Language of Commentary: German. ABOUT THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT. Made in France around 1510, the Barberini Book of Hours for Rouen is a colorful and multifaceted example of private devotional book decorated in a style between late Gothic and northern Renaissance. Its over 100 parchment folios boast 17 full-page miniatures, 44 illuminated scenes, and almost 200 borders glowing with the most exquisite floral and architectural motifs. The Latin codex, penned in Gothic bastard script, contains a book of hours in the use of Rome and a calendar for Rouen written in French. The illuminators merged old French tradition with new inspiration imported from Italy, as well as Flemish influences, which is visible especially in the borders, so colorful and filled with such intensely depicted flowers that one would think it possible to pick them from the page. All borders are adorned in multiple styles ranging from late Gothic – geometric shapes filled with crosses, hearts, and fleur-de-lis – to Renaissance – architecture elements, fountains, heads. Marvelously decorated initials enriched with gold leaf and outlined in black on intense blue ground mark the beginning of psalms, readings, and prayers. The rubrics, also penned in blue, and the sepia brown text, enhance the folios’ elegance, together with innumerable line-fillers decorated in blue, brown, and burnished gold. Some of the decorated initials are large and feature flower and acanthus motifs. When the library was included in the Vatican Library, the Book of Hours was added to its collection.

Bridget Collins The Binding & The Betrayals NEW Signed/#249 HC/DJ Goldsboro

Bridget Collins The Binding & The Betrayals NEW Signed/#249 HC/DJ Goldsboro

Bridget Collins “The Binding” & “The Betrayals”. Brand New Copies (never read). Hardcover/Dust Jacket in Mylar protective cover. Goldsboro Exclusive Limited Editions. Matching #249/250 for The Binding, #249/750 for The Betrayals. Digital Pattern Sprayed Front Edges (The Betrayals). Excellent new copies of these two books from Goldsboro. Books are dangerous things in Collins’s alternate universe, a place vaguely reminiscent of 19th-century England. It’s a world in which people visit book binders to rid themselves of painful or treacherous memories. Once their stories have been told and are bound between the pages of a book, the slate is wiped clean and their memories lose the power to hurt or haunt them. After having suffered some sort of mental collapse and no longer able to keep up with his farm chores, Emmett Farmer is sent to the workshop of one such binder to live and work as her apprentice. Leaving behind home and family, Emmett slowly regains his health while learning the binding trade. He is forbidden to enter the locked room where books are stored, so he spends many months marbling end pages, tooling leather book covers, and gilding edges. But his curiosity is piqued by the people who come and go from the inner sanctum, and the arrival of the lordly Lucian Darnay, with whom he senses a connection, changes everything. If everything in your life was based on a lie. Would you risk it all to tell the truth? At Montverre, an exclusive academy tucked away in the mountains, the best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu: an arcane and mysterious contest. Léo Martin was once a student there, but lost his passion for the grand jeu following a violent tragedy. Montverre has changed since he studied there, even allowing a woman, Claire Dryden, to serve in the grand jeu’s highest office of Magister Ludi. When Léo first sees Claire he senses an odd connection with her, though he’s sure they have never met before. Both Léo and Claire have built their lives on lies. And as the legendary Midsummer Game, the climax of the year, draws closer, secrets are whispering in the walls.

Penitential prayer book Limited Edition Facsimile, Fine Binding

Penitential prayer book by Albrecht Glockendon for Johann II von Pfalz-Simmern – Limited Edition Facsimile, Fine Binding. Published 2010 by Faksimile Verlag – Lucerne, in a limited edition of 980 (this copy is number 640). Facsimile reproduction of the entire original document that is as accurate as possible (size, format, color). 52 pages / 13.8 × 9.9 cm. As with many medieval manuscripts, the original binding has not been preserved. Probably in the 18th century, the work was bound in dark brown leather, which was imitated for the facsimile edition. Gold embossing was applied to the front and back. The book block has a gold edge on three sides. A hand-stitched headband adorns the head and foot section of the book. Commentary volume by Ulrich Merkl (Language: German). Together presented in a beautiful leather case made of brown cowhide, with a window. The penitential prayer book by Albrecht Glockendon for Johann II von Pfalz-Simmern is a special gem from the genre of hourly or devotional book. It arose in the transitional period between the Middle Ages and modern times, and is one of the last highlights of book illumination before the triumph of printing. The text focuses primarily on the biblical story of David and Bathsheba, chronicling the events from the fall of the Israelite king to his redemption through repentance. It is adorned with 9 large miniatures, some taking up a whole page, and 19 ornate initials. The Old Testament story is brought into the Renaissance by depicting the figures in 16th-century fashion and architectural settings. The illuminator Albrecht Glockendon was one of two famous sons of the progenitor of the Glockendon dynasty, Georg Glockendon the Elder. Albrecht was an experienced and talented illuminator who very consciously created his own unmistakable style, presumably to set himself apart from his brother Nikolaus. In a courageous act, he dispensed with the realistic effects that were customary at the time, deliberately opting for the opposite, namely reduction and abstraction, supported by extraordinary colour effects. Nevertheless, he commissioned one of the last truly masterful illuminated manuscripts as a gift for his youngest son, which was created around 1532/33.
