[Horae ad usum Romanum. Lat. et fr. :] Heures à l’usaige de Romme

1505 · Guillaume Anabat pour Gilles et Germain Hardouin · 66 pictures

This is a 1505 French Book of Hours in Latin and French, printed in Paris by Guillaume Anabat for the Hardouin brothers, Gilles and Germain, for lay devotional use. The pages pair Latin and French text with woodcut border frames, small historiated initials and framed scenes of saints, angels and biblical events. A designer could draw on the dense Gothic foliage borders, the compact framed vignettes, and the mix of black-letter type with woodcut ornament.
