Beschreibung

8vo manuscript book, Hardbound in marbled boards, black cloth spine. Twenty-six sides on laid paper showing laid and chain lines. Title page in black in, capitalised in red. Manuscript commences on page 3 with "Ebles de Rouci", 1021-1033, but numbered "42". This numbering continues to the final entry no.101 "Benoit Marie Langenieux" 1874. Arms are all black and white, very carefully delineated and with up to four per page. The front hinge is weak but not detached and there is faint evidence that some early blanks have been removed. The Title Page is the first page seen by the reader on opening the manuscript. An early catalogue clipping is tipped in "Item 65. Heraldic Manuscript, Blazon of the Artbishops of Rheims, by Gustave A Bouvier 1887. 8vo, 26 sides, many ink drawn arms". As far as we can see, never published. Similar manuscript material by this author held in The Victoria and Albert Museum. Further Jpg images with pleasure. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003793
