| Manuscript Summary: | Manuscript Summary This richly decorated book of hours was probably produced in Flanders around 1450. It contains five miniatures and numerous decorated initials, pen-flourished Lombards, floral decoration in golden scrollwork, and framing in red, purple, blue, and green. Gold leaf or painted gold was used. The miniatures at the beginning of new sections depict the Crucifixion (f. 8r), the Annunciation (f. 11r), Mary enthroned with child (f. 24r), the Last Judgement (f. 57r), and a Requiem with prayers beside the coffin (f. 69r). The last section of the book of hours with the gradual psalms (from f. 80r) was produced in by a different, but contemporary, hand. It is less richly decorated. Gold and purple are no longer used here. Additions to the calendar show that, likely shortly after its production, the book of hours arrived in the upper Rhine region, modern day Switzerland. The book was rebound in the sixteenth century, at which point the margins were trimmed. It is possible that, on this occasion, the part with the gradual psalms was added to the breviary. The Renaissance binding with velvet-covered wooden boards is decorated with metal fittings. |
