All the full-page miniatures have been excised and many sections of the text break off or begin imperfectly. The manuscript includes: a hymn, Ave verum, written in a later hand; a Calendar of Paris, in French; the Gospel Lessons and the Passion of Saint John; Prayers (Obsecro te and O Intemerata); the Hours of the Virgin; the Short Hours of the Cross; and the Office of the Dead. There are two three- line illuminated initials with penwork extensions and two-and one-line illuminated initials with penwork extensions throughout. Much of the gold on the text has worn off and the inks have faded and are smeared throughout. The name "M. DeVilleroy" and "Villeroy" occurs on the top or bottom margin in ink on several leaves throughout the text in a later hand.Latin; Middle French (ca. 1400-1600)Castle Hours # 5, Use of Parisformer ownerCastle, Ethelinda Schaefer1rHymn Ave verum2rCalendar of Paris, in French12vGospel Lesson and Passion of Saint John19rPrayers27rHours of the Virgin62rShort Hours of the Cross65rOffice of the Dead
