Summary

"Cantate domino canticum.../Ut faciant in eis iudici[um]..."; Lauds, Psalm 149: 1-9 (iudicium). 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 forty were produced and thirty-one are known. Sophia Cos.
