Notes
Likely a second edition of RELICS 3849, which this book matches in collation and foliation, and whose title/colophon is almost completely identical. The chief difference apparent to immediate analysis is that the almanach of this book (leaf AD2r) covers 1507-1520, while the earlier one has an almanac for 1500-1520.
Contains (leaf AD2r): Almanach pour .xiiii. ans. (leaf BD8r): Hore intemerate virginis marie secundum usum Romane curie incipiunt feliciter. (leaf PD3v): Sensuit la table de ces p[re]sentes heures Et premiereme[n]t.
Colophon (leaf 116v): A la louenge de dieu & de la tres glorieuse vierge marie: et de monseigneur sainct Iehan leuangeliste. Et a ledificacion de tous vrays catholicques. Ces presentes heures a lusaige de Romme tout au long sans rie[n]s requerir avec les figures de la vie de lhomme: et la destruction de Hierusalem ensemble. Et pareilleme[n]t les figures de lapocalipse: & plusieurs autres belles hystoires faictes a la mode de ytalie. Ont este nouvelleme[n]t Imprimees a Paris par Guillaume Anabat Imprimeur demoura[n]t en la rue sainct Ieha[n] de Beauvais a lenseigne des Co[n]nis pres les gra[n]des escolles de decret. Pour Gillet Hardouyn libraire demoura[n]t au bout du pont au cha[n]ge a lenseigne de la Rose. Et pour Germain Hardouyn libraire demourant deuant le Palays entre les deux portes a lymaige saincte Marguerite. Tout pour le mieulx.
Printing date inferred from the almanac.
For collation, see Morgan cat., v. 3.
Renouard identifies two variants of this book, A and B, which are textually identical. Version B is distinguished by large borders which contain the "Dance of Death" sequence and two woodcuts without borders: the Arrest of Christ (leaf BD3, missigned BD2), and the Annunciation (leaf CD1), which resemble the fourth series of woodcuts from Simon Vostre's Hours rather than the third, as would normally be the case.
Gilles Hardouin's device on t.p., which is enclosed in a portico-design, as is the anatomical man on the t.p. verso. 29 lines of text per page. 19 full-page woodcuts, including the controversial illustration of the Flagellation (see RELICS 3849). Compartmental borders on every leaf.
Without music.
Almanac for the years 1507-1520.
Initials supplied in red, blue and gold.
