Pierre Coton - L'Office de la Vierge Marie pour tous les temps de l'année - 1619

French Book of Hours, dated 1619

An antique French religious book dating from the early 17th century, associated with the Catholic devotional tradition of the period. This volume is presented as a Book of Hours, a type of prayer book traditionally used for daily private devotion.

The book contains Latin religious texts and is described as featuring copperplate engravings, devotional imagery and text printed in red and black. These elements reflect the visual character of early modern European religious publishing.

The volume is particularly notable for its brown Morocco leather binding, described by the seller as an early binding with elaborate gilt tooling and decorative details. The combination of its age, religious subject matter and ornamental leatherwork makes it an interesting addition to a collection of antique books and historical bindings.
