Description

Manuscript on vellum (13 unnumbered leaves), bound: color illustrations, illuminations; 167 x 135 mm, bound to 172 x 140 mm

Calendar of saints' feast days from a French Book of Hours, use of Paris, which was evidently intact in the late 18th century when the descriptive note on the original first flyleaf was handwritten and dated 4 February 1792 by one 'Rouxeau', priest of Le Loroux-Bottereau. Rouxeau is assumed to be Julien-Pierre Rouxeau (1734-1811); the calendar as currently bound includes the 19th century bookplace of H. Arthur Baker.

Date is estimated from the 18th century owner's handwritten comment: "Ces heures, aussi belle qui anciennes, sont ecrites a la main vers la fin du 14e siecle."
