Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. Book Club Edition. THE VISCONTI HOURS MILLARD MEISS & EDITH W. KIRSCH 1972 128 FULL COLOR ILLUMINATED PLATES. Having just listed a book about Persian Painting I could not help but note the similarities with another book of illuminated iconography. Please find: The Visconti Hours from the National Library of Florence by Millard Meiss and Edith W. Kirsch. This medium-sized hard cover book in its slipcase (7 ½ x 10 ½ inches 262 pages) was published by George Braziller of New York dated 1972 and an apparent First Edition. This is my first time seeing this book so as usual I went to Wikipedia to find out more; I quote a small part of what they wrote here below (with my thanks and occasional contribution): The Hours of Giangaleazzo Visconti (Florence, Biblioteca Nazionale, Banco Rari 397 and Landau-Finaly 22) is a Roman-liturgy, illuminated Book of Hours in Latin, which was commissioned by the ruler of Milan, Gian Galeazzo Visconti, in Italy in the late 14th century. A Book of Hours is a personal prayer book that contains, in part, the Hours of the Virgin, a daily devotional that was popular at the time. This particular Book of Hours was created by two master illuminators, beginning with Giovannino dei Grassi before his death, and completed by Luchino Belbello de Pavia. The Visconti Hours is a classic example of the personal prayer books of the period, which were generally made for wealthy lay persons. It is lavishly illustrated throughout with 128 full-color reproductions of the original. There is a good deal of scholarly text explaining the background to these works of art. Condition: This book is in near fine condition. The cardboard slipcase is a bit dust-dulled and slightly bumped with a tiny bit of foxing on the rear label. It is, however, still sound and sturdy. The hard covers have some very minor bumping to the corners and lower spine tip and a tiny scrap on the front. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages and plates clean and bright throughout without toning or foxing of any kind. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 4to (28.5 cm), XVI, 116 pp, 107 figures on unnumbered plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "In-depth study of several illuminated manuscripts commissioned by a major 14th-century Italian patron of art and learning. Edith Kirsch reveals how a group of manuscripts commissioned by Giangaleazzo Visconti reflect not only his dynastic concerns but also the development of his inclination to express these concerns through works of art establishing both his classical heroism and his Christian piety. Considered as a group for the first time, these manuscripts document one of Giangaleazzo's most innovative activities as a manuscript collector-the commissioning of lavish manuscripts to commemorate major dynastic events. In their richness and in the extraordinary verisimilitude and historical specificity of their decoration, these manuscripts document the self-image of a prince who set out to record his unprecedented accomplishments in unprecedented fashion. Like his politics, however, Giangaleazzo's patronage of the arts was shaped by the practices of his ancestors, and his accomplishments as a patron are best understood in the context of family tradition." (from the blurb).…
