Summary

This Book of Hours, Use of Rome, is from fifteenth- or sixteenth-century Flanders. Although now missing at least eleven leaves that likely had miniatures, it retains nineteen leaves with three-quarter or full borders with floral specimens and sometimes lattice-work against colored backgrounds, inhabited by creatures including butterflies and moths, snails, birds, an owl, and a monkey. Prayers, suffrages, and Gospel lessons precede the Hours of the Virgin.
