Description:
Very Good +; the volume, bound in imitation vellum with gold stamping, is in Near Fine condition with no marks or damage of any kind, but the decorated slipcase has a wrinkle at the bottom, although it is not torn or cut, and is solid. This is the first edition of George Braziller's elegant reproduction of Catherine's famous Hours, one of the true masterpieces of illumination to survive from the 15th century. The Hours were commissioned for the marriage of Catherine, Duchess of Guelders and Countess of Zutphen (1417-1479), upon the occasion of her marriage to Arnold, Duke of Guelders, on 26 January 1430. The original work was probably completed about 1440. Dr. John Plummer, Curator of Medieval Manuscripts at the Morgan Library, where the manuscript is housed, wrote the introduction and commentaries.
