150012054Tours 1500. 19th-century blind-ruled crushed green morocco Niédrée; hinges slightly cracked at top and bottom gilt-lettered spine title all edges gilt green silk marker. <p> THIS ELEGANT TRILINGUAL PRIVATE DEVOTIONAL WAS PREPARED FOR A HIGH-RANKING FRENCH MILITARY OFFICIAL likely a participant in the Italian Wars of 1494-1512. An identical suite of prayers appears in a manuscript Morgan M.292 made for maréchal de France Pierre de Rohan-Gié 1450-1513 who campaigned in Italy with Charles VIII and Louis XII.<br /> Our anthology is centered on the faithful's plea for military success and protection against the dangers of war. The opening prayers in French are rich in chivalric imagery. Next is an uncommon extended version of the Latin Abbreviated Psalter a series of extracts from the Psalms compiled for soldiers and others unable to recite the full daily Office. The texts that follow include a Latin prayer for victory in battle the placeholder n stands in for the name of the supplicant and unusually the long pseudo-Augustinian Prayer for the Troubled in its Italian version.<br /> This last concludes the work of the first scribe who in line with the contemporary trends of luxury manuscript production at Tours adopted a peculiar rounded bâtarde. His hand's nod to the shapes of humanistic Antiqua doesn't mitigate the striking mismatch of language and script in the italian prayer.<br /> In Latin the Gospel readings on the Passion occupy the second half of the manuscript executed in a more traditional hand by a second scribe. attractive uniform decoration unifies our intriguing manuscript. In very good condition.<br /> ¶Salmon "Psautiers abrégés du moyen âge" in Analecta liturgica 1974 80; Cottier "Psautiers abrégés et prières privées durant le haut Moyen Âge" in Recherches Augustiniennes 33 2003 215-30; Avril & Reynaud Les Manuscrits à peintures en France 165 173 & 177.<br /> <br /> </p> <br /> <p>Prayer Book in French Latin and Italian. <br /> TEXTS & ILLUSTRATIONS </p> <br /> <p>I.
