Añadir al carritoFacsimile edition, limited to 500 numbered copies and 50 'Ad Personam' copies, this being number 345. Two volumes including the 'Scholarly Commentary' volume and the facsimile manuscript volume. The facsimile and companion volume are accompanied by a limitation page/certificate bearing the seal of the Israel Museum, the home of…the original manuscript. The certificate is signed by Iris Fishof, Curator of Judaica at the Israel Museum and by the publisher. Facsimile Manuscript: (8 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches; 210 x 155 mm). 948 pages, of which 816 are illuminated. Printed on facsimile vellum which was created over a process of a year in a paper mill in Italy, specifically for this facsimile and has been acclaimed to be the closest likeness to vellum ever achieved. It was printed offset litho in up to twelve colors. The original manuscript was disbound and photographed with a glass overlay to eliminate all curvature towards the spine. The printed page is the exact same size as the original. Three different types of gold found in the original have been reproduced here in the facsimile, Burnished gold, craftsmen applied the leaf by hand in a "building-up" process to achieve the raised look as in the original. Flat gold, applied by hand using metal leaf. And Powdered Gold, applied to all illuminations that contain it in the original. In the original manuscript, the scribe pricked minute holes on either side of the folio between which he would rule lines for his script. These holes have been reproduced on the pages of this facsimile, the first time this has been done. There is also actual worming holes, reproduced as there are in the original. The pages have been cut to the exact same size and shape as the original and then aged exactly the same and then all edges gilt with 23 carat gold. Bound in dark maroon morocco goatskin over wooden boards. Covers and spine elaborately tooled in blind. The top cover has four silver clasps that are attached by leather thongs, attached to the book by small silver nails. Some very minor rubbing to boards and spine. Housed in a morocco-tipped cloth hinged slipcase with a blind-tooled morocco strap closure. A fine example of this amazing facsimile. Commentary volume: (8 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches; 210 x 155 mm). 256 pp, with errata slip laid in. Containing a full table of contents, and all texts and illustrations are indexed and cross-referenced. Bound to match the facsimile manuscript in full maroon morocco goatskin. Elaborately tooled in blind on boards and spine. Housed in a morocco-tipped cloth slipcase. "This volume is in itself the most comprehensive work ever written about the Rothschild Miscellany." (prospectus) "The Rothschild Miscellany was commissioned by Moses ben Yekuthiel Hacohen probably around 1470 at the height of the Renaissance in Italy. The Rothschild Miscellany as it is now known, is the most elegantly and lavishly executed Hebrew manuscript of that era. From its inception, it was planned as a sumptuous work to encompass, in minute detail, almost every custom of religious and secular Jewish life." (from the prospectus). "The Rothschild Miscellany consists of more than 70 religious and secular works. Among the religious books are Psalms, Proverbs and Job and a yearly prayer book including the Passover Haggadah. All have textual illustrations for each festival and prayers for special occasions. The secular books include philosophical, moralistic and scientific treatises. This large collection of miscellaneous yet connected texts became the framework for an unprecedented programme of illumination. No other Hebrew manuscript equals the richness and scope of the illumination of this Miscellany." (from the prospectus). HBS 69578. $8,500. ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT (ilustrador). Signed.

Añadir al carrito20 pp. illuminated calligraphic manuscript including blanks with large illuminated image of the Coat of Arms of Worthing on the title page in blue, grey, black, white, re, purple, green yellow and gold, dramatic iluminated word 'Out' on the first page of text in blue, red, white, black and gilt, a fine illustrated calligraphic c…alendar incoroporating the months of the year with relevant flowers and seeral large gilt and red initials, alongside small decorations including gilt stars and a small pen and ink drawing of the Downs. 38.5 x 28.3 cm. Tall folio, in a well done but probably amateur unsigned binding, perhaps by the calligrapher, of blue/green morocco with dark green morocco spine, both sides with a looping pattern, reminiscent of calligraphy, in blind superimposed with a zig zag design in gilt, spine cleverly lettered in gilt and blind with the whole title 'Andante' in each of the seven panels each highlighting a different letter in gilt to spell the title across the whole spine, turn-ins with triple gilt fillets. In very good, bright condition with only a little rubbing and slight chipping to the top of the spine. The text, apparently by the scribe, is in effect a guide to walks on the South Downs in Sussex around Worthing. The routes are very immediately described - for instance in one the walker begins in Worthing and following 'Honeysuckle Lane', reaches Chanctonbury Ring, then pushes through the brambles past St Bodolph's Church, sweats up the Round Hill and finally arrives in beautiful Arundel "one of the most attractive, yet dignified of the smaller Sussex towns". The manuscript was a gift, 'To M' which supports the theory that it was bound by the scribe. The calligraphic colophon in gilt and blue signed by the scribe 'DG' declares: 'The author trusts that the majority of his readers will enjoy this book of downland walks. He suggests that the minority turn it upside down, and in so doing derive some pleasure from the pattern thus produced'. Unfortunately we don't know the identity of D G, but the work is superb and full of life, as are descriptions of the walks.

Añadir al carritoAn extensively and beautifully decorated Dutch-language book of hours, written on good quality vellum and dated 1488, and illuminated by the Master of the Brussels Hours of the Bezborodko Group, being one of the stylistic groups of the famous Masters of the Dark Eyes. The present book of hours was hitherto unrecorded as manuscri…pt of these famous illuminators of medieval manuscripts and it appears to be the earliest example of a manuscript decorated by the Master of the Brussels Hours of the Bezborodko Group.With regards to the text, the present manuscript can be considered as a quite common book of hours, as it contain texts often present in these books (the Hours of the Virgin, the Long Hours of the Cross, the Hours of the Holy Spirit, the Hours of Eternal Wisdom, the Office of the Dead and the Seven Penitential Psalms, including a litany) and some other suffrages and prayers. However, with regards to the decoration program, the present manuscript is notorious, as it was a yet unrecorded example of a manuscript illuminated by one of the Masters of the Dark Eyes, more specific the Master of the Brussels Hours of the Bezborodko Group. Many thanks to dr. Klara Broekhuijsen for conforming this and for providing us the material to study this manuscript in relation to other manuscripts of the Bezborodko Group.The Masters of the Dark Eyes are considered to be the "most important and most prolific illuminators working in the County of Holland" (Broekhuijsen, Masters and miniatures) and were named after their most prominent feature: the heavy shadows around the eyes of their figures. They were responsible for the illumination of many works of which an unusually large number of over seventy manuscripts are left and they are known for the lavishness and extent of their decoration programmes. On stylistic grounds, the Masters of the Dark Eyes are divided into seven groups, all flourishing between ca. 1490-1510, of which one is called the Bezborodko Group, "the best among the Masters of the Dark Eyes in terms of quality" (Broekhuijsen, Masters and miniatures). Features of the Bezborodko Group are a refined use of colour, their specific border decoration (acanthus leaves in various colours, flowers and fabulous beasts with gold or black dots among them, leaving the bare vellum visible) and moreover their use of engravings and woodcuts as models for the compositions of their miniatures.In the Bezborodko Group we distinguish two painters: the Master of the Bezborodko Hours and the Master of the Brussels Hours. The decoration program of this book of hours is an outstanding example of the work of the Master of the Brussels Hours. Differences between both Bezborodko Masters come out in the first place in their use of colour. The Master of the Brussels Hours has a preference for more dark reds and blues in the draperies of figures and in the border decoration instead of the softer colours (pink, yellow, pale blue) of the Master of the Bezborodko Hours. The border decoration in this manuscript show especially many vivid red and blue and especially the draperies of the figures in the miniatures are almost all painted in a dark deep blue. Another feature of the way they shape their figures in the miniatures. The figures as painted by the Master of the Brussels Hours are somewhat taller, slender and more elegant with finer faces, more pointed chins (especially for women) and sharper contours in contrast to the figures of the Master of the Bezborodko Hours, which have more thickset, compact forms with rounder faces. In the present manuscript the figures all have pointed chins. When we compare the compositions in the present book of hours with those in other manuscripts illuminated by the Master of the Brussels Hours, we find almost one-to-one matches in the decoration program.The present manuscript is the earliest dated example of a book of hours illuminated by the Master of the Brussels Hours, being signed 1488. Five other manuscripts of the Bezborodko Group are dated (two date from 1489, one from 1490, two from 1491). It is quite hard to say precisely where the manuscript must have been made, as it is for almost every manuscript illuminated by the Masters of the Dark Eyes, but we can assume that the present book of hours is illuminated in the former County of Holland. The present manuscript was long time unrecorded as a manuscript illuminated by one of the Masters of the Dark Eyes because it circulated for years in private collections. We know that the manuscript was formerly part of the library of the Old Catholic Clergy of Sts. Gummarus and Pancratius in Enkhuizen (based upon the 19th-century inscription on the verso of the front endpaper). In May 1909 the manuscript was at auction (Frederik Muller, nr. 814) and again a year later, on 16-17 June 1910 (nr. 1736), where it was bought by the jurist W.H. Köhler, living in Maarssen. The manuscript was sold again on auction at Van Huffelen on 7 February 1946, where it was bought by W.A. Hofman. From then on, the present manuscript remained family property, obtained by the current owner by inheritance.Binding slightly worn and professionally restored around the spine. Fastenings (2) and 1 anchor plate lost. Some marginal dust-soiling of the leaves, some marginal spots and stains, a few very minor marginal tears (never affecting the miniatures or text), two small wormholes in the last quire (not affecting the text) and some more worming on the last endpaper, endpapers browned and chipped, a few marginal creases, some miniatures, initials and border decoration show signs of wear, but overall the book of hours, being a beautiful and curious example of book illumination by one of the Masters of the Dark Eyes, is still in good condition.l The description made by Willem de Vreese of the present manuscript can be found in the Bibliotheca Neerlandica Manuscripta, 856. For the Masters of the Dark Eyes and the Brezborodko group: Klara H. Broekhuijsen, The Masters of the Da.

Añadir al carrito112 pages of well executed hand-illumination given as a gift for a first communion of Rita and Yvonne Lauranceau on 24 June, 1894. These 'wedding books' were sold with printed text and borders, designed by Mlle. A. Rabeau. Subsequently the plain, printed pages were all illuminated in colour including silver and gold by the owner… or someone commissioned to do so by the owner in this case by Charles Defrance in 1883 according to a note on the verso of the title. Inserted loose is the illuminated first communion notice handpainted and written on vellum. Pp. viii, 107. 8vo., beautifully bound in full tan calf, both boards with borders of gilt tooled blue and red morocco and two further gilt tooled borders, spine in compartments with raised bands, gilt lettering in the second panel and the others with two gilt fillets and gold tooled design, turn-ins with elaborate gilt border, ivory silk endleaves, all edges gilt. Some rubbing to spine and corners but generally a handsome copy. A lavish, excellently hand-illuminated book, usually prepared as a wedding gift but here clearly intended to be presented at the first communion of Rita and Yvonne Lauranceau in 1894. All we know about them is that their father, Andre Lauranceau, was a prefect in Northern France. Also inserted loose in the book is a card for the pilgrimage to Lourdes dated in ink 29th August 1903.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. (ARGENTINA IIlluminated Viceregal Fiscal Manuscript on paper in superb calligraphy executed in 3 different coloured inks. Buenos Aires, 1797. Small folio. 1 blank leaf + [22]p + 2 blank leaves + [12]p. With 2 illuminated calligraphic title-pages…, first title with arms of Buenos Aires in tailend section, a variety of exquisite floral and animal ornamentation on titles and in 21 headings, including six charming landscape vignettes with graphic representations of local topography, decorative initials. Text ruled in 9 columns, one of which represents cattle-brand marks; line borders in red throughout. Calf folder. Outstanding Spanish American manuscript of extraordinary quality and rarity executed in the best tradition of Spanish calligraphy in an excellent state of preservation. Comprising detailed government reports on fiscal contributions for the year 1797 from estancias (farms) and pulperias (general store owners) in the districts and villages in the vicinity of Buenos Aires, capital of the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, in the closing years of the 18th century. The alcavala (or alcabala) of the title was a Spanish sales tax applicable to all property contracts. In the register the farm is numbered, and the table provides the name of the owner, the amount of their livestock (cattle, sheep, mules) the individual brand mark, the farm s location and its distance in relation to nearby estates. The final column lists the tax paid in pesos. Among owners some 25 women are named. Three notes in the addenda of the first report, list: firstly, eight individuals who could not be found on their farms as they were in Buenos Aires (their head of cattle is noticeably high); secondly, a further eight assessed (owning even larger numbers of cattle, though brand marks are not given), whose owners were not to be found (all are of noble origin and were possibly in Spain). The first section is signed by the assessor, Vicente Benito Cretel. He points out that the sum total of cattle here listed comprises bulls, steers, cows, oxen and other pasture animals, but it is only the second category (steers, nobillos) sold for the provision of supplies (hides, meat etc) which are liable for the tax. The second report lists some 115 pulperos (general store owners) liable to pay the tax. The headings of each of these are of particular iconographic interest for the delicately painted landscape vignettes which are among the earliest known graphic representations of the local topography and its flora and fauna. Each of the two reports is signed by the government official Don Vicente Benito Cretel and dated respectively 17th March and 30th April 1797. Cretel features in a list of 23 patriotic citizens who were granted the title ciudadanos americanos de la Provincias Unidad for donations towards the cause of liberty (Gazeta Ministerial del Gobierno de Buenos Ayres, No 10, 12 de Agosto de 1812, p40). Notable throughout is the high quality of the calligraphy, and its experimental variations. On the last page, each of the final ten lines of the document is written and illuminated in a different style of calligraphy, including one line in mirror writing. A highly important social document of the period, and a most exquisitely presented visual record. The vital importance to the economy and predominant position of the cattle industry to Argentina is reflected in the guild of cattle breeders and farmers being admitted by 1797 to the Consulado, the Chamber of Commerce (founded 1794), which stipulated customs revenues. John Lynch, 'Spanish Colonial adminsitration, 1782-1810. The Intendant System in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata', University of London, Athlone Press, 1958.

The leaf features 69 gilt initials with embellished pen-work, 2 of them larger with blue backgrounds and the rest smaller with beige or dark brown (matching text ink) backgrounds, with some additional red lettering and the heading "Psalms." 4 pp. Fine vellu…m; some initials faintly faded with gilt and colors otherwise bright and text clear. Fine. Although not fully translated, this signature was likely once part of a psalter. It features part of a litany from the Book of Hoursâ"Psalm 70 in its entirety, moving into a call-and-response from with red letters marking the call v. the response, beginning with "V: Salvos fac servos tuos" and cutting off at "R: aeternam dona eis. . ." Due to the structure of books, the page opposite the beginning of this litany is not the page that should numerically follow it were it still bound, and so it is broken early. The leaf also features almost all of Psalm 37," ending with "Qui retribuunt mala pro. . .".

Extremely rare, finely printed and beautifully illuminated book of hours, finely printed on good quality vellum with the cuts beautifully illuminated in gold and colour in a ;rectangular format. The illuminator has not simply coloured the cuts beneath but has freely painted over them or extended the painting of the figures beyond the original borders. Books of hours were used by individuals at home rather than in church. A calendar was attached to the front so that memorial days of the saints could be identified. They were typically structured around the hourly prayers observed in monasteries and Catholics would recite the appropriate liturgy eight times a day. These books served as symbols of status and and were often luxurious items, gifts given on important occasions."An important point to notice in connection with the illustrations of French 'Books of Hours' at this time is that they are nearly all inspired by German artists and nearly all copied from illuminated MSS." Joseph Cundall. 'A Brief History of Wood engraving.' The Hardouin's workshop dominated the market of printed books of hours, in Paris between 1510 and 1550. Gillet Hardouin worked primarily as a printer, between 1500 and 1542, and German Hardouin was registered in the Guild of Illuminators. They were the only editors capable of both printing and illumination without commissioning other professionals. They often used fine, densely ornamented metal cut borders, however they had gone out of fashion by the time this vol was produced, which gives this volume a much cleaner and clearer style. Here borders have been added but have been freely painted in the margins over gilt grounds. The quality of their work is remarkable. It seems that they produced books of hours in various formats.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Dust Jacket Included. A BEAUTIFULLY BOUND 17TH CENTURY ALBUM OF A NOBLE GERMAN FAMILY Book size: 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" Painting size: 2 1/2" x 2 1/4" circa 17th century This fascinating book from 17th-century Germany depicts several generations of the Barth von und zu Eurasburg family, prominent German nobility in Bavaria.…As indicated in their surname, this noble family lived in a castle in Eurasburg, a municipality in Oberbayern (Upper Bavaria) that sits about 40 kilometers south of the Bavarian state capital, Munich. On thirteen of the books pages, small paintings on vellum modeled after large-scale portraits are affixed, capturing the images of relatives. Each painting has been executed with utmost skill and detail, from the tiny hairs on a fur wrap to the meticulously applied goldleaf of a brocade jacket. All of the portraits are similarly formal in appearance. Clues to the vocation of each person are apparent, such as the priests' collar and rosary of one man, and the sumptuous garb of a wealthy burgher of another. In each painting, the family's coat of arms hovers just above the left or right shoulder of the subject, contrasting with the identical cream colored background. Around the time this family album of sorts was created in 1623, the Bavarian duke replaced his relative, the Count Palatine of the Rhine in the early days of the Thirty Years' War and acquired the powerful prince-electoral dignity in the Holy Roman Empire, determining its Emperor thence forward, as well as special legal status under the empire's laws. Also the Upper Palatinate was reunited with Bavaria. The ambitions of the Bavarian prince electors led to several wars with Austria during the early-18th century.
