Summary

Fragment, Book of Hours (use of France), 15th C. 

...et intendit mihi.../...ecclesia magna ecce labia...

Dismembered by Otto F. Ege in the early 20th century. Leaves used as no. 31 in his Fifty Original Leaves sets; this leaf originates from the 29th set. Evidence of Ege's fragmentation can be seen in the use of the distinctive matte and tape. A catchword (Suscepit) can be seen on the bottom of the verso side of the leaf.
