Catholic Church, Colines, Simon de, 1480?-1546, printer, Tory, Geoffroy, approximately 1480-approximately 1533, Perrins, Charles William Dyson, 1864-1958, former owner · 1525 · Parisiis : Apud Simonem Colinaeum · 8 pictures

A 1525 Paris book of hours printed by Simon de Colines for lay devotional use, with Latin prayers set in black letter and red rubrics. Its pages carry framed woodcut scenes with a border of ornamental vines, pilasters, and small figures, and the woodcuts show a rider on horseback, a seated banquet, a kneeling figure beside a tower, and a group of robed men in an arched room. A designer could take the strict framing of each picture, the arch-and-column architecture, and the decorative marginal scrollwork as models for layout.
