MANUSCRIPT] Book of Hours. [Paris?]: [second or third quarter of the sixteenth century]. Disbound. 4 inches (10 cm). Approximately 320 leaves on uterine vellum. The text is written in a fine batarde hand, with numerous historiated initials in laid gold, red and blue throughout, leaves numbered throughout in red. The last three pages, originally blank, have been completed with prayers written out in a seventeenth century hand. The calendar lacks the first six months, and begins in July. There are several hiatuses in the main text, likely due to missing miniatures. Still, a manuscript of some quality; the text-hand is elegant. The last few quires exhibit chewing to the upper margin. Sold not subject to return. Estate of Anton Schutz
