AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM LEAF WITH A FULL-PAGE MINIATURE DEPICTING THE HARROWING OF HELL, AFTER ALBRECHT DÜRER
Seller
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description
Germany, ca. 1540. 183 x 133 mm. (7 1/8 x 5 1/4"). WITH A FULL-PAGE MINIATURE DEPICTING THE HARROWING OF HELL, featuring a naked Adam and Eve on the left, and on the right Christ bending down to rescue John the Baptist, the figures framed by a stone archway supporting a hairy creature who aims the point of a spear directly at Adam and Eve, the miniature in a thin brown frame with gilt lines, surrounded on two sides by the words "VERBUM DOMINI MANET IN ETERNUM" in gilt, all framed in gray and red washes with double rules of black and gilt. Light soiling to frame, a little flaking to the gray border and a couple of small scuffs and smudges elsewhere, verso with spotting, but the miniature vibrant and well preserved with only very trivial imperfections. A close copy of an early 16th century engraving by Albrecht Dürer, this powerful miniature depicting the Harrowing of Hell is an intriguing artifact that ties together manuscript art, print culture, and the Reformation. The image depicts an apocryphal tale in the Gospel of Nicodemus in which Christ, following his death but before his Resurrection, descends into Limbo in order to save righteous souls who had passed away before him (particularly figures from the Old Testament). Christ appears here in pale pink robes carrying a long staff with a cross and banner adorning the top. Having just brought down the gates of Hell, he stoops to rescue John the Baptist (here dressed in furs) from its depths. A naked Adam and Eve, covering their loins, stand at the left of the composition--Adam now a gray-bearded old man as a reflection of sin and mortality, but Eve still as she was at the Expulsion, in keeping with the period's inclination to retain the classically idealized youthful feminine form. Above them is a stone arch upon which a dog-like demon perches stealthily, aiming a spear directly at the oblivious couple. Another demon snaps its jaws at the feet of Christ, and we can see a lick of flames below the broken gate as more captive souls clamor to escape. The painting is skillfully done, showing the artist's facility with anatomy, proportion, and foreshortening. The bodies of Adam and Eve are particularly excellent, with lovely skin tones and convincing molding. The composition is clearly based on an engraving by Dürer published in 1513 as part of a major series of 16 images known as the "Engraved Passion." In translating a black & white print into a full-color painting, the artist here dispensed with a few details seen in Dürer's work, such as the shadowy figure behind Adam and Eve, and the stigmata on Christ's hand; however, the overall composition deviates little from the original, suggesting that the artist may have been working from an actual engraving. Although this leaf contains just a few words in the form of a border inscription--"Verbum Domini manet eternum" ("the Word of the Lord endures forever")--they are monumentally important. This line from Isaiah 40:8 and 1 Peter 1:25 became the motto of the Lutheran Reformation, appearing on art, clothing, coins, and even armor of the 16th century. The Schmalkaldic League, an influential group of allied Lutheran principalities in the Holy Roman Empire at the time, also adopted it as their motto. Given the dominance of print materials during the Reformation period, our hand-painted miniature--possibly produced as a frontispiece--must have been a very special commission. It is also an object that is prime for further study, touching on aspects of book production, religious art, and the transmission of images and ideas in the early modern period..

Fold-out artwork poster with timeline to verso laid in. Binding is firm and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. A very presentable Kickstarter edition of Hellboy: The Role Playing Game, inspired by the legendary tales of horror, myth, and folklore of Mike Mignola. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Inspired by Mike Mignola’s legendary tales of horror, myth, and folklore, Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game is an immersive tabletop experience that brings his world to life. Powered by the world’s most popular RPG ruleset, Fifth Edition, Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game gives you the tools to step into the shoes of a B.P.R.D. agent, ready to face the forces of evil. You can become a field researcher skilled in the study of the occult, a hard-nosed B.P.R.D. security agent, a rookie with hidden supernatural powers, and more... The choice is yours. Get ready to become a member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.) and begin investigating occult perils threatening the world’s very existence. In the Hellboy RPG, your team explores gothic locations, hunts clues, discovers artifacts, and faces off against terrifying foes. The Hellboy universe is vast. Absolutely vast. It spans, well, a whole universe. From the icy depths of dimensionless space where the ancient elder beings, the Ogdru Jahad, wait eager to return, to the wintry tracts of a Russia preserved in Baba Yaga’s dream. It contains an entirely new and secret history of the world, preserved in a lost language. It’s a universe filled with magic, arcane science, Nazis who need punching, and characters who are always that little bit more than you expect them to be. It’s a universe of stories. And with this RPG, you get to tell your own. The world isn’t what it seems, you know this, right? You look smart, you look like you’ve seen some stuff. On the surface, sure, there are still supermarkets and pubs, wrestling bouts and cinemas. But beneath that there is another world. Another world that pokes its way through the glass and steel of our world, pokes its way through and demands to be seen. It’s usually the colour of blood. You know the score — vanished children, nightmare beasts erupting in the centre of a suburban town full of nice, prosperous parents with gum-chewing, grinning kids. The old stories that fill books even now are all true. Every fairy tale, every half-murmured urban myth, every fanciful drawing in the corner of a medieval map…every one of them is true. And the world needs protecting. What’s in the Hellboy book? This 240+ page core rulebook is broken down into three main parts, providing all of the necessary background and rules needed to play. It provides everything you need for play, including: Part I: Joining the BPRD: Comprehensive Origins and Roles that allow you to create your very own paranormal investigator. Part II: Mastering the Basics: The complete 5E ruleset, with some tweaks and changes to bring the system fully into Hellboy’s world. It includes new mechanics for options such as Ingenuity and Doom, designed to capture the flavor and strange dynamics of the Mignolaverse. Part III: Conquering the Darkness: Definitive advice for GMs on running games set within the Mignolaverse, including tips for creating paranormal locations and strange pocket dimensions, rites and rituals, weird science, and occult groups. Part IV: Agents and Enemies: A comprehensive bestiary of foes, plus statistics for several legendary characters such as Abe, Hellboy, Liz, and others. The Jungles of the Mind: A complete stand-alone adventure for up to six players. (Publisher).
