The Prayer Book of Charles the Bold (Getty Distribution): A Study of a Flemish Masterpiece from the Burgundian Court (Getty Publications –) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In January 1469, the accounts of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy (reigned 1467-77) record a payment to the noted scribe Nicolas Spierinc 'for having written...some prayers for my lord.' Seven months later, the same accounts record a payment to the illuminator Lievin van Lathern for twenty-five miniatures plus borders and decorated initials in the same manuscript.In this seminal study, the late Antoine de Schryver - an internationally renowned art historian - presents a thoroughly researched and balanced argument suggesting that the documents refer to the exquisite prayer book of Charles the Bold which can now be found in the collection of the J. Getty Museum.

Hardcover. burgundy cloth boards w/ white spine printing. 310 pgs w/ primarily bw illustrations, select color. glossy burgundy dustjacket w/ color illustrations, orange printing. "In January of 1469 the accounts of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy record a payment to the scribe Nicolas Spierinc "for having written . some prayers for my lord." Seven months later the same accounts record a payment to the illuminator Lievin van Lathem for twenty-five miniatures plus borders and decorated initials in the same manuscript. In this thorough study, the late professor Antoine de Schryver presents a carefully reasoned argument that the documents refer to the exquisite prayer book of Charles the Bold now in the J. Paul Getty Museum. De Schryver's in-depth research opens a window onto the careers of the beloved van Lathem, who served three rulers of the Burgundian Netherlands over forty years, and of Nicolas Spierinc, the most inventive and brilliant scribe of Charles's court. This volume reproduces all of the book's miniatures and some of its elegant calligraphic pages."--Jacket.
