Item Details

Description

Leaf from a Book of Hours, Use of Paris, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on parchment [northern France (probably Paris), c. 1500]

Single leaf, in notably long and tall format, with single column of 34 lines of a rounded and angular late gothic bookhand (with Vespers of the Office of the Dead, only 19 similar lines on verso), one-line initials in liquid gold on blue or brown-burgundy, line-fillers in same, 2-line initials in white woody sprigs on dull-gold grounds, text borders of dull-gold bars, those of outer vertical margins and bas-de-page on both sides containing scenes of (i) a hunt, with a white hound startling a deer from the bushes in a wide open landscape with a medieval town in the background, (ii) two monkeys loading barrels onto river barges in a canal, as another already in a barge used to support the gang plank plays a musical instrument, other barrels in the foreground and storehouses in background, (iii) a bird and a rabbit next to a fruit tree, and (iv) another monkey wandering through a grassy landscape towards a building, raising something (probably fruit) to his nose to sniff, as another monkey peeps at him from a tree, and a large butterfly clings to the top of a bush behind him, small details of these scenes heightened with liquid gold, small chips and smudges in places, slight darkening to outer edges of leaf, else in excellent condition, 230 by 148mm.

From the collection of Roger Martin (1939-2020) of Grimsby.

This leaf comes from a richly decorated codex belonging to a small group of extra-illustrated Books of Hours produced around 1500 by a group of Parisian artists. What is most remarkable here are the monkeys, 'apeing' human behaviour, such as loading barrels into barges and strolling in the countryside, for comic effect. See also next lot.
