Hardcover. burgundy cloth boards w/ white spine printing. 310 pgs w/ primarily bw illustrations, select color. glossy burgundy dustjacket w/ color illustrations, orange printing. "In January of 1469 the accounts of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy record a payment to the scribe Nicolas Spierinc "for having written . some prayers for my lord." Seven months later the same accounts record a payment to the illuminator Lievin van Lathem for twenty-five miniatures plus borders and decorated initials in the same manuscript. In this thorough study, the late professor Antoine de Schryver presents a carefully reasoned argument that the documents refer to the exquisite prayer book of Charles the Bold now in the J. Paul Getty Museum. De Schryver's in-depth research opens a window onto the careers of the beloved van Lathem, who served three rulers of the Burgundian Netherlands over forty years, and of Nicolas Spierinc, the most inventive and brilliant scribe of Charles's court. This volume reproduces all of the book's miniatures and some of its elegant calligraphic pages."--Jacket.
