Notes

• St. Barbara, beginning her Suffrage
   
• Suffrages in books of hours were prayers dedicated to various saints. St. Barbara was a third-century saint martyred at the hands of her own father, a pagan. According to her legend, her father had her locked away in a tower in order to keep away her suitors. Her attribute, therefore, is a tower with three windows, a design that commemorates the Trinity.
   
• The number '92' is written in upper right corner of recto, indicating that this leaf was once f. 92 of the original manuscript.
   
• St. Margaret, beginning her Suffrage
   
• St. Margaret of Antioch was a popular medieval virgin saint and martyr. According to her legend, she was swallowed by the Devil who appeared in the form of a dragon. Miraculously, she survived when after she made the sign of the cross, the beast's belly burst open, allowing her to climb out alive.
