Summary

Book of hours produced in England, probably London, perhaps for a member of a religious confraternity or community. Includes calendar, Office of the Virgin (use of Sarum), Seven Penitential Psalms and incipits of the Gradual Psalms, litany, notated Office of the Dead (use of Sarum), and a variety of prayers. The musical notation in the Office of the Dead is unusual, as is the absence of the prayers Obsecro te and O intemerata. Evidence of use includes erasure of Thomas à Becket from calendar, erasures in text, and 17th-century additions in English to calendar.

Provenance

• Sold by Sam Fogg Ltd. (London), 2007.
   
• Formerly owned by Thomas Appleby, elected Fellow of Balliol College in 1520, whose name also appears in Balliol MS 291; 16th-century inscription recording his gift of this manuscript, Ex dono gratissimi viri M[agist]ri Thome Appulby socii contubernii Whytynton London (f. 117v).
   
• Formerly owned by Father Edmund Newman, Cistercian monk from Larha, also known as Lehra, Larah or Abbeylara; the Cistercian abbey of Lehra in Ireland was founded in 1211 but dissolved in 1539, so the designation here may be to a parish or village; 17th-century note, in the same hand as additions to the calendar, recording his gift of the manuscript: Hic liber est ex dono p[at]ris Edm[und] Newman monachi cist[erciani] de Larha 1673 (f. 117v).
   
• Fomerly owned by William Maskell, an Anglican clergyman, ecclesiastical antiquarian, and author of Ancient liturgy of the Church of England according to the Uses of Sarum, Bangor, York, and Hereford, and the modern Roman liturgy, arranged in parallel columns (signature and note, f. i verso).
