Summary
This is a French book of hours written about 1450. Although the text itself is complete, several leaves have been removed, probably containing illuminations, and possibly, in quire XVI, additional suffrages. The rest of the text contains: a Calendar from the region of Valenciennes-Mons, in French; Prayers and Psalms; the Ordinary of the Mass; the Hours of the Virgin; the Office of the Holy Cross; the Office of the Holy Spirit; a Suffrage to St. Barbara; the Penitential Psalms and Litany; the Office of the Dead; and the Fifteen joys of the Virgin. There are three- to four-line illuminated initials and full borders on four sides containing drolleries marking the beginnings to major sections. The leaves following fol. 89r, with the exception of f. 118r and 180r, are considerably less ornate and complex than the earlier pages. There are one- and two-line illuminated initials, KL monograms in the calendar, line fillers, and red rubrication throughout. The text is rubbed in several places and there is some brown staining, which mars the text or border decoration in places. There are some marks that indicate the past presence of pilgrimage stamps. The binding appears to be original to the text.
