Reconstruction Summary

Written in NW France (possibly 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.

The Use attribution is based on the surviving responsories of the Office of the Dead, which indicate likely Use of Paris or Arras (see Ottoson, K. Responsories and Versicles of the Office of the Dead, https://www.cantusplanus.de/databases/Ottosen/search.html).
