HORAE, use of Rome, in Latin. Hore dive virginis Marie secuNdum usum Romanum cum aliis multis folio sequenti notates unacum figuris Apocalipsis & multis figuris Biblie nouiter insertis. Paris: Gilles Hardouin for Germain Hardouin, [ca 1510].
8o (180 x 110 mm). PRINTED ON VELLUM. Collation: A-N8 O4. 108 leaves. Printed in red and black. Roman type, ruled in red. Hardouin's centaur device on title, metalcut Anatomical Man surrounded by 4 small metal cuts, large device with the arms of Portugal on verso of last leaf, 16 large metalcuts and 27 small metalcuts, full multi-part historiated and ornamental border on each page, initials and line-filler in liquid gold on red or blue ground. (Title soiled.) Late 16th-century dark brown morocco, gilt fillet border around a central gilt oval cartouche of interlaced scroll-work (some light wear to extremities). Provenance: Nicolas Bartonne(?) (his birth recorded for 8 September 1520 "viii jour septembre mil. cv xx et iour de nostredame Nasquit Nicolas Bartonne mon filliol" [8 Sept. is the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary]; Ysabel Carriere (?) 1520 (signed prayer to St. Martin); Nicholas Robo? (A prayer to Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary, signed and dated "xiii no[vem]bris 15[6?]3."); Aphrod[ise] Boyer (18/19th century ownership inscription); Frank L. Crocker and Katherine A. Parker (their sale, Anderson Gallery New York, 15 March 1929, lot 122, pencil note on endpaper); acquired from Bernard Quaritch, 1986.
The almanac (A2v) for the years 1511-1530. The colophon is undated. The large armorial device on verso of last leaf, attributed to Hardouyn by Silvestre and Renouard, is possibly a version of the arms of Portugal (see Fairfax Murray French 273). The illumination of this copy, presumably carried out in Hardouin's atelier, is finely executed. Brunet V: Heures, 235.
