HORAE, use of Rome, in Latin and French. Hore christifere virginis marie secu[n]dum usum Romanu[m]. [Paris:] Simon Vostre, [c.1508].
A fine and richly illustrated Book of Hours with long-standing clerical provenance. The illustrations in this edition were provided by two workshops: Jean Pichore and collaborators designed the main set that comes in two sizes, and the Master of the Apocalypse Rose provided other engravings, which had already been used in Vostre’s incunable edition from 1495/96 onwards. Tenschert 95; not in Lacombe or USTC.
Quarto (246 x 173mm). 102 leaves, engraved title page with printer’s device, engraved narrative borders and numerous illustrations, many full page, initials supplied in red and blue, capital strokes in yellow, rubricated (occasional discreet repairs, light soiling). Late 16th-century French dark burgundy morocco, gilt ruling, floral ornaments and s-fermés, gilt and gauffered edges (a few expert repairs). Provenance: ‘FRAN?’ (gauffered on fore edge) – Sister Marie de Rugny (inscription on flyleaf recording the gift from her niece Damoiselle Ghilberte Chasseigne in 1612, and Rugny’s promise to her to hand it over to Jean Besson) – Jean Besson, Parish priest of Decize (signature, presumably upon receipt) – Berger, priest of Verneuil (inscription dated 1633 recording receipt of the book from Mr Noel Fougnot, Besson’s sole heir) – Boutoute, priest of Decize (inscription dated 18th June 1823). – Comte Roger de Barbentane (armorial bookplate).
