[BOOK OF HOURS] Hore intemerate virginis marie secudu[ndum] usum romanum cum pluribus orationibus tam gallico et in latino. [Book of Hours, use of Rome]. Paris: Thielman Kerver, May 8, 1501. 17th-century red-brown morocco gilt, fore-edge clasps; housed in a modern book-form case 8 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches (21.5 x 13.75 cm); A-L8, i.e. 96 ff., printed on fine vellum, 29 lines, text ruled in pale red; the printer's unicorn device on the title, fifteen metalcut illustrations, borders throughout, and the anatomical man on A1v; small initials (one and two-line), line fillers etc. illuminated in shell gold and red or blue throughout. Light wear to the binding, the ring of one catch defective, but a clean, fresh example, small bibliographical note in ink on front free endpaper. Though no bookplate is present, this appears to have been the copy of F. S. Ellis, Morris's friend, editor, and occasional publisher, who was an antiquarian of note. Ellis edited the Kelmscott Press Psalmi Penitentiales and numerous other works of the Press. A copy of his work "A Bibliographical Reverie" is laid in to the case here, which publication includes a brief bibliographical description of what appears to be (from the binding described) this very copy, and an extensive and delightful poem that (at 200-plus lines) approaches a bibliographical description in and of itself. "When this fair volume issued forth From Thielman Kerver's press, One wonders what eyes first admired Its gothic graciousness..."No condition report?
