Illuminated manuscript on prepared parchment in Latin, Northern France or Flanders, circa 1450, 84 x 61 mm, 132 folios: 12 leaves of manuscript calendar at front, 118 leaves of text and illuminations, and one blank ruled leaf at end (complete), plus single 19th century parchment blank at front and two similar parchment blanks at end, 19th century red morocco-faced parchment endpapers (rear endpaper with 19th century printed ownership label of R. Robertson Glasgow of Montgreenan to recto), calendar with 17 lines per page in red and brown ink, ruled in red, with small initial to each month in liquid gold, blue, pink, and black pen outlines, heightened with white, main text with 15 lines per page in brown ink in a gothic textualis bookhand, with capitals in blue and red, or gold with pen-flourishing in red and black, numerous small two-line initials in liquid gold, blue, red, white and black, TWELVE FULL-PAGE ILLUMINATED MINIATURES in gold and colours, bordered in black, white and gold, with outer borders of foliage in black and green, and leaves and flowers in gold, green, blue, orange or red, each miniature with facing page of manuscript text in brown and red ink, with illuminated vertical border to the right in gold, red, blue and white outlined in black, decorated small initials in gold and blue, and large historiated five-line initial in gold, blue, red, green, pink and white, outer borders of foliage in black, gold, blue, red, green, pink, occasional light toning and handling marks to margins, generally in very good condition with no obvious defects, all edges gilt, gilt dentelles to inside covers with a pale green inset morocco panel to each, fine mid-19th century elaborately gilt decorated red morocco (unsigned), lettered in gilt to spine Horae Beatae Virginis Mariae, binding measures 9 x 6.7 cm (3.5 x 2.65 ins), housed in dark olive green morocco slipcase, similarly lettered to spine, a little rubbed (Qty: 1) Contents: Calendar (folios 1-12), Hours of the Cross (folios 14-17), Mass for the Blessed Virgin Mary (folios 19-30), Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary- Matins (folios 32-50), Lauds (folios 52-63), Prime (folios 65-68), Terce (folios 70-73), Sext (folios 75-77), Nones (folios 79-82), Vespers (folios 84-89), Compline (folios 91-95), Seven Penitential Psalms (folios 97-114), and Office of the Dead, (folios 116-131). Illuminations: Crucifixion (folio 13), Coronation of the Virgin (folio 18), Annunciation (folio 31), Visitation (folio 51), Nativity (folio 64), Annunciation to the Shepherds (folio 69), Adoration of the Magi (folio 74), Presentation (folio 78), Massacre of the Innocents (folio 83), Flight into Egypt (folio 90), Judgement Day (folio 96), and Mass for the Dead (folio 115). Provenance: Northern France or Flanders, given the names of saints (or bishops) in the calendar associated with towns in southern Flanders and the adjacent northern border of France, and from the preponderance of female martyrs, probably produced for a female lay owner. The partially filled calendar includes the feast days of, among others, Blaise (3 February), Bridget (1 February), Agatha (5 February), Macaire (9 May), Pudentiana (19 May), Bernard of Clairvaux (20 August), Bishop Hubert of Liege (6 September), Lambert of Liege (17 September), Saint Remy or Remigius of Rheims (1 October), Dionysius (9 October), Bishop Martin of Tours (11 November), Saint Eloi or Eligius (1 December), and Barbara (4 December). Eligius for example was appointed Bishop of Noyon-Tournai in 642, and worked for twenty years to convert the pagan population of Flanders to Christianity. Nineteenth-century ownership label at rear of Robert Robertson Glasgow (1811-1860), who inherited Montgreenan, North Ayrshire, Scotland in 1845 from his father Robert Robertson a physician and owner of plantations in St Vincent (Montgreenan and Sans Souci). Attractive and complete near-miniature book of hours, small enough to hold in the palm of one’s
