Hours of the Virgin Mary, according to the use of Tournay (fol. 19), written in about the middle of the 15th cent. in the Netherlands
Preceded by:
- (a calendar now lost?)
- (fol. 1) the Hours of the Cross
- (fol. 6) the Hours of the Holy Spirit
- (fol. 12) the Mass of the Virgin
Followed by the Penitential Psalms with litany (fol. 57), the Office for the Dead (fol. 79), etc.
Every part is mutilated, leaves presumably bearing miniatures having been cut out in modern times after fols. i, 5, 11, 18, 27, 36, 40, 43, 46, 48, 53, 56, 78: fol. 10 should follow fol. 5. A rather later addition bears the date '1480', on fol. 106.
