Rothschild Prayerbook
The Rothschild Prayerbook or Rothschild Hours (both titles are used for other books),〔The "Rothschild Prayer Book" is also a Florentine Hebrew manuscript of 1492, and the British Library has a 14th century French "Rothschild Book of Hours", often the "London Rothschild Hours". There is another "Rothschild Hours", made in Rouen c. 1465, see (Auction catalogue )〕 is an important Flemish illuminated manuscript book of hours, compiled c. 1500–20 by a number of artists.〔Dates vary - 1500-1510 (here ), 1510-1520 according to Walther and Norbert, and Finns.〕 It has 254 folios, with a page size of 228 × 160 mm. It was once in the Austrian National Library in Vienna as Codex Vindobonensis S.N. 2844. Since its sale in 1999 it has held the world record price at auction for an illuminated manuscript. In 2014 it was purchased by Australian businessman Kerry Stokes from Christie's New York〔http://www.christies.com/about/press-center/releases/pressrelease.aspx?pressreleaseid=6809〕 and is on display in the National Library of Australia.
==Illuminations==
It contains the work of several leading miniaturists of the final flowering of the Ghent-Bruges school of Flemish illumination, who also co-operated on the Grimani Breviary, the ''Spinola Hours'' (Malibu) and other major manuscripts of these years. Most of the sixty-seven large miniatures are by the "Master of the First Prayerbook of Maximilian", an older artist, and Gerard Horenbout or the Master of James IV of Scotland (these being two names probably for the same artist).〔Kren & McKendrick prefer to use Master of James IV of Scotland, accepting he was very likely Horenbout〕 Other miniatures are by Gerard David, better known as a panel painter, or a pupil working in his style, with two miniatures by Simon Bening, and other work by further masters.〔(Finns books )〕
There are wide borders, many with flowers and other objects and drolleries, and another group with trompe l'oeil imitations of bronzes. Other borders frame the miniature with illusionistically painted wooden tracery.〔These are discussed in (''Sacred Image and Illusion in Late Flemish Manuscripts'' ), Robert G. Calkins, Cornell University.〕 Some pages follow the fashion of showing one scene as a framed inset within another larger one,〔(Bridgeman art library )〕 In total 140 pages, over half of the whole book, have significant decoration outside the text. The calendar has scenes of the ''Labours of the Months'' at the bottom of the pages.〔Walther and Norbert, 416-417〕 As with other very lavishly illuminated manuscripts, it was probably worked on over a long period.
