France (probably Besançon), 3rd quarter of 15th century. 239 x 165 mm. (9 3/8 x 6 1/2"). Single column, 15 lines in an elegant gothic book hand. Rubrics in dark pink, line enders in pink and blue with white tracery and gold bezant, several one-line initials and two two-line initials in burnished gold on dark pink and blue ground with white tracery, each side with a panel border composed of hairline vines with gold ivy and bezants, a few colorful flowers, and each inhabited by a colorful bird. ◆Minor chipping to the gold of one initial, trivial smudge to border, but IN VERY FINE CONDITION. From a large Book of Hours probably produced in Besançon, this leaf features very pretty panel borders, each inhabited by a colorful bird with long tail feathers, positioned as if to hold the end of an acanthus leaf in its mouth. In addition to these fine illustrations, luxurious touches such as the numerous gilt initials, several dozen gilt bezants and ivy leaves in each panel border, and the unusually wide… Read More

Northern France [probably Paris], ca. 1460s. 130 x 98 mm. (5 1/8 x 3 7/8"). Single column, recto with 18 lines of text in a very fine gothic book hand. Text in red, blue, and gold, "KL" in blue with white tracery and on a burnished gold ground and infilled with ivy leaves in blue, orange, and white, BOTH SIDES WITH A PANEL BORDER, EACH WITH A ROUNDEL DEPICTING THE ZODIAC SIGN AND LABOR OF THE MONTH, placed amidst a tangle of acanthus leaves in blue, red, and brushed gold. ◆Recto with a little general soiling, the roundel lightly abraided, and a noticeable smudge to the top of the panel border, but the verso quite clean with just a little discoloration to margins and the "KL" offset from facing page, the roundel on this side in excellent condition with just one or two very small scratches. This leaf comes from a large fragment of a beautifully executed little Book of Hours done by very sophisticated artists whose illumination in general--and zoomorphic inhabitation in particular--is extremely… Read More

Italy, perhaps Tuscany, 15th century, but with a 20th century[?] miniature. 591 x 406 mm. (23 1/4 x 16"). Five lines of text beneath five four-line staves of music, the text in a very large, clean gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, three large initials painted in red or blue with elaborate penwork in the contrasting color, the verso WITH A FINE MODERN REPLICA INHABITED INITIAL showing a young, strong, dark-skinned figure who appears to be Christ, considerable leafy foliage emanating from the letter up and down the left margin (the initial measuring approximately 95 x 110 mm.). ◆Lower outer corner ragged, the hair side of the leaf with minor overall darkening, slight soiling, and faint wrinkling, but a leaf with no serious problems and generally pleasing, especially because the initial is in perfect condition. This is an authentic Medieval choirbook leaf from the 15th century, with text and music written out by Medieval scribes, but with an inhabited initial that was almost certainly added by a… Read More

Poitiers, ca. 1470. 157 x 107 mm. (6 1/4 x 4 1/4"). Single column, 14 lines, in a neat, regular gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, with several one-line initials and one two-line initial in brushed gold on red or blue squares, WITH A VERY PLEASING PANEL BORDER ON EACH SIDE, featuring blue and gold acanthus leaves and flowers, and WITH A COLORFUL HYBRID MONK IN RECTO BORDER, AND A GROTESQUE IN VERSO BORDER. ◆Vellum slightly yellowed and a touch wrinkled in margins, but IN FINE CONDITION OVERALL. This leaf contains two immensely charming creatures in the borders: on the recto, the torso of a monk in flamboyant pink robes and a green hood holds an open book and what appears to be a small scourge, while his lower body consists of the hindquarters of a hairy animal; the verso features an oddly shaped beast with a long snout, tail, and two hind legs.

Headlines written in French in a later (18th century?) calligraphic hand. ◆Light soiling, rubrics faded, gold somewhat dulled, the frame around the miniature a bit chipped and the lower half the figure's face without paint (questionable as to whether this was a choice by the artist, as it rather resembles a white beard), but these issues mostly minor, and one the whole a very nice specimen, generally clean and smooth, with ample margins and bright color. From a charmingly decorated 15th century prayer book, this lovely leaf offers the opportunity to acquire a particularly nice miniature with considerable gold… Read More

Germany, early 16th century. 165 x 113 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 1/2"). WITH A CHARMING MINIATURE SHOWING ADAM AND EVE BEING EVICTED FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN BY A SWORD-WIELDING ANGEL, set within a thick gilt arch-topped frame. ◆Vellum lightly soiled and toned, gilt frame, sky, and figures with some rubbing and flaking (particularly to the Adam and the angel, revealing some underdrawing), but despite some condition issues, the leaf with a good deal of charm in its depiction of appealing and infrequently seen subject matter. This unusual miniature illustrates the Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, an emotional moment in which Adam brings his hands together in a sign of contrition, and Eve glances back one more time before leaving Paradise forever. Behind them, an angel in a long white robe and with colorful wings holds a menacingly long sword horizontally in the air, pointing the way out through an arched portal in the wall, a dirt path leading them away from Eden.

Description:
Northern France [probably Paris], ca. 1460s. 130 x 98 mm. (5 1/8 x 3 7/8"). Single column, 14 lines in a fine gothic book hand. Attractively matted. The text similarly decorated as in the previous entry, but with the panel border on the verso inhabited by a leaping dog, the same side WITH A GOLD-FRAMED MINIATURE (measuring 35 x 33 mm.) OF SAINT CLAUDE OF BESANÇON attired in his bishop's regalia, standing in a hallway between two arch-topped doors, reading a book. ◆A fine, fresh leaf, with only the vaguest sense of soiling. Born in 603 and living well into his 90s, Saint Claude (or Claudius) became Archbishop of Besançon in 685 and after his death was so popular that his shrine became one of the major destinations for pilgrims in France, the town where he was buried actually changing its name from Condate to Saint Claude. Lore surrounding this saint strains credulity, and the historian Henry Wace has said that "on this saint the inventors of legends have compiled a vast farrago of… Read More

Description:
BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore. Opera collazionata e risultata completa. Legatura in pergamena. Non comune. Copertina in piena pergamena con… Read More

Description:
LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14). Edizione del 1548 di questa nota opera letteraria scritta da Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) nato a Corneto (antico nome di Tarquinia) detto anche Adriano da Corneto. Castellesi fu grechista, ebraista, autore di poemetti, opere di stile, grammatiche e filosofico-teologiche. Espertissimo di affari, si arricchì enormemente destando in tal modo l'invidia di Cesare Borgia che tentò di avvelenarlo. Andato in esilio e ritornato in patria all'avvento di Leone X, dovette ritornarvi perchè accusato di aver preso parte alla congiura del Cardinale Petrucci. Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine. Alla fine risulta molto interessante il poema sulla caccia organizzata dal Cardinale Ascanio Sforza nei pressi… Read More
