reliure Heures Romaines, with figures by Queyroy, gilt edges, Lesort binding

Description

This volume features a copy of the *Heures Romaines*, a manuscript or printed book of hours from the 16th or 17th century, a liturgical genre used for prayer and divine office according to the Roman rite. The binding, attributed to the Parisian binder Lesort, is executed in a sober and elegant style, characteristic of French craftsmanship of the period. The gilt edges, crafted by Queyroy—a signature of a specialist in decorated edges—add significant aesthetic and technical value to this work. The condition, not specified here, would need to be verified to fully appreciate the integrity of this book of hours, whose bibliophilic interest lies as much in its spiritual content as in its refined material presentation.
