Description
  • SMC 003 MS 3, Book of Hours: 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.
  • SMC 003, Part 1: Flyleaf: Document fragment used as a pastedown in a prior binding. Dated in Amiens in either 1466 or 1467. See Gura (2012) for a diplomatic edition of this document. Gura notes that this document issues a request to fill a vacancy of (presumably) a parish priest and mentions the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Fuscien-aux-Bois.
  • SMC 003, Part 2: Principal book block: Fifteenth-century Book of Hours, use of Amiens.
  • In rebinding, fols. 108r-109v of the Office of the Dead were placed out of order. They should have been positioned between fols. 103 and 104. Similarly, two folios of the Suffrages are also out of order. Fols. 110-111 should follow fol. 107.
  • A version of the indulgence found on fol. 122r is also found in Walters Ms. W.426.
Alternate Identifier
  • Acquisition Number: 92648
Provenance
  • Originally owned by two families (the Le Féron and Grisel families) in Haute Picardie. Family records recorded at the end of the manuscript, fols. 127v-128r. It is unclear how this manuscript entered into Saint Mary's College's collection. Once it entered the collection, it was initially given the shelfmark of ND 3363 .H8 1561.
