[Book of Hours] : [Use of Paris]
Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, Ms. Codex 2030. [France], [circa 1500]. Book of hours on parchment with incomplete miniatures, written and illuminated in France, possibly Paris, circa 1500. Four miniatures are present; in the Hours of the Cross, after an initial illumination of the Crucifixion (f. 80r), five spaces for miniatures have been used for outline drawings of the traditional iconography cycle for the Hours of the Cross, which were already present in the early 19th century, as mentioned in the sale description of 1819; ten additional spaces for miniatures were not used. Suffrages include Saint Fiacre and Saint Clodoaldus (Saint Cloud). The Hours of the Virgin, Hours of the Cross, and Brief Hours of the Spirit are followed by the less common Hours of the Conception of the Virgin, but no Office of the Dead.
