Breviary written at the end of the fifteenth century for use in a Dominican convent for nuns, probably in the diocese of Bamberg, as shown by the presence of Cunigundis, Henry and many Dominican saints in the calendar.

Presumably still in Dominican ownership in the seventeenth century, when additions were being made to the calendar, the latest being that of Louis Beltran (here 19 October), beatified in 1608 and canonized in 1671. On the back flyleaf verso, release stamp of the Denkmalschutz. Belonged to Mary W. T. Dickinson, who had acquired it by June 1945, probably from Dawson's Book Shop, Los Angeles...
