Manuscrits, Fac-similé Les Heures noires. MS M.493 The Pierpont Morgan Library New York. Commentaire Bernard Bousmanne; Description codicologique William M. Voelkle. Luzern, Faksimile Verlag, ( 2001). 2 vol. petit in-8° : [124] ff. pour le ms. + 1 cahier de commentaires. Rel. d'édition : plein velours noir, le fac-similé avec cabochons et fermoir métallique doré. Sous étui commun en plexiglas transparent. Reproduction du célèbre "Livre d'heures noir" conservé à la Pierpont Morgan Library. Les manuscrits sur parchemin, teintés de couleur noire et copiés en lettres d'or et d'argent, sont extrêmement rares. Outre les "Heures" de New York, seuls 2 codices complets, les "Basses Danses de Marguerite d'Autriche" (Brux., KBR) et les "Heures Sforza" (Vienne, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek), ainsi que qqs fragments ont survécu aux aléas de l'histoire... mais plus pour très longtemps sans doute car la teinture noire appliquée dans la masse a provoqué au cours des siècles un phénomène, lent mais irréversible, d'auto-destruction.Illustré de 14 miniatures à pleine page et de très nombreuses décorations marginales, le manuscrit original, un livre d'heures à l'usage de Rome en écriture gothique textuelle, provenant des Pays-Bas méridionaux (Bruges, ca. 1475), est attribué à un artiste anonyme : le Maître des Heures de New York, proche de Willem Vrelant et de l'entourage de Philippe de Mazerolles, 2 des principaux enlumineurs des Pays-Bas méridionaux. Certaines bordures rappellent par ailleurs le style de Liévin Van Lathem, autre miniaturiste en vogue du mécénat des ducs de Bourgogne. Le fac-similé, sous emboîtage, est accompagné d'un volume de commentaires par Bernard Bouslmanne, conservateur du Cabinet des Manuscrits à la Bibl. Royale de Bruxelles.Ce type d'ouvrage est extrêmement cher à l'achat. 500 Euros
