(1-2 color, 3-32 halftone); 23 cm. `During May of 1964, Dr. John Plummer, the Library's Curator of Mediaeval and Renaissance Manuscripts, toured European libraries to examine manuscripts attributed to the Cleves Master. He has dedicated the ensuing summer to a study of the two portions of the Cleves… Hours, and his painstaking reconstruction of the original sequence of the leaves, achieved by iconographic, textual, and physical analysis, has proved beyond any doubt that they once formed a single rationally organized Book of Hours. The 157 surviving miniatures, out of a possible maximum originally of 166, could now be rearranged in proper order. They are so presented in our exhibition by means of color transparencies photographed in actual size, and are so described in this booklet.' (p. 2) VG, sewn, in lt. creased orig. rose beige wrapper.
