Written in a gothic bookhand in dark brown ink, probably in Paris, all texts ruled for 14 lines. The manuscript is decorated with 2 full-page and 7 three-quarter-page miniatures; rubrics in blue and burnished gold; initials in blue, red, and burnished gold; line endings in blue, red, and burnished gold; and bracket borders of gold and blue acanthus, ivy-leaves, and flowers. An unfinished book of hours with space left for a further 30 miniatures. Bound in 18th-century brown calf, gilt, with printed and stenciled endsheets. For more information see curatorial file. Purchased with the Amy Lowell Trust, 2009. Owned by P. Pigeot (bookplate, front pastedown); and Joseph-Francois-René-Marie-Pierre Kergariou (f. iv).
