The coats of arms on fols. 7r, 13r, and 79v may be theirs. If so, this would suggest the figures kneeling before the Virgin and Child on fol. 25r as Catherine and her daughter. The manuscript was illuminated by the workshop of Jean Colombe and contains a calendar in French (fols. 1r-6v); Gospel Lessons (fols. 7r-12v); Obsecro te (fols. 13r-15v); O intemerata, lacking its ending (fols. 16r-17v); the Hours of the Virgin, lacking its beginning (fols. 18r-60r); Suffrages (fols. 61r-68v); the Hours of the Cross (fols. 69r-79r); the Hours of the Holy Spirit (fols. 79v-85v); the Penitential Psalms (lacking their beginning), Litany, and prayers (fols. 86r-96v); and the Office of the Dead (fols. 97r-127v). The first folios of the Hours of the Virgin and Penitential Psalms have presumably been removed for their miniatures. Almost every remaining folio has a foliate border, many inhabited by birds, insects, and animal hybrids. The miniature of the Virgin and Child on fol. 16r has a full panel border with an angelic choir, and the funerary scene on fol. 97r has a series of border vignettes with scenes from the life of Christ. The calendar is embellished with border vignettes showing the Labours of the Months and signs of the Zodiac, and the Suffrages with small miniatures showing each saint commemorated there. The Hours of the Cross features an unusually extensive cycle of seven large miniatures with events from the Passion of Christ, and Hours of the Holy Spirit has six large miniatures showing the Annunciation, Pentecost, and scenes from the Acts of the Apostles. The miniatures are attributed to the workshop of the prolific Bourges illuminator, Jean Colombe. 1945‑65‑15 Latin (LA, LAT) French (FR, FRE) Book of Hours, Use of Rome (Victorines‑d'Auxy Hours) 170 174 120 112 93 1 18 128 f. iv+128+v 65 740978 328636 740766 1475 1475 1465 1465 1480 1480 1490 1490 From : 1475 (CCLL) To : 1480 (CCLL) Circa 1475-1480 100062579 parchment Bourges, France Rome 873cbf2c-889a-4239-a21b-e30c7a2f67f6 single page 740203 RGB Philadelphia_Philadelphia_Museum_of_Art_Department_of_Prints_Drawings_and_Photographs_19456515.tar.gz Yes 787344 787345 787347 787348 787349 787350 787351 787352 787353 787354 787355 787356 787358 787359 787360 787361 787362 787363 787364 787365 787366 787367 787369 787370 787371 787372 787373 787374 787375 787376 787377 787378 787380 787381 787382 787383 787384 787385 787386 787387 787388 787389 787392 787393 733534 733605 733534 Record relationship https://heurist.huma-num.fr/heurist/?recID=733534&db=stutzmann_horae forTheUseOf | Philadelphia, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, 1945‑65‑15 <--> Roma 2021-06-22 11:14:59 2022-09-29 09:46:17 public 7166 forTheUseOf 10215 733605 Record relationship https://heurist.huma-num.fr/heurist/?recID=733605&db=stutzmann_horae createdIn | Philadelphia, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, 1945‑65‑15 <--> Bourges 2021-06-22 11:18:01 2022-09-29 09:46:17 public 7166 createdIn 38142 3
