HORAE, use of Rome, in Latin and French. Hore beate Marie virginis secundum usum Romanum totaliter ad longum sine require Cum multis suffragiis & orationib' de nouo additis. Paris: Germain Hardouin, [ca 1528].
8o (166 x 104 mm). PRINTED ON VELLUM. Collation: A-K M8. 87 leaves (of 88, lacking G3). Roman type, ILLUMINATED AND COLORED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND IN GOLD AND COLORS: 15 (of 16) large, 19 (of 20) smaller metalcuts, and publisher's device, metalcut Anatomical Man surrounded by 4 small metalcuts, gilt architectural frame to pages with large miniatures, ink-ruled frame with painted floral border on gold ground to other pages, liquid gold initials on blue or red ground. (Small miniature cut from M6, the leaf mended and text supplied in manuscript, small stain to lower outer corner to leaves at end.)
Green stained and gold sprinkled calf by Bozérian (some wear to spine and edges). Provenance: A. Brölemann (bookplate); William Hartmann Woodin (bookplate); Avalon, PA The Library of Franciscan Fathers (ink stamp on title and two other places); acquired from Goodspeed's Book Shop, 1970.
The almanac (A4v) for the years 1528-1545. Although Fairfax Murray described a copy of this edition, unusual by having painted, not metalcut, borders, he did not enumerate the cuts, perhaps owing to their invisibility beneath heavy overpainting. They clearly differ from Hardouin's previous sets, and, while following a similar cycle of subjects, they add cuts for the Agony in the Garden, Adam and Eve, the Virgin in a mandorla, and Job on his dungheap. In spite of the break in collation, the table of contents makes it clear that the book is complete without quire L. Fairfax Murray French 274.
