LES TRÈS BELLES HEURES DE NOTRE-DAME DU DUC JEAN DE BERRY.
by Comte Durrieu
Jean, Duc de Berry, was a notable art patron who commissioned the Très riches heures, one of the most famous illuminated Book of Hours (a liturgical book containing prayers said by the laity at each canonical hour of the day). This beautifully crafted book contains detailed descriptions and histories of his collections of manuscripts and paintings. Text is in French. Includes 30 full-page, black-and-white plates, all printed on recto. Black leather spine, marbled covers and endpapers, gilded top edge, ribbon marker, deckled pages. Some wear on edges and bumping on corners.
