- [LIVRE D\'HEURES - ENLUMINURES] Fragments recto verso des heures de la Vierge à l\'usage de Rome/Dié(?)

fin XVe- début XVIe s. | 12.20 x 16.70 cm | feuillet sur parchemin fin XVe- début XVIe s. | 12.20 x 16.70 cm | feuillet sur parchemin | Fragments recto verso d\'un livre d\'heures manuscrit sur parchemin avec encadrements somptueusement enluminés à pleine page. Cette division en compartiments des ornements est représentative de la production des ateliers rouennais et parisiens au tournant du XVIe siècle. Deux pages enluminées sur un feuillet recto verso : encadrement est divisé en bandeaux ornés de motifs floraux et rinceaux, lettrines dorées peintes de rouge et bleu alternés et rubriques. La richesse de l\'enluminure caractérise ces livres liturgiques destinés aux laïcs. Les livres d\'heures étaient à l\'époque des bijoux de piété, à la fois un instrument de la pratique religieuse et une revendication sociale affirmée par la richesse du travail des artistes. Véritable petit tableau, ce feuillet est extrait probablement d\'un luxueux volume où chaque page était soigneusement peinte. On retrouve ici un fragment des heures de la Vierge entre la fin de l\'office de none et le début des vêpres. Malgré l\'antienne ""Missus est"", différente de l\'usage classique du rituel romain, on retrouve à la suite le psaume huit habituel : ""Dixit dominus..."". Cette antienne se retrouve plutôt dans la liturgie du diocèse de Die, mais avec l\'annonce de la rubrique précédant les vêpres, on peut supposer un usage mineur romain.  Ecriture dite cursiva libraria sur des longues lignes. Témoin de la formalisation de l\'écriture cursive à l\'aube de la Renaissance française, cette écriture est emblématique de la production des copistes français pour les laïcs durant la période. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Recto verso fragments of a manuscript Book of Hours on parchment with sumptuously illuminated full-page borders. This compartmentalized division of ornaments is representative of the production of Rouen and Parisian workshops at the turn of the 16th century. Two illuminated pages on a recto verso leaf: the border is divided into bands decorated with floral motifs and leafy designs, gilt initials painted in alternating red and blue and rubriques. The richness of the illumination characterizes these liturgical books intended for laypeople. Books of Hours were at the time jewels of piety, both an instrument of religious practice and a social claim affirmed by the richness of the artists\' work. A veritable small painting, this leaf is probably extracted from a luxurious volume where each page was carefully painted. Here we find a fragment of the Hours of the Virgin between the end of the office of none and the beginning of vespers. Despite the antiphon ""Missus est"", different from the classical usage of the Roman ritual, we find following it the usual psalm eight: ""Dixit dominus..."". This antiphon is found rather in the liturgy of the diocese of Die, but with the announcement of the rubric preceding vespers, we can suppose a minor Roman usage. Writing called cursiva libraria on long lines. Witness to the formalization of cursive writing at the dawn of the French Renaissance, this writing is emblematic of the production of French copyists for laypeople during the period. *
