- family of Hardouin - taken earliest Horae being used in
1504/5 - printed by Antoine Chappid for Gillet
Hurdoim with woodcut surface 7 1/2 x 4 3/4"
- Gillet Hardouin - who wiht his successors was responsible
for some 70 editions during the first half of the 16th C.
Horae - Calendars - of the moveable feasts -
all that those calendars show is that the edition
in which they occur must have been printed before,
probably at least 5 or 6 years before, the last year
for which they are reckoned.
- the brothers Germain and Gilus Hardouim produced [illegible] as many
examples as Vostre and Pigouchet - they are characterized by
the frequent use of hand colouring in the woodcuts in
imitation of manuscript Book of Ours.
