Description

Facsimile edition by Moleiro publishing house, corresponding to the original held at the National Library of Russia, Saint Petersburg (signature: Lat. Q.v.I.126), and dated 1490 (15th century).

The illumination of this small manuscript, the work of Jean Colombe and his workshop, is truly exceptional, both for its elaborate illustrative concept, rich and varied, something rarely found in books of hours, and for its sumptuous floral margins.

Facsimile bound in maroon velvet (we are giving away a pair of white gloves to prevent the velvet from fading), 16.5 x 22.5 cm, gilt edges. 230 pages, 90 miniatures with rich marginal ornamentation.
Presented in a leather case with a ribbed and gilt spine, 19 x 25.5 x 4.5 cm.

Limited edition of 987 numbered and notarized copies.

Fully illustrated in color, this monographic study book by Ana Domínguez Rodríguez (Complutense University of Madrid) and Carlos Miranda García (PhD in History). Hardcover with illustrated dust jacket and ribbon insert, 25 x 33 cm. 320 pages with 289 illustrations. Bilingual texts in Spanish and English.
