SENAULT Louis. Heures nouvelles dédiées à Madame la Dauphine [Christine de Bavière]. Paris, Chez l'autheur ; Versailles, Duval, circa 1685 ; in-8 of [2] ff., 260 p., text framed, antique red morocco binding, gilt fillet and fleuron on the corners of the boards, five-ribbed spine decorated with gilt motifs, interior lace and gilt edges, two gilt metal clasps. BEAUTIFUL BOOK ENTIRELY ENGRAVED WITH BURIN AND DECORATED BY THE CALLIGRAPHER LOUIS SENAULT. All the pages are decorated with a great invention and a lot of variety and fantasy : ornate letters, garlands, paraphs, flowers, birds and various subjects. The success was such that the editions followed one another during years. A RARE FIRST EDITION, recognizable by the quality of the engravings, the arms of the Dauphine († 1690) engraved on the title and the headband on page 210, where nudity considered inappropriate on a book of piety has been in the reprints transformed into masks. - A fine copy.
