[ANTIFONARIO] DE BRUGIS, Francesco (XV secolo). Antiphonarium. Venezia: Giunta, 1503 [WITH:]

Psalterium nocturnum ac diurnum. Venice: Giunta, 1505. Two illustrated post-incunabula in contemporary bindings, among the largest books at the time, with illuminated initials engraved from drawings by the celebrated Venetian miniaturist and georgrapher Benedetto Bordone (1450-1531), Although missing a number of pages of text, these two works are extremely scarce on the market and are the most complete sets to have appeared to date (RBH). The binding is very similar to that of the exemplars in the Biblioteca Marciana, suggesting that they were produced on the instructions of the publisher himself. The Antiphonary and the Psalter, edited by Francesco de Brugis, constitute the first major editions of Roman antiphonaries and became a model for all subsequent editions. 2 works in 4 volumes, atlas folio, (555 x 370mm). First work: 2 volumes; vol. I: ff. 1-189 (lacking ff. 190-199); vol. II: ff. 200-228, 230-287 (lacking ff. 229, 287-325, [1] ); Second work: 2 volumes, vol. I: ff. 1 ; 176 (lacking ff. 177, 178 ); vol. II: ff. 179-189, 195 ; 317 (lacking ff. 190 ; 194; without ff. 287 ; 294, omitted as an editorial error as in the register and in OPAC SBN). 6 large engraved initials in the first work and 15 in the second by Benedetto Bordone, text printed in red and black on strong paper (some light marginal waterstaining, small chips to margins of the first and last few leaves). Contemporary bindings in red calf over wooden boards (two volumes with large losses to boards due to worming; chipped, ties lacking). (4)
