Summary

This is a French book of hours from the second quarter of the fifteenth century. 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.
