Description
  • Fifteenth-century Book of Hours, use of Amiens, likely produced during the third quarter of that century. Written in Latin, with some French (Picard) used in rubrics, prayers, and marks of ownership. No miniatures present, as these were all removed at a prior point in the book's history. The removal of these miniatures and the use of glue in subsequent rebinding make the collation of this manuscript difficult to determine with confidence. For a detailed discussion of this manuscript's contents and history, see Gura (2012) and Gura (2016), pp. 566-74.
