This compact manuscript is an illuminated Book of Hours for the Use of Rome, written in Flanders in the last quarter of the fifteenth century and including northern French and Flemish saints in the litany. Each of the major text divisions opens with a full-page illuminated miniature facing a page of text with a full floral border. A hymn has been added to the front and prayers to the back of the volume, by later hands.
