REMARKABLE EXAMPLE OF A PERFECTLY PRESERVED PARISIAN RENAISSANCE BOOK OF HOURS WITH BINDING, CLASPS, AND PICTURES ALL INTACT. Illuminated manuscript on parchment, in Latin and French, France, Paris, c. 1500. Dimensions 220 x 130 mm., 90 folios, complete, written in a single column of 30 lines in a pleasing formal bâtarde book hand, rubrics in red, one-line initials throughout, numerous two-line initials, 14 LARGE AND 23 SMALL FINELY EXECUTED MINIATURES by the workshop of JEAN COENE IV (=MASTER OF THE PARIS ENTRIES). BINDING: Bound in ORIGINAL, unrepaired blind-stamped leather, with raised bands, two original openwork silver clasps, original catch plates and anchor plates, remnants of velvet chemise beneath, vellum pastedowns, all edges gilt. In a modern brown cloth clamshell box with leather spine label. ILLUSTRATION: This exceptional Book of Hours was clearly a premium production, almost certainly done by the master Jean Coene IV (active c. 1490-1520) himself. The harmonious composition of each scene, the use of vibrant color combinations, and the confident line strokes clearly indicate the work of a practiced hand. PROVENANCE: The manuscript's original owner was Jean Martin, an official in the French government, whose name and important genealogical dates are written in the back of this volume. Front pastedown contains an armorial bookplate of Monsieur le Marquis de Dollon (1769- 1856); later in a private collection. CONDITION: few marks and a little rubbing to the leather, small stain affecting top margin of one gathering, trivial erosion to paint, light rubbing to one or two miniatures, but all imperfections are very minor. Overall in outstanding condition. Full description and images available. (BOH 160)
