[Book of Hours Leaf] . Superb vellum leaf from this important transitional period when books began to be printed from movable type, decorated with metal-cut illustrations and combined with hand-painted illuminated initials.

The text on both recto and verso has an ornamental border depicting mythical animals, a hunting scene, a man and a woman harvesting apples using a stick, among others. The text on the recto is from the psalms; beginning with the large capital ""L"" on the recto is Psalm 150: Laudate dominum in sanctis eius laudate eum in firmamento virtutis eius (Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens).Thielman Kerver was a printer in Paris, who worked ""in vico sancti Iacobi ad signum Vnicornis & ibidem venales habent"" (in Saint Jacob`s lane under the sign of the Unicorn where they are also for sale). He began printing Books of Hours in 1497 and continued until his death in 1522. His widow, Iolande Bonhomme, took over the firm, and continued to produce liturgical books until 1556. Kerver`s work is much less common than that of his colleagues, Simon Vostre and the Hardouins. Light toning and minor soiling. 3.6"" W x 5.5"" H . Kerver, Thielman . 1505
