Abstract

This particular leaf begins mid-Prime, opens Terce on the recto and opens Sext on the verso. The leaf differs from the usual text in that all of the Hours skip the first versicles and responses to begin with the hymn. Each Hour has an individual hymn, but shares the final versicle, response, and oratio.

Decoration

Border including flowers and black/gold ivy, top and bottom, double banded bar on left side. All initials are written in gold with alternating blue and red foreground/infill and have white filigree.
