... et super exaltemus eum in secula. / ... domm posuit et non prete[ribit]. ; Begins with Canticum trium puerorum [Daniel 3] and ends with Psalm 148 in the Hours of the Virgin, Lauds. 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. Acquired by the University of South Carolina in their Otto F. Ege Manuscripts Collection at an unknown date, and digitized by Deborah Green with faculty liaison Dr. Scott Gwara in 2007.
