France: np. 1st Edition. No Binding. Very Good. Crucifixion Scene from a French Book of Hours (c. 1470). Beautiful miniature from a French Book of Hours circa 1470 painted on vellum. Recto: The scene depicts the Crucifixion with Mary and Mary Magdalen mourning beside the cross. To the right of the central figure, an army watches on, led by a captain on horseback. Before the leader lays a skull and bones. The clothing of the principle figures (except Christ) is especially brilliant textured in gold. In addition to gold, the artist used primarily a blue, red, green, and white palette. The border surrounding the miniature is a magnificent full border containing two drolleries amidst rich foliage of blue and red flowers, green leaves, and blue and gold acanthus leaves. Contains 8 lines of text with a 4-line initial "D" painted in gold on a mauve background. 2 additional single-line initials painted in blue, red & burnished gold. Verso: 16 lines of text written in brown ink with red rubrics. 2 2-line initials and 3 1-line initials in red, blue and burnished gold. Partial border containing a bird surrounded by thistles, green & gold leaves and blue & gold acanthus leaves. From the Hours of the Holy Cross. Size: 133 x 93 mm (approx. 5.3 x 3.7 inches) Miniature: 47x 36 mm The text in Latin: Domine labia mea aperies. Et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. Deus in adiutorium meum intende. Domine ad adiuvandum me festina. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat...Patris sapientia, veritas divina, Deus homo captus est hora matutina: A notis discipulis cito derelictus: English translation: Thou O Lord wilt open my lips. And my mouth shall declare Thy praise. Incline unto my aid O God. O Lord make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit... The wisdom of the Father, and truth divine beside, God and man surprised was even at the morning tide: His known disciples left Him for to follow more.

Description:
c.s.xv(ex)/s.xvi(in). Very Good. VIVID DEPICTION OF ICONIC SCENE FROM THE LIFE OF GREGORY THE GREAT. This richly-illustrated manuscript leaf from a late medieval book of hours depicts the miraculous Mass of St Gregory, during which Christ appeared to the congregation during a Mass of which Gregory the Great was the celebrant. The folio begins with the conclusion of the Collect for St. Nicholas, with the bottom of the page announcing the following section "De sancto gregorio" [On Saint Gregory]. The petition to Gregory that follows on the verso is accompanied by a magnificent miniature of one of the most esteemed subjects in late medieval art: the Mass of St Gregory. Manifested in a number of varying accounts, the legend maintains that, upon a congregant doubting the presence of Christ during the preparing of Communion (sometimes identified as an elderly parishioner and sometimes as the "doubting deacon" to Gregory's side), Christ appeared at the altar in the form of the Man of Sorrows - thus…

Description:
France: np, 1480. First edition. Framed. Very Good. STUNNING FULL-PAGE MINIATURE OF SAINT BARNABAS FROM A 15TH-CENTURY BOOK OF HOURS. The full-page miniature on vellum, with fine detail and rich color, depicts the prophet dressed in a blue robe with a gold cape, (presumably) in the act of preaching with (as he is usually shown) a book cradled in his left hand. He stands before columns and arches revealing a mountainous landscape and blue sky in the distance. The image is framed by gold pillars and with “Sancte Barnaba” written in gold on a blue background in the base. Saint Barnabas, “son of consolation... stands first on the list of prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch” (Easton’s Bible Dictionary). The reverse, with one large two-line decorated initial, contains the end of the text dedicated to Saint Matthias, with the heading for Saint Barnabas. Judging from the style, the leaf appears to be from a French Book of Hours,…
