Boule.

Binding with plate stamp, signed André Boule. Paris c. 1500-1530 Loose front and back covers of the same book, size 8°. Approx. 18 x 11.5 cm. Blindstamped calf with plates, some holes (from bindings) (some min. def. or tiny holes). Good impression of the boards. Beautiful, decorated French Renaissance binding by the Parisian bookseller and bookbinder André Boule (c. 1500-1530). Like all Boule bindings, the front (120 x 82 mm) shows St. Sebastian tied to a stake, his hands above his head, an archer on each side, above him two angels wearing a crown. Surrounded by a decorated border with vines, animals and foliage and the name of the bookbinder "ANDRI BOVLE" in the lower margin. As Goldschmidt quotes Gruel, "this is the most frequent, but also one of the most beautiful French plate marks". The reverse (133 x 92 mm) shows the crucifixion with St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Catherine of Siena as well as the bookbinder's name in the lower margin. Surrounded by a decorated border with acorns, vines and animals. The edge outside the panels is decorated with fillets and a floral scroll stamp. Ref.
