‎Charmant petit livre d'heures destiné aux jeunes chrétien contenant l'Ordre de la Messe et divers services en français ainsi que des hymnes et prières en latin. Ce minuscule se termine par le service du mariage, plutôt que par le service des morts, comme c'était la coutume dans les anciens livres d'heures. Lillustration se compose dun titre gravé et cinq planches, la plus charmante montrant David dansant et jouant de la harpe, alors qu'il dirige la procession de l'Arche. On peut aussi y apercevoir la Sainte-Vierge entourée de deux anges. Le début et la fin de louvrage sont annotés à lencre. Ces annotations sont des prières: une prière pour une communion au début de louvrage et deux prières destinés aux parents défunts à la fin. Bel exemplaire. 1 vol. in-24° (68 x 46 mm.) of : [1] f. ; 128 pp. ; 5 engraved plates. Annotations in black ink at the beginning and in-fine. Cardboard covered with long grain morocco imitation paper. Charming little book of hours for young Christians containing the Order of the Mass and various services in French as well as hymns and prayers in Latin. This tiny book ends with the wedding service, rather than the service for the dead, as was the custom in the old Books of Hours. The illustration consists of an engraved title and five plates, the most charming showing David dancing and playing the harp as he leads the Ark procession. The Blessed Virgin surrounded by two angels can also be seen. The beginning and the end of the work are annotated in ink. These annotations are prayers: a prayer for communion at the beginning of the work and two prayers for the deceased parents at the end. Nice copy.‎
