[Heures] (Usage de Rome). — Hore Beate Marie Virginis S[E]C[Un]D[U]M Usum Romanu[M] Sine Require

Paris, Antoine Verard, 1507. Leather bound. Worn and ancient leather with vellum sheets. 215 x 145 mm Possibly lacking a frontis and a colophon. Text is 28 lines. Verard's printer's device within an architectural frame; + Anatomical Man within a frame; + 12 Large illustrations within a frame; and 4 with no frame. One of these was colored (with the old color somewhat gone). One or two illus are lightly printed and/or worn. A tear in one. A series of cuts (often repeated) frame each text page. Most initials are rubricated. The 28 lines match Macfarlane Antoine Vérard (1900), 251 (giving a date of 1511 (?), citing a copy on London vellum. These very remarkable hours which are unknown in Brunet's supplement have as their title an escutcheon with the legend of Antoine Verard in the middle of which is a heart inscribed with the monogram AVR above which rise the three fleurs-de-lys supported by two angels." (Bibliotheca Hulthemiana, 604). - Another copy listed: Madrid, Biblioteca Historica Complutense, BH FG 3797. Given that there are 28 line per page, rather than 32 found in a similar copy dated at 1510, it is not unreasonable to estimate this copy at 1507 or earlier. Very similar to Lot 5, sold by Drouot on March 22, 2022, though not as nicely colored. Fair+ .
