DAS STUNDENBUCH DER SFORZA. THE SFORZA HOURS

ST12210Lucerne: Faksimile Verlag 1993. No. 195 OF 980 COPIES. 206 x 168 mm. 8 1/8 x 6 5/8". Four volumes each with separate volume of commentary in English and German. With commentary by Mark L. Evans. Publisher's red velvet flat spine two silver gilt clasps each volume housed in a matching velvet box with the commentary volume in paper wrapper gilt coat of arms on upper cover of each box. With 138 borders and 48 miniatures by Birago and two borders and 16 miniatures by Horenbout. ◆In mint condition. This is a very fine facsimile of a Renaissance Book of Hours with an intriguing history and decoration by two different and distinguished illuminators one Italian and the other Flemish. The Sforza Hours was originally commissioned from Italian miniaturist Giovan Pietro Birago fl. 1471-1513 by Bona Sforza wife of the Duke of Milan around 1490. A surviving letter from Birago to an unknown nobleman complains that part of the manuscript was stolen by an unscrupulous "Fra Jacopo" and demands restitution in the enormous amount of 500 ducats. No one knows if Birago was ever reimbursed for his loss but the duchess bequeathed the partial manuscript to her nephew's wife Margaret of Austria. In 1506 Margaret daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor moved to the Netherlands where she served as Regent for the future Charles V until his coronation in 1520. In 1517 she set about completing the Sforza Hours hiring scribe Etienne de Lale to provide the missing text pages and illuminator Gerard Horenbout ca. 1465-1541 to paint miniatures and two borders. Horenbout had produced the miniatures in the Breviary of Eleanor of Portugal and those in the Hours of James IV of Scotland. He also briefly worked as painter in the court of Henry VIII. Horenbout included a small portrait of Charles V in one of the borders here leading art historians to believe that Margaret gave the book to the emperor to commemorate his coronation. The manuscript resurfaced in Madrid in 1871; it was purchased by an Englishman and was donated to the British Library by a later owner. As noted in the library's online exhibit of the work "The manuscript is outstanding for its rich decorative scheme and an unusually high number of its text pages have minutely detailed borders initials and vignettes in deep blues greens and rich reds to complement the many full-page miniatures.".

BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED THROUGHOUT: with many ornamental initials elaborate floral extensions and partial borders a tondo miniature at the foot of each calendar page seven historiated initials with full borders and five full-page miniatures each by a different Italian master. ◆In mint condition. This sophisticated Book of Hours was produced in 1503 at the behest of Bonaparte Ghislieri a member of an important Bolognese family. In commissioning it Ghislieri wanted to bring together several of the most famous artists of the period each of whom was called upon to create a full-page miniature. The intention was to offer a sort of miniature anthology of the best that the Bologna school of illumination could produce at the time. Consequently we see a succession of works by: Amico Aspertini Adoration of the Shepherds Lorenzo Costa King David and his Lyre Il Francia Francesco Raibolini Saint Jerome Matteo da Milano Annunciation and Perugino St. Sebastian. This last is the only miniature ever painted by Raphael's teacher. Bologna was also the home of the scribe Pierantonio Sallando who taught grammar at the University of Bologna and was to become a famous professor of writing. The codex passed from the Ghislieris to the Albani family of Urbino where it is documented in the 18th century; the following century it reached England where it was purchased by Henry Yates Thompson in 1897. Since 1941 it has been kept in the British Library. Franco Cosimo Panini unknown

2007ST17769gGütersloh/Munich: Coron Exclusiv Facsimile Publishing 2007. No. 66 OF 980 COPIES. 197 x 140 mm. 7 3/4 x 5 1/2". 235 leaves. Without the commentary volume in German. Publisher's replica calf covers richly decorated in gold in a Renaissance strapwork and foliate style raised bands spine panels gilt with central trefoil all edges gilt. Housed in the original very attractive brown leather jewel case with a gilt and enamel crest on upper lid. LAVISHLY ILLUMINATED with more than 1200 one- or two-line initials in colors and gold; with dozens of leaves featuring panel borders of swirling blue and gold acanthus leaves and multi-colored flowers and berries; with calendar leaves highlighted by full floral borders the rectos with a small arch-topped miniature of the labor of the month the versos with the zodiacal sign; and with 17 FULL-PAGE MINIATURES ACCOMPANIED BY FULL BORDERS of foliage and flowers inhabited by insects snails dogs unicorns and grotesques. ◆In mint condition. This is a beautifully produced facsimile of one of the crown jewels in the collection of the Russian State Library a 15th century Parisian Book of Hours with especially striking miniatures in the style of Van Eyck. Among these are featured the four Evangelists Mark unusually painting an icon of the Virgin the Virgin and Child with two angels the Annunciation Visitation Nativity Annunciation to the Shepherds Presentation Coronation of the Virgin King David the Garden of Gethsemane Christ before Pilate Pentecost Christ and the Apostles appearing to the patron of this manuscript and a bloody beheading of St. Barbara. The action and detail in these scenes are remarkable. In the Annunciation to the Shepherds for example we see not the usual half dozen sheep with a couple of dazed keepers but a huge flock of white and black sheep guarded by five men and one woman gazing in shock at the Heavenly Host appearing in a gold and orange sunburst above. One of the herders seems so rattled by the experience that he is swigging from a skin of wine. The patron who commissioned this manuscript is shown in his miniature clad in armor kneeling at a prie-dieu his helmet topped with a unicorn's head by his side. He was likely a member of the Burgundian court whose support for the illuminators of Paris resulted in many of the most beautiful 15th century Books of Hours.
