Binding is quite edgeworn and scuffed (mainly at spine and corners) yet strong-hinged; original decorative pastedown portions of endpapers present and nice, with front/r…ear flyleaf portions lacking; most of text block tight and attractive, with first half dozen numbered leaves showing early paper mends to bottom and outer margins; lacks eight leaves (1-2, 15-16, 19-20, 21-22, 23-24, 25-26, 27-28, 29-30); 19th c. bookplate of Dominican academy on front pastedown and miniscule inkstamped convent at bottom of title page. A decent and quite handleable copy, entirely in Latin and printed in black and red, of this (roughly translated) "Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary According to the Rite of the Sacred Order of the Friars Preachers" -- a Catholic devotional book devoted to Mary and shorter version of the "Divine Office," with daily prayers, scripture, psalms, hymns and other readings. This particular version is connected to Baltasar de Quiñones (1733-98), a Dominican cleric from Spain named Master of the Order of Preachers (1777-98). Despite flaws, a presentable example in original binding.

Provenance: Horace de Landau (1824-1904), bookplate, shelfmark no 47854; Vicomte de Cossette, armorial bookplate.*** A rococo binding on a luxuriously printed and illustrated Office of the Virgin, from the Salvioni press, official printers to the Vatican. The Salvioni press used several workshops, sometimes collectively mislabeled as the "Vatican" or "Salvioni" bindery. Those bound for the papal library were finely executed, and different binderies can be identified by their tools, color of leather, and stylistic details. The present pretty but crowded binding decor, with its in places overlapping tooling, does not seem to belong to the corpus of binderies represented in, for example, the Vatican Library's 1977 exhibit catalogue of papal bindings. Stylistically it uses types of tools and decoration - the wide "Louis XV" style border, and the basketweave cornerpieces - in vogue during the reigns of Clement XIV (1769-1774) and Pius VI (1775-1799). Its decoration is similar, for example, to binding no. 262 in Legature papali, but it is of inferior workmanship, and does not use the same tools. It was probably produced in a Roman shop executing many commissions and forced to work quickly, although it could even be a provincial binding. Cf. Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Legature papali da Eugenio IV a Paolo VI, no. 262, plate CXCI.

Provenance: with Gumuchian, Catalogue XII/1930/225; Maurice Burrus, bookplate, purchased from Gumuchian in 1934, purchase notes at end. Astriking rococo binding, in fine condition, on a luxuriously printed and illustrated Office of the Virgin, from the official Vatican press. From the mid- to late eighteenth century, the Salvioni press used one or more bookbinding workshops that produced finely gold-tooled bindings for their Vatican publications. Although often referred to as the ?Salvioni bindery,? this appellation is circumstantial: ?the Salvioni firm was responsible for promoting the bindings, but it is not known which workshop produced them? (British Library Database of Bookbindings). Some of these ?Vatican? bindings incorporated variously colored or mottled leather. This example, with its basketweave cartouches, relies purely on tooling for its effect. An example evidently from the same workshop, on a book printed at Rome in 1791 by Salomini, using analogous cartouches as corner-pieces as well as a similar ?spiraling? border design and some of the same leafy spray and star tools, is reproduced in Legature papali, no. 264. ?Whereas the . more flamboyant bindings produced by the Salvioni Bindery rely frequently on polychrome enamel heightening, these Vatican bindings strike a somewhat more sober note with their very fine dark-red morocco and rich gold-tooling of high quality? (Martin Breslauer, Catalogue 107/428). Gumuchian, Catalogue de Reliures du XVe au XIXe siecle, no. 225, plate 68. Cf. British Library Database of Bookbindings, Shelfmark c27e18; For other ?Salvioni? bindings see Miner / Walters Art Gallery, The History of Bookbinding, no. 523; Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Legature papali da Eugenio IV a Paolo VI, no. 264, plate CXCIII.

Contact seller3-star seller165 x 115 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 1/2"). Single column, verso with 18 lines, in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, one three-line initial in blue filled with foliage on burnished gold ground, verso with panel border of colorful flowers, a vase, and acanthus, recto with A MINIATURE OF THE VIRGIN AND CHILD flanked by two angels, framed by… gold and painted bars on three sides and A FULL BORDER of acanthus, flowers, a vase, and gold bezants. Minor soiling to vellum, but in excellent condition, the miniature especially well preserved. This especially intimate and tender scene shows the so-called Virgo Lactans (or Nursing Madonna), the Virgin suckling the infant Christ; it accompanies the text for "Obsecro te," a popular Marian prayer appealing to the Virgin for protection and intercession. The prayer is not always accompanied by a miniature, and the present illustration, being rather large and skillfully done, is a particularly appealing example. The Virgin's facial features are especially excellent, with beautiful molding and shading that give her visage deep complexity and emotional resonance. The use of gold in this miniature adds to its richness; delicately highlighted garments, tresses, and angel wings catch the light and seem to shimmer as one moves the page. The high-quality illumination, liberal use of gold, and robust borders all suggest that the original manuscript must have been the product of an accomplished workshop.

Rubrics in red, line fillers in blue and pink with gold bezant, six one-line initials in burnished gold on pink and blue ground, two two-line initials in blue on gold ground with a flower in the center, one three-line initial in blue filled with ivy o…n gold ground, verso with panel border of colorful flowers and acanthus, recto with A LARGE ARCH-TOPPED MINIATURE OF THE CORONATION OF THE VIRGIN with an "L" shaped frame of burnished gold and painted flowers, and A FULL BORDER of acanthus, flowers, a man playing a bagpipe, and a hybrid creature wearing a hat, all on a painted gold ground. Very minor wrinkling to vellum, but the leaf IN LOVELY CONDITION, with the gold everywhere gleaming brightly. From a luxuriously appointed Book of Hours, this leaf features a handsome miniature of the Coronation of the Virgin attributed 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. Executed with imagination and delicacy, the miniature features the traditional subject associated with the hour of Compline, showing the Virgin being crowned Queen of Heaven, following her Death and Assumption. The composition here is quite intimate, with the Virgin kneeling before her son as she accepts, with humility, the crown he lays upon her head. Christ is depicted barefoot and slightly bowed toward his mother in a gentle display of respect. The artist creates a wonderful backdrop for this scene, composed entirely of seraphim painted gold, blue, light pink, and green, closely packed together. Two of the seraphim hold up light pink draperies behind the central figures, as if to shield this tender moment from prying eyes. The borders here are a source of delight, featuring a figure wearing a jester-like cap and playing the bagpipe as well as a creature with the body of a bird and the face of a human, donning a rather fashionable bycocket cap. The illumination here is of high quality, features a liberal use of gold, and contains unique marginal details, suggesting that the original manuscript must have been a costly commission for a wealthy patron.
