Manuscrits, Fac-similé Livres d'Heures d'Isabelle la Catholique. Facsimile Testimonio Editorial, Madrid / Biblioteca Rara, Münster Verlag Bibliotheca Sacra, s.d. In-8° : 368 pp. enluminées (sans le fascicule d'appareil critique). Rel. d'édition : plein cuir noir, plats couverts de 12 cabochons en métal doré avec armoires centrales idem et peintes, dos à nerfs surmontés d'éléments de métal doré, gardes de tissu bleu. Dans un coffret in-4° en velours bleu doublé de toile satinée jaune paille. Fac-similé du "Livre d'heures dit d'Isabelle la Catholique". Enluminé par Willem Vrelant, miniaturiste originaire de Utrecht, installé à Bruges, ce manuscrit en écriture gothique méridionale est considéré, à juste titre, comme une des oeuvres majeures du XVe siècle finissant dans nos régions (ca. 1468). La légende raconte que l'or utilisé pour les décors de la reliure du codex, attribuée jadis à Benvenuto Cellini, aurait été ramené du Nouveau Monde, découvert peu de temps auparavant. Le manuscrit a probablement été commandé par Juana Enriquez, reine d'Aragon qui l'offrit à son fils Ferdinand et sa femme la reine d'Espagne, Isabelle la Catholique. Le manuscrit passa ensuite dans la bibliothèque de leur fille Jeanne la Folle. Il comporte pas moins de 72 miniatures à pleine page, 12 miniatures de petit format dans le calendrier et de multiples bordures marginales où alternent les acanthes de couleurs, les éléments figurés et les motifs floraux et végétaux stylisés, abondamment enrichis d'or à la feuille. Conservé à la Biblioteca del Palacio de Madrid, le manuscrit original n'est plus montré au public qu'en de très rares occasions. Il n'avait jamais été reproduit dans son entièreté avant la publication du présent fac-similé. 200 Euros
