Reconstruction Summary

Foliated '173' in a later hand.

Contents: The text comprises part of the hymn Patris Sapientia, Veritas Divina, the central component of the Hours of the Cross in the Book of Hours. It begins with the truncated incipits of the prayer and verse concluding the stanza for the hour of Terce and continues through the succeeding hours, breaking at the rubric naming the hour Compline.

In the lower margin, there is an annotation in old French, added by a former owner of the book, lamenting that "La misère est trop dare gue" [The misery is too hard].

Decoration: Marginal panels feature acanthus tendrils in blue and sprays of red dianthus flowers set against a scrolling vine with gold foliage and sprouting flower buds.

One 3-line, two 2-line initials in blue with decorated ovals on burnished gold grounds, and eight 1-line initials in gold with ovals alternating blue or pink painted on grounds in the opposite colour and heightened with white pen work. Matching line fillers.
