note (text)

This book of hours was originally written at the Abbey of Saint-Amand near Tournai for François Duquesne in 1537, but was heavily modified in the mid-nineteenth-century by the noted restorer/forger of medieval and renaissance manuscripts, William (Caleb) Wing. The latter added the eleven full-page miniatures in French Renaissance Style and, it would seem, the secondary decoration on the remaining pages.
