BOOK OF HOURS, use of Rome, in Latin and Dutch, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM
[southern Netherlands, c.1460]
172 x 124mm. 1-26, 38(lacking inserted leaf before f.16), 44, 5-98(probably lacking inserted leaf before f.25), 102, 118(probably lacking inserted leaf before f.67), 128(lacking inserted leaf before f.80), 13-148, 154, 16-178, 186, text complete, likely the lacking inserted leaves had miniatures or prints, possibly lacking a further inserted leaf before f.13, 17 lines in black ink in a gothic bookhand between two verticals and 18 horizontals ruled in red, rubrics in red, text capitals touched yellow, ff.13-15 touched in gold, one- and two-line initials of burnished gold with grounds and infills of blue and red with white filigree decoration, every page with a two-line initial with a border in right margin with a bar of gold, pink and blue the height of the text and panels of hairline sprays with golden trefoils and flowerheads in top and bottom margins, four-line initials of blue with white penwork against grounds of burnished gold with ivy-leaf sprays of pink, blue and orange in the infills accompany TWELVE FULL-PAGE BORDERS with baguettes and marginal sprays of coloured acanthus, naturalistic flowers and hairline tendrils with golden trefoils and flowerheads, gilt edges (some spotting and darkening of vellum, slight smudging of a few borders). Spanish 16th-century panelled tan calf gilt with corner arabesques and armorial centrepiece with the arms of Philip II of Spain (remboîtage, rebacked, corners rubbed, upper joint split, lacking clasps).
PROVENANCE:
1. The combination of the liturgical use of Rome with a Latin text and Dutch rubrics indicates a likely origin in the Flemish-speaking parts of the southern Netherlands: this is consistent with the style of decoration. St Winnoc, who is included in red in the Calendar (6 November), became a monk at Sithiu and was later abbot at Wormhoult near Dunkirk.
2. An early owner clearly had very bad teeth: twice, in the same late 15th- or early 16th-century hand prayers are written to Saint Apollonia -- whose martyrdom included having her teeth broken -- asking for her intercession against toothache.
3. By the second quarter of the 16th century the manuscript seems to have been in Germany: a partially erased ownership inscription at the foot of f.1 names 'Leonardus Krumer' and 'Werd... Danuvin...', most probably Donauwörth in Bavaria and gives the date 1525.
4. The armorial binding must once have been on a book in the library of Philip II of Spain. It shows the form of the royal arms before the acquisition of Portugal in 1581: Guigard, Armorial du bibliophile, i, pp.75-76.
CONTENT:
Calendar ff.1-12; Short Hours of the Cross ff.13-15v; Mass of the Virgin ff.16-24v; Office of the Virgin ff.25-66v: matins f.25, lauds f.33v, prime f.42v, terce f.46, sext f.50, none f.53, vespers f.56v, compline f.62v; Seven Penitential Psalms and Litany ff.67-79v; Office of the Dead ff. 80-102v; added Suffrages and Prayers ff.103-118; added Prayers in another hand ff.119-124v.
ILLUMINATION:
These colourful borders are localisable to the southern Netherlands during the third quarter of the 15th century. The rich saturated hues and angular contours distinguish them from the more commonly encountered products of the book trade in Bruges.
