THE ADORATION OF THE MAGI, miniature on a leaf from a Book of Hours, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on vellum [northern France, Paris, c .1415-20] A charming example of early 15th-century Parisian illumination. 160 x 115mm. 15 lines of text on the reverse with two smaller but similar initials with floral extensions into border (tiny chips and small areas of cockling). Gilt double-sided frame. This striking miniature comes from an early 15th-century Book of Hours by a skilled follower of the Boucicaut Master, the leading commercial artist of Paris at the beginning of the 15th century. He takes his name from the Book of Hours in the Musée Jacquemart-André, made for Jean de Boucicaut, marshal of France. Another leaf from this manuscript is recorded in the Jeanne Miles Blackburn collection (catalogued by S.N. Fliegel, 1999, no 25, and purchased from Ferrini; now in Cleveland Museum of Art).
