Summary
...universas insuper et pecora campi.../...sponsus procedens de thalamo suo. Broken by Otto Ege in the mid-twentieth century. These leaves contain psalms from the Hours of the Virgin, Matins: the recto begins with Psalm 8:9 and the verso ends with Psalm 18:6.
Written in NW France (likely for the Use of Arras or Paris) in the early 15th century. Possibly identical with the Book of Hours sold at Sotheby's London on 20 December 1948, lot 415. "The Property of a Gentleman." Dismembered by Otto or Louise Ege in the late 1940s, leaves used as no. 45 in Ege's "Fifty Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts" portfolios, of which 40 were produced and 31 are known.
