(1507). HOURS A L'USAIGE DE ROME tout au long sans rien requerir. With the figures of the life of man and the destruction of Hierusalem. At the end: Les présentes heures... ont été nouvellement imprimées à Paris par Guillaume Anabat... pour Gillet Hardouyn... et Germain Hardouyn, (cal. de 1507 à 1520). 1 large volume in-8 (210 x 126), of 116 leaves, gothic characters, lavaliere morocco, large gilt decoration with small irons on the boards in a succession of friezes, decoration of foliage in the centre with the gilt initials F.A.T in a medallion, smooth spine decorated in the same way, 4 green, white and pink silk bookmarks, the ends of which are joined together in a small gusset embroidered with gold thread, gilt edges, a chased clasp (out of 2). (early 17th century binding). A superb copy printed on vellum, with all the figures, large and small, miniaturised, with gold highlights at the time. In addition to the centaur mark of the Hardouyns and the anatomical man framed by 4 vignettes, the very rich illustration is composed of 19 LARGE FIGURES, 24 SMALLER FIGURES and wide, rich borders, in which we can see loves supporting garlands, antique foliage, medallions decorated with helmeted heads, religious or military scenes... The large figures - very well done and fine, in rich portico frames - represent : Saint John Poisoned (8v) - The Arrest of Christ (11v) - The 4 Virtues (16v) - The Annunciation (17r) - Sybil of Tibur (24r) - Flagellation (28v) - Crucifixion (29r) - Pentecost (30r) - The Nativity (31r) - The Song of David (34r) - The Adoration of the Magi (37r) - The Adoration of the Wise Men (37r) - The Nativity (31r) - The Crucifixion (29r) - The Nativity (31r) - The Song of David (34r). Adoration of the Magi (37r) - Presentation in the Temple (40r) - Flight into Egypt (43) - The Dormition of the Virgin (47r) - Davide and Uriah (55v) - Death of Uriah (56r) - Parable of Lazarus (64r) - Resurrection of Lazarus (65v) - Assumption (100r). The figure of the flagellation and that of the Virgin surrounded by her mystical attributes are particularly beautiful and large (165 x 105). A very fresh copy, with the initials and line ends painted in gold on a coloured background. The 4 bookmarks are held together by gold thread in a small gold-embroidered fabric gusset, probably intended to enclose a relic. After X-raying and scanning the gusset (we would like to thank Madame Cécile Delpech, bibliophile-dentist, for her help), it could contain hair, but it is impossible to detect. A few defects and traces of soiling that are not serious. (Lacombe, n°159, small difference) (Brun, p. 210) (Mortimer, French n°295) (Brunet V, p.1633 n°229).
