There is in the text 21 figures, 6 more than in the one from 1497, and we notice among them the Tree of Jesse, the Combat where Uric was killed, the Last Judgment and the Mass of S. Gregory. Several of these ancient subjects have been remade after new drawings better than the first ones. On the borderpieces that are also beautifuk, we notice the theological and cardinal Virtues, the life of J.-C. and the Virgin Mary, Suzanne, the Child Prodigy, les 15 Signs, 48 subjects of the Dance of Death, and several repeated ornaments. There are copies that only contain 18 large plates. The subjects of the Danse of the dead occupy the eight ll. of the quire f. A copy on vellum is preserved in the cabinet of Mr. Didot; this is perhaps the same that has been sold 399 fr. The Prévost, in 1857; another one is located at the imperial Library. » (Brunet, V, 1582-1583). Soon after Udalric Gering and his two associates introduced in Paris the miraculous invention of Gutenberg, perfected by Fust and Schoyffer and thus made the composter regularity and the economical speed of the press succeed to the ever so slow, unprecised, and above all expensive work of the scribes and rubricators, the booksellers of the capital thought to exploit to their profit an art that, by simplifying in a so sensitive way the fabrication of books, was offering them an harvest as abundant as easy to collect. As they were first looking to apply the typography to fast flowing works, it seems like they should have begin with these prayers books used by the devotees of all classes, that they printed later under the title Horæ and Officium, or even Heures and Office, that were incarnating since a long time the main branch of their activity; but difficulty came and delayed for a while the printing of this type of works. Prayer books that were then used were all written on vellum, decorated with initials painted in gold and in colours, and almost all of them were also supplemented with more or less numerous and more or less well executed miniatures. For the calendar, there were small subjects delightfully painted, where were represented works, occupations and games related to every month of the year; for the moveable feasts and the liturgy of deaths, were larger miniatures representing subjects drawn from the Holy Scripture, or related to the mystery celebrated, or to the life of the invoked saint; we could almost always see represented there, for example,the Martyr of St John the Evangelist, the Angelus, the Nativity of Jesus-Christ, the Sheperds Vision, the Adoration of the Magi, the Flight into Egypt, the Massacre of the innocentsdes ordered by Herode, David and Batsheba, etc. We also noticed in some of these precious manuscripts some more or less varied borderpieces, more or less rich, framing all of the pages, and that were usually offering flowers, birds, insects and gracious arabesques, where gold was skilfully married to brighter colours. Those rich volumes were considered rightfully as prized jewels, and were transmitted by succession in families, generation after generation. Being used then to read Hours in such illustrated books, how could we have welcomed simple typographical productions entirely depraved of these ornaments necessary for all pious reading? To succeed in this type of craftsmanship, it was needed then to use the help of woodcut that was then being perfected, and to reproduce as much as possible the drawings spreaded out in the manuscript Hours, and to illustrate the prints with those. If until now the bibliographers couldn't agree on the real date of the most ancient illustrated Book of Hours produced on press, they usuallly recognize however that the printer Philippe Pigouchet and the bookseller Simon Vostre were the firsts in Paris who knew how to combine with success engraving with typography. We can believe that those two booksellers already practiced woodcut themselves, and that they knew how to join forces with skilled tailors in order to give to their small woodcuts the degree of perfection that they perfected. It is then to anonymous artists from the end of the 15th century, and not, as pretended Papillon, to Mercure Jollat, appeared thirty years later, that we must give credit for the main part of the engraving of those Hours so remarkable by the beauty of its vellum, the quality of its inking, and above all the variery of its borderpieces, where pleasing arabesques, singular grotesque subjects, alternatively succeed with hunts, games, subjects drawn from Holy Scripture, or even secular history and mythology, and at last with those dances of dead, imitated from the men and women dance of death, which was then in vogue, small compositions whose spicy expression can be admired. These borders, which, as can be judged from the specimens placed around these pages, are more remarkable for the finish of the engraving than for the design, consisted of small compartments which were divided, changed, and reunited at will, according to the size and format of the volume in which they were to appear; so that, while almost always using the same parts, it was nevertheless so easy to give the different editions published an appearance of variety, that one can hardly find two that reproduce themselves exactly page by page. The large plates intended to receive the embellishment of the painting are generally less finished than the small ones, but one always recognises the same workmanship. Let's hear now an English bibl.
