Script contains primary features of gothic textualis, including straight strokes, even for curved letters like "o" and "c", and the biting of connected letters, such as "d" and "e". The script also contains slight cursive features; many words are written without the pen being lifted.

Fragments of four leaves from the same fifteenth-century Book of Hours, used as parchment lining in the spine of the first volume of Jean Pontas' Dictionnaire de cas de conscience (Paris: Chez Pierre-Augustin le Mercier, 1724), part of the Seghers Collection at the University of Victoria's Special Collections and University Archives. Fragments are positioned at three places in the spine (top, middle, bottom) and are visible on the outside of the binding and the inner covers. 

The dimensions of the fragments vary, with the largest (a nearly complete text block, with margins trimmed off) measuring 80 x 70mm. Condition also varies. The letters on some fragments are faded and discoloured (particularly on the spine), while others (visible on the inner covers) are in excellent condition. Reddish plummet ruling is clearly visible on inner-cover fragments.

There is evidence of illumination on all of the fragments, and the details match for each: illuminated gold initials are surrounded by blue or red with white details, similar in design to the line fillers, which are red and blue on each side with white details and a gold central circle.

Host volume was likely acquired by Charles John Seghers (1839–1886) from an unknown source. Seghers was a missionary in British Columbia, Canada, but collected books from across Europe. His collection was housed at St Andrew's Cathedral in Victoria, B.C., until 1976, when it was permanently loaned to the University of Victoria's Special Collections and University Archives.

It is worth noting that some items from the Seghers Collection were donated by other priests and parishioners after Seghers' death. In addition to marks of ownership from St Andrew's Cathedral and the University of Victoria, the ex libris of a D.G. Huet is pasted on the front inside cover. A preliminary search of this name indicates that this may have been a priest living in the 1780s at the church of Saint-Jean-de-la-Chaîne in Châteaudun, France (Merlet 62).

Moreover, the host volume is significant for a register of marriages between Hudson's Bay Company men and Stó:lo women in nineteenth-century British Columbia discovered in its pages. As the Dictionaire de cas de Conscience contains 3 volumes, it is unknown at this time if the marriage register was discovered within this specific volume or another in the series (Cazes).
