Summary

Bifolium from a manuscript once part of the French royal library, now known as the Chester Beatty Book of Hours after the owner who dismembered it. Acquired from English bookseller Alan G. Thomas in 1970. Catalogue 24 (1970), no. 7. 

Decoration: Text framed by exquisite border decoration: enclosed on three sides by burnished gold staffs sprouting scrolling ivy vine scrolls around the margins, the leaves coloured gold, red and blue. Two 3-line and 19 1-line initials, alternating red and blue on burnished gold grounds, with matching line fillers.

Text: Hours of the Virgin - parts of Lauds in the Office of the Dead.
