Title:
Hore beatissime virginis Marie: secundu[m] vsum ordinis Fontebralde[n]sis
Description:
The daughter of one printer and married to another, Yolande Bonhomme was one of the most prominent woman printers and booksellers in sixteenth-century Paris. Publisher of both ecclesiastical and secular books, she printed for the University of Paris. With Charlotte Guillard, she was one of the printers who sued the papermakers’ guild over the poor quality of the paper Parisian printers were required to use. This intimate book of hours was commissioned by Louise de Bourbon, Abbess of the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. It contains interlinear manuscript notes in a tiny, elegant hand. There are only two known copies of this work.
