Yes, I have already consulted it, but unless I missed something (my German
is not much fluent and I had to consult it in a hurry), there is no evidence
of earlier examples.
I agree with you that Gaigniere's catalogue is not much trusty but,
unfortunately enough, is the only source that remains for a lot of monuments...
If I am not wrong, some months ago you sent sent a couple on messages
concerning books & tombs. I came across the following article which may be
of your interest:
J. Vazquez Castro, "El libro como almohada en la escultura funeraria"
Actas del XI Congreso del CEHA, Calencia, Septiembre 1996, pp. 53-57.
Best Regards
Carlos
