Ines Nettekoven (Der Meister des Apokalipsenrose der Sainte-Chapelle und die Pariser Buchkunst um 1500, Turnhout, 2004, Abb. 158-176) names the artist after the stained glass windows in the Rose de la sainte Chapelle, and attributes numerous engravings to him, including the series for Simon Vostre. Vostre. N. Reynaud (Les manuscrits à peintures en France 1440-1520, Cat. Expo. BNF Oct. 1993 - Jan. 1994, pp. 265-270) prefers the name Maître des Très Petites Heures d'Anne de Bretagne from the BNF manuscript (Paris, NAL 3120).

Antique borders, Apocalypse (d1v to e7), Triumphs of Caesar (a'3v-e'1). These last two series come from the in 8° series by Jean Pichore. Most of the large engravings are from the edition by Jean Pichore et Rémy de Laistre in 4° dated April 5, 1504 (Tenschert vol. 2, no. 92), with the exception of David and Uriah (l.8) and Job visited by his friends (h.8), St. Anne Trinitaire (e'4v), which can be found in the Hours in 8° of September 24, 1504 (C. Zöhl, Jean Pichore : Buchmaller, Graphiker und Verleger in Paris um 1500, Turnhout, 2004, Abb. 99-130, p. 162-176). Vostre used them around 1505-1508 (Zöhl, p. 22-25).

Alexander fell from his horse on his way home from Reading and was rendered tetraplegic. He was rescued and taken home. That night, with his solicitors (Blandy & Blandy) peremptorily summoned, and only hours before his impending death, he changed his will to cut out other nephews and leave everything to Catherine's son (whom she had with foresight christened Alexander Cobham Martyr), on condition that the boy changed his surname to Cobham. This he did, together with his parents, and thus did Miss Cobham/Mrs Martyr become Mrs. Cobham, and Alexander Cobham Martyr become Alexander Cobham Cobham, great great grandfather of William PalmerPlease note, Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (Ref: FNANYYUS) Please note, Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (Ref:9ZNXQFSS)
