ref. ST16985GFrance first half of 14th century. 110 x 82 mm. 4 3/8 x 3 1/4". Single column 12 lines in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red line enders in pink and blue with gold accents each leaf with one or more one-line initials in blue with red penwork or gold with blue penwork some leaves with one two-line initial painted blue filled with either decorative shapes or INHABITED BY A HUMAN HEAD all on a gold ground one side of each leaf WITH A FULL BORDER composed of pink and blue tendrils accompanied by spikey gold decoration and gold accents often terminating in ivy leaves and incorporating EXTRAORDINARILY CHARMING EXAMPLES OF MARGINALIA INCLUDING ANIMALS HUMANS AND HYBRIDS. ◆Vellum slightly soiled and with a few minor imperfections one leaf with a little offsetting in one corner each leaf with a small area excised by a former owner affecting marginalia and a few words of text but each leaf with at least two fully intact examples of marginalia and on the whole the leaves quite clean the colors very bright and the gold sparkling. Though diminutive in size these leaves contain enormously appealing marginal decoration in the form of humans animals and hybrid creatures inventively incorporated into the lively borders in manners that range from adorable to bizarre. Especially popular in Flanders Northern France and England during the 13th and 14th centuries marginalia such as these comprise some of the most memorable and entertaining images to be found in any Medieval manuscripts. Despite being found largely in religious books such as Psalters and Books of Hours the images are often strange humorous or even outrageous and they provide us with consistent delight. Being by definition outside of the central text or miniature the margins seem to have been a place where illuminators felt more at ease to experiment resulting in highly imaginative and unique artistic expressions. The present specimens come from a fragmentary manuscript with many leaves either missing or rendered defective where portions of the vellum were cut away as here. Fortunately these leaves each retain at least two excellent examples of marginalia including a very alert hare hybrids with the heads of humans and the bodies of two-legged beasts humans emerging from the border tendrils to help hold up initials a human head with a wizened beard and a stylized hat incorporated into the border and a trumpeter blowing into a long instrument accented with gold. Though fragmentary in appearance these leaves present an excellent opportunity to acquire fine examples of marginalia at an affordable price.

1520ref. ST12778-0887cParis: Gilles Hardouyn ca. 1520. 177 x 110 mm. 7 x 4 1/4". Single column 33 lines in an attractive gothic type. With hand-illuminated initials and a FULL-PAGE MINIATURE DEPICTING THE RAISING OF LAZARUS ILLUMINATED IN COLORS AND GOLD BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND. See Hilary Maddocks "A Book of Hours by Anthoine Vérard" University of Melbourne Collections issue 16 2015 pp. 19-20. One quarter-inch repair to the center of the leaf which on the recto slightly affects Lazarus' neck and on the verso affects three letters which have been neatly touched up a handful of small chips to the paint the architectural border somewhat rubbed in the lower right corner mild soiling to the margins; not without flaws but a richly and carefully colored leaf that is still pleasing. Richly painted and amply highlighted with brushed gold this leaf from a printed Book of Hours includes a large miniature depicting the raising of Lazarus. Christ stands arm extended in benediction over the newly reawakened Lazarus who gazes up at him standing upright in his grave. A crowd looks on with a well-dressed man crouched in front of the grave apparently having helped Lazarus to stand. Our illuminator has enhanced the drama of the moment with the rosy cheeks of the bystanders emphasizing Lazarus' deathly pallor and with Jesus' shimmering robe distinguishing him from the crowd. The faces and folds of cloth are delicately shaded and the minutely detailed lines of gold carefully applied stylistically tying this printed leaf to the fully hand-painted Books of Hours that printed versions were slowly replacing during the early years of the 16th century. The composition seems to come from a suite of illustrations designed by illuminator Jean Pichore fl. 1490-1521 done for the printer Gilles also Gillet Hardouyn. Gilles Hardouyn (?) unknown

ref. ST20972b-cParis: Nicolas Vivien early 16th century. 197 x 130 mm. 7 3/4 x 5 1/8". Single column 28 lines gothic typeface. Ruled in red two one-line initials and two three-line initials painted in gold on red or blue ground and A LOVELY ANIMATED FULL PAINTED BORDER done by hand with trompe-l'oeil flowers one leaf also with a moth on painted gold ground. Top margin a little small light soiling to vellum borders with a couple superficial scratches and tiny smudges but in excellent condition overall. These beautifully embellished leaves from a printed Book of Hours demonstrate the enduring demand for manuscript illumination in the incunabular period and beyond. While the text here was completed on a printing press the initials and borders were done entirely by hand adding luxury and luster to otherwise unadorned pages. Although these leaves likely belonged to a Book of Hours printed in Paris possibly an edition printed for Nicolas Viven in or around 1503 the trompe-l'oeil style seen in the borders was particularly popular among Flemish and Netherlandish illuminators of the period. Because of the artist's use of subtle shading to indicate shadows the large blossoms here seem to pop off the page and one of the leaves contains a delicate little moth--attracted perhaps by the gleaming painted gold ground. Nicolas Vivien(?) unknown

ref. ST19350-006Germany 12th century. 272 x 185 mm. 10 3/4 x 7 1/4". Single column 28 lines in a late Caroline hand. ◆Leaf trimmed irregularly along one side about 18 lines lacking a letter or two vellum a bit wrinkled and worn text a little faded in places but still very presentable and the text almost entirely legible. Penned in a pleasing and very legible late Caroline hand this leaf has sustained very little loss and is remarkably well preserved for having been previously reused as binding scrap. Although the text includes several abbreviations that are commonly found in proto-gothic scripts the hand also shares a number of similarities with the Caroline minuscule that dominated Western Europe scribal hands in earlier periods including a long "s" with the shaft on the line and the use of the ampersand as a general abbreviation for the letters "et" occurring anywhere in a word. The text here comes from Pope Gregory the Great's "Moralia" conceived as a commentary on the book of Job and begun when Gregory was just a young papal envoy to Constantinople. It is a guide to the Christian life written in simple direct language which transforms the thought of Augustine into a practical manual of behavior. unknown
