BORDER of acanthus, flowers, a vase, and gold bezants. Minor soiling to vellum, but in excellent condition, the miniature especially well preserved. This especially intimate and tender scene shows the so-called Virgo Lactans (or Nursing Madonna), the Virgin suckling the infant Christ; it accompanies the text for "Obsecro te," a popular Marian prayer appealing to the Virgin for protection and intercession. The prayer is not always accompanied by a miniature, and the present illustration, being rather large and skillfully done, is a particularly appealing example. The Virgin's facial features are especially excellent, with beautiful molding and shading that give her visage deep complexity and emotional resonance. The use of gold in this miniature adds to its richness; delicately highlighted garments, tresses, and angel wings catch the light and seem to shimmer as one moves the page. The high-quality illumination, liberal use of gold, and robust borders all suggest that the original manuscript must have been the product of an accomplished workshop.…

163 x 115 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 1/2"). Single column, 18 lines in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, line fillers in blue and pink with gold bezant, six one-line initials in burnished gold on pink and blue ground, two two-line initials in blue on gold ground with a flower in the center, one three-line initial in blue filled with ivy on gold ground, verso with panel border of colorful flowers and acanthus, recto with A LARGE ARCH-TOPPED MINIATURE OF THE CORONATION OF THE VIRGIN with an "L" shaped frame of burnished gold and painted flowers, and A FULL BORDER of acanthus, flowers, a man playing a bagpipe, and a hybrid creature wearing a hat, all on a painted gold ground. Very minor wrinkling to vellum, but the leaf IN LOVELY CONDITION, with the gold everywhere gleaming brightly. From a luxuriously appointed Book of Hours, this leaf features a handsome miniature of the Coronation of the Virgin attributed to the workshop of Jean Pichore (fl. ca. 1502-20), a major figure among illuminators of the period and one of the most sought-after artists in France at the turn of the 16th century. Executed with imagination and delicacy, the miniature features the traditional subject associated with the hour of Compline, showing the Virgin being crowned Queen of Heaven, following her Death and Assumption. The composition here is quite intimate, with the Virgin kneeling before her son as she accepts, with humility, the crown he lays upon her head. Christ is depicted barefoot and slightly bowed toward his mother in a gentle display of respect. The artist creates a wonderful backdrop for this scene, composed entirely of seraphim painted gold, blue, light pink, and green, closely packed together. Two of the seraphim hold up light pink draperies behind the central figures, as if to shield this tender moment from prying eyes. The borders here are a source of delight, featuring a figure wearing a jester-like cap and playing the bagpipe as well as a creature with the body of a bird and the face of a human, donning a rather fashionable bycocket cap. The illumination here is of high quality, features a liberal use of gold, and contains unique marginal details, suggesting that the original manuscript must have been a costly commission for a wealthy patron.…

165 x 117 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 5/8"). Single column, 18 lines in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, line fillers in blue and pink with gold bezant, five one-line initials in burnished gold on pink and blue ground, one two-line initial in blue on gold ground with a flower in the center, one three-line initial in blue filled with ivy on gold ground, recto with panel border of colorful flowers, vase, and acanthus, verso with A LARGE ARCH-TOPPED MINIATURE OF THE ANNUNCIATION TO THE SHEPHERDS, surrounded by A FULL BORDER of acanthus, flowers, and two birds, all on a painted gold ground. Slight soiling to vellum, but a very well-preserved leaf in fine condition. From what was surely a costly Book of Hours, this leaf features a charming and skillfully painted miniature of the Annunciation to the Shepherds, attributable to the workshop of Jean Pichore (fl. ca. 1502-20), a major figure among illuminators of the period and one of the most sought-after artists in France at the turn of the 16th century. Depicting the traditional subject associated with the hour of Terce, our miniature portrays, as usual, an angel appearing to shepherds tending their flock, bringing news of the birth of Christ. Although the biblical narrative suggests that the shepherds were startled by the angel's appearance, the three figures in this miniature appear remarkably unmoved--in fact, only one of them seems to take any notice at all. The first shepherd sits on the ground, looking straight ahead; the second holds his hands in prayer but looks little more than, well, prayerful at the angel in the sky; and a third figure maintains a slightly aloof expression, taking no particular interest in the unfolding miraculous event. What may seem to be indifference can be explained easily enough by the artist's successful portrayal of nighttime cold! All three shepherds are thickly dressed, one with his arms pressed tightly against his chest, another with a hood partly covering his face, and the sheep are tightly huddled together into one woolly white cluster. Another manifestation of the artist's success here is seen in the particularly well done molding of the faces, with subtle shading, attractively rendered features, and clear individuation. Moreover, although the shepherds seem essentially unmoved, their garments are dusted with a glistening gold radiance from above, a further subtle touch revealing a high level of achievement on the part of the painter. Finally, the borders are one last source of delight, with a small bird shown in mid-flight, and a second one investigating a single strawberry that seems to have been placed there just for him. All of these indications of sophistication suggest that the original manuscript must have been commissioned by a patron able to pay a premium for the work of a highly skilled atelier.…

109 x 81 mm. (4 1/4 x 3 1/8"). Single column, 14 lines in a gothic book hand. 161 leaves. COMPLETE. Contents: Calendar (f. 1r); Mass of the Holy Spirit (f. 14r); Mass of the Holy Cross (f. 23r); Requiem Mass (f. 30r); Prayer on the Seven Last Words of Christ by the Venerable Bede (f. 36v); Passion according to John (f. 40v); blank (f. 53); Hours of the Holy Cross (f. 55r); Mass of the Virgin Mary (f. 60r); Gospel Lessons (f. 66v); Hours of the Virgin (f. 73r); Penitential Psalms (f. 126r); Litany (f. 138r); Office of the Dead (f. 144r). PLEASING NEAR-CONTEMPORARY BLIND-ROLLED CALF (apparently with some old, skilled restoration to joints, spine, and corners), covers with rolled vine border surrounding a panel of three columns bearing a roll with parts of the inscription "AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENA," each word separated by one of four small motifs (a flower, a human profile, the lamb of god, and a sitting animal--perhaps a lion), raised bands, compartments with part of the same inscription roll. Lacking the original ties. Housed in a very attractive custom-made brown calf folding case with blind-stamped lettering on the spine, interior lined in suede, the whole within a calf-lipped, suede-lined matching slipcase. Rubrics in red, numerous one-line initials in blue with red penwork, or gold with dark blue penwork, many two-line initials in burnished gold on pink and blue ground with white embellishments, several larger "I" initials (between four and 11 lines) in burnished gold on pink and blue ground with white embellishments, 12 six- to seven-line initials, some painted pink or blue with white embellishments and filled with flowers and tendrils on a gold ground, or the initial in burnished gold on pink and blue ground with white embellishments, EIGHT LARGE MINIATURES, each inside a thin gold frame and with a three-quarter border of gilt leaves, hairline vines, and floral spays, each facing page with a similar three-quarter border, the subjects of the miniatures being: the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove (f. 13v); St. Helena and the True Cross (f. 22v); Raising of Lazarus (f. 29v); Crucifixion (f. 54v); Virgin and Child Enthroned (f. 59v); Annunciation (f. 72v); Last Judgment (f. 125v); Funeral Mass (f. 143v). Prickings visible in fore margins. See: Defoer, et. al, "The Golden Age of Dutch Manuscript Illumination," pp. 75-86. Just minor wear to the solid, very pleasing early binding. A little chipping (almost always mild) to four of the miniatures with square frames (the fifth, the Annunciation, somewhat rubbed and faded, the three domed miniatures perfectly intact), vellum with minor soiling and thumbing in places (especially in lower corners of leaves in second half), other trivial imperfections, but overall a very well-preserved manuscript with no major issues. This enchanting little prayer book features eight attractive miniatures, large gleaming burnished gold initials, and a pleasing period binding--all in an excellent state of preservation. The miniature program here can be attributed to the so-called Masters of Otto van Moerdrecht, the name given to a variety of Dutch artists active in the 1430s and '40s, all working in a similar mode (rather than to a specific master or workshop). According to Defoer et al., the work of these miniaturists "exhibit varied compositional formulas and bright, highly contrasting colors . . . . The small, somewhat doll-like figures appear rather wooden, but their expressive gestures give the scenes a varied and vivid character." Two artistic hands are responsible for the present miniatures. The artist behind the first three miniatures, all set within domed gilt frames (the Holy Spirit, St. Helena, and Raising of Lazarus), shows particular skill, with a very smooth application of color, figures with long, eloquent hands, and faces with subtle white highlighting. A second artist was responsible for the remaining five miniatures, set within square golden frames (Crucifixion, Virgin and Child Enthron.…
