Overview

Napoleon and the Resistance of Pope Pius VII

The sale of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts and Continental and Russian Books features the Breviary of Marie (1344-1404), Duchess of Bar, daughter of Bonne of Luxembourg and King John II (the Good) of France, personalised for her with several full-page portraits and her coat of arms. John Chrysostom’s Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew, written in Greek in Constantinople in the late 9th century, presents another highlight. The Continental books section includes numerous incunabula and some fine Italian bindings, together with a leaf from a blockbook Apocalypse. There is a complete set of the monumental Russian heraldic work produced in the early nineteenth century, Obshchii gerbovnik dvoryanskikh rodov Vserossiiskiya Imperii, as well as an illuminated manuscript produced in the 1930s by Granduchess Victoria Federovna.
