Summary
This manuscript is a French book of hours from the third quarter of the fifteenth century. The use is uncertain, but the calendar suggests the Diocese of Tournai. The seventeen large miniatures comprise the Evangelists, a full Infancy cycle for the Hours of the Virgin, Kind David for the penitential psalms, the Virgin on a Crescent Moon holding the infant Christ, four images of saints, a Crucifixion, and the Raising of Lazarus. Depicted in smaller miniatures are a funeral service, an Imago Pietatis, and the infant Christ seated on a cushion. An inscription suggests that the first owner was also the scribe.
Notes
- The binding was conserved by CCAHA in 2004 through the kind gift of the Samuel N. & Mary Castle Foundation.

Script
Colophon
Colophon at end of the Office of the Dead on fol. 85r, in the same hand as the text: "Pertinet Guilberto Broulin qui les a faictes"Provenance
- Written and illustrated in Northern France in the third quarter of the fifteenth century. Colophon at end of the Office of the Dead on fol. 85r, in the same hand as the text: "Pertinet Guilberto Broulin qui les a faictes" suggests that the owner and the scribe were the same person. On fol.18r a note written in English in a much later (and badly faded) hand: "This forgoing report of/ Duke of Lennox--Lord/ Chancellor [ ]/ is what was shewed to/ me as part of the/ of the [ ] of J. Borthwick/ of Crookston for the/ [ ] of one old/[ ] [ ] in/ England and after an/ inspection of it by the/ Guard officers no objection/ was moved agt the/ authenticity of it." Bookplate of John Borthwick of Crookston (1824-1907) inside front cover; written on bookplate in ink: "Number in Catalogue XXVIII". On fol. ir in ink: "Ex Libris/ Jo. Borthwick de Crookstown". The name Berthelemy Du Montyer on the cover suggests ownership. Owned by Ethelinda Schaefer Castle of Hawaii, and given by bequest to Bryn Mawr College in 1971
