The Rohan book of hours, 1959: p. 5 (Yolande of Aragon, niece by marriage of Jean de Berry, wife of Louis II, King of Sicily and duc d'Anjou; ordered a book of hours from her court painters, probably intended for her eldest son Louis, heir to Duchy of Anjou and Kingdom of Sicily after death of Louis II in 1417) p. 6, etc. (Heures de Rohan, as they were later to be called; one of the works done by the Rohan Master for the family of Anjou; made shortly after 1416, probably about 1418-1425; name derives from the coats of arms of Rohan, which were a later addition; these hours are, by rights, Heures d'Anjou; [liturgy] follows the Use of Paris, not that of Angers, but the precise use was of secondary importance for a family which divided its time between Paris and its estates in the provinces; the Rohan Master probably worked in Paris during formative years, then his atelier de Rohan must have moved to Angers) Wikipedia, viewed September 4, 2008 (The Grandes Heures de Rohan (The Grand Hours of Rohan; Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, M.S.

N., MS. lat. 9471), which contains the arms of the Rohan Family on several pages, although it is not certain that these arms are original; several scholars, including Avril, associate the production of the Rohan Hours with the Angevin court and with Yolande of Aragon, wife of Louis II, Duke of Anjou; it is thought that Yolande may have commissioned the Rohan Hours in 1431 to celebrate the marriage of Charles of Anjou, Comte du Maine, to a daughter of Alain IX de Rohan (the marriage, however, never took place); the Master was involved in the Rohan hours during the period of the climax of his career; scholarly opinion favours Angers and the Angevin court as the centre for these activities, although Meiss (1974) suggested Bourges; Meiss also indicated an earlier date, in the 1420s, for the Master's mature period; but Avril argued for 1430-40, on the grounds that the Hours of René of Anjou are dated by internal heraldic and historical evidence to 1435-6) Herrscher des Himmels : die zwölf Tierkreiszeichen und ihre Mythen, 2005: page 19 of commentary volume (Grandes heures du duc de Rohan, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Ms. Lat. 9471; the manuscript was made circa 1430-1435; das Grosse Stundenbuch des Duc de Rohan) |
