Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. 293pp., (v) (blanks), + 45 black and white illustrations at end. Bound in original blue cloth, with slight faded gilt lettering to spine and front cover, though all words can still easily be read. The front cover admits to several small stains, along with general light wear, mild soiling, and a little sunning. None of this is terribly offensive, but is obvious wear. Hinges a little tender, with short tears to paper at gutter. Minor dings to extremities of pages. Faint ink-stamps to interior. Overall, this copy is still a good, sound, user friendly copy.…

Roma, 1928, 4to stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 325/332 con 3 figure e 4 illustrazioni fotografiche. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !!

163 x 115 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 1/2"). Single column, 18 lines in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, line fillers in blue and pink with gold bezant, five one-line initials in burnished gold on pink and blue ground, one two-line initial in blue on gold ground with a flower in the center, one three-line initial in blue filled with ivy on gold ground, recto with panel border of colorful flowers and acanthus, verso with A LARGE ARCH-TOPPED MINIATURE OF THE ADORATION OF THE MAGI with an "L" shaped bar of burnished gold and painted flowers, and A FULL BORDER of acanthus, flowers, a small stoat, and hybrid creature, all on a painted gold ground. Vellum a little wrinkled, small tear on fore edge (just touching border), paint showing light rubbing and a few minor imperfections, but in very nice condition overall, quite fresh, and with no major condition issues. From what was a refined Book of Hours, this leaf features a charming and accomplished miniature attributable to the workshop of Jean Pichore (fl. ca. 1502-20), a major figure among illuminators of the period and one of the most sought-after artists in France at the turn of the 16th century. The artist depicts the traditional subject associated with the hour of Sext, the Adoration of the Magi, in which the three wise men, all expensively dressed in ermine, blue, and gold, lavish the newly born Christ Child with exotic gifts carried in golden vessels. The composition is notable for its intimacy, favoring a tightly framed scene focused on human interaction and the wonder of the moment. The faces are skillfully individuated and carefully molded, with great care going into the Virgin's visage in particular. The borders here are also a source of delight, featuring a small stoat and a hybrid creature hidden among the exuberant acanthus and flowers. Craning their necks around in the direction of the Christ Child, they seem to take the place of the usual barnyard animals often seen poking their heads over a fence or through a window in other "Magi" compositions. All of these indications of sophistication suggest that the original manuscript must have been commissioned by a patron able to pay a substantial amount for the work of a well-established atelier.…
