The Hours of the Virgin Mary, Written in the 15th century in the Netherlands
The Hours of the Virgin Mary, according to the use of Rome:
- Preceded by a calendar, the Hours of the Holy Cross (fol. 14) and of the Holy Spirit (fol. 19)
- Followed by some Suffrages (fol. 63), the Penitential Psalms with litany (fol. 78), the Office for the Dead (fol. 94), and the Capitula from the Gospels (fol. 128v)
The Calendar points to the Netherlands (Landoaldus, Mar. 19: Gondulphus, July 16: Gaugericus, Aug. 11: Norentius episcopus, Oct. 17). Miniatures have been cut out after fols. 18, 49: but nine are left (at fols. 14, 23, 39v, 43v, 47, 53, 59, 78, 94).
