Paris, 1907 Le roman de Fauvel, de François de Rues et Chaillou de Pestain, dont la première partie date de 1310 et la deuxième de 1314, est une satire violente contre toutes les classes de la Société, dans un cadre allégorique assez original. Fauvel est un cheval, qui symbolise la vanité humaine. Il est de couleur fauve, symbole de la vanité. Fauvel signifie donc Flatterie, Avarice, Vilenie, Variété, Envie, Lâcheté (dont les premières lettres forment le mot Fauvel). Ce roman dans lequel se trouvent intercalés des Ballades, des Rondeaux, des Motets et des Lais, avec la notation musicale, n'a pas encore été édité ni étudié. Une notice sur le roman par Gaston Paris se trouve dans le tome XXXII de l'Histoire Littéraire de la France. Le manuscrit que nous reproduisons est justement célèbre. Il est le seul qui contienne les interpolations lyriques du Roman. Il est orné de 78 miniatures et constitue une des plus belles oeuvres de l'Ecole française des Miniaturistes au XIVe siècle.

Subscription Price for the complete work cloth, £5. net half morocco, £6. 6s. net The first edition of the Imperial Gazetteer of India was published in nine volumes in 1881. A second edition, augmented to fourteen volumes, was issued in the years 1885-7. A revised form of the article on India, greatly enlarged and brought up to date, appeared in 1893, under the title of "The Indian Empire: Its Peoples, History, and Products." All of these were edited by the late Sir W. W. Hunter, K.C.S.I., whose untimely death in 1900 has deprived the present edition of the advantages of his ripe experience and literary skill. The second edition having passed for some time out of print, it was resolved by the Government of India that a new edition should be prepared in connection with the Census of 1901. The changes, however, that have been introduced, both in the general scheme and in the methods of compilation, may justify its being considered as a new work rather than a new edition. The bulk will be raised from fourteen to twenty-six volumes, including a COMPANION ATLAS; and the single volume of "The Indian Empire" has been expanded into four volumes, entitled respectively "Descriptive," " Historical," Economic," and "Administrative." A new map of India, on a large scale, is also prefixed to each volume. The four volumes, forming "The Indian Empire," by Sir William Hunter, may each be obtained separately, in cloth, at 68.; or, in half morocco, at 7s. 6d. The Atlas may also be obtained separately at 15s. in cloth; and in half morocco at 17s. 6d. Roy. 8vo., with illustrations; sewed, 16s. TO THE HISTORY OF CHINESE PICTORIAL ART BY HERBERT A.

The same, bound in handsome leather with brass ornaments, the binding reproduced from a design of Dürer's Subscription price, £26. 5s. (Three copies were printed on vellum, of which one is still to be obtained at the price of £250). 350 numbered copies have been printed for sale, a portion of which have already been subscribed for. From March 15th, 1908, the above prices will be raised by an additional £3. 15s. The printed vellum volume known under the title of The Prayer Book of the Emperor Maximilian I., is preserved partly in the Royal State Library in Munich and partly in the Municipal Library at Besançon. The fragment at Munich is adorned with borders drawn by Albrecht Dürer and Lucas Cranach, while the designs in the portion at Besançon were executed by Albrecht Altdorfer (?), Hans Baldung, Jörg Breu, Hans Burgkmair, and Hans Dürer. Unfortunately one or two of the sheets of the Besançon portion have been lost, but it has been possible to complete the text from the non-illustrated copies in the British Museum and other collections. Attention has already been drawn to the artistic value of the Munich portion by Joachim von Sandrart, and the borders designed and drawn by Dürer became generally known by the lithographs published in 1808 with the title Albrecht Dürer's Christlich-Mythologische Handzeichnungen. They have since then been repeatedly brought before the public, with and without the enframed text. The best of these reproductions, carried out by Georg Hirth in 1883, includes the designs by Cranach, which were first made known in 1818, but without the text. But in all cases these editions leave much to be desired in their completeness as well as in fidelity to the original The fragment preserved at Besançon was first brought to light in 1879, and its connection with the Munich volume was recognised by Adolf Bayersdorfer. But, with the exception of a few very meagre reproductions published by Chmelarz in 1885, this portion has never become generally known. In order to make this unique Book of Prayers universally and worthily known, the editor has devoted the work of ten years and a considerable sum of money, and has endeavoured to attain a faithful facsimile which shall not only contain all the drawings, even to the smallest pencil stroke, of both portions, but also many unornamented pages, taken from the copy at Vienna. After trial of many methods, photogravure proved the most capable of reproducing most clearly the faded drawings of the original. Everything, even to the smallest detail, is here reproduced in colours, and even the paper presents the appearance, both in colour and transparency, of the vellum on which the original was printed and drawn. The work consists of an introduction and 324 photogravures in 4-11 colours (27-8 by 19 cm.). These form a sewn volume and are enclosed in a box covered with buckram. If desired the work can be obtained handsomely bound in leather with brass ornaments, the whole copied from a Dürer design. A description of the binding will be sent if required. After March 15th, 1908, the subscription price will be raised to £25 unbound and £30 bound. The work cannot be reprinted. G. NORMAN AND SON, PRINTERS, FLORAL STREET, COVENT GARDEN, LONDON |
