Abstract

The Hours of Prime and Terce coincided roughly with our hours of six and nine a.m. The one large decorated initial beginning the capitulum Hec est virgo helps to identify the prayer sequence. The use of Psalm 117, combined with this Hymn sequence, the antiphon O Admirable, and capitulum Hec est virgo, confirm that this manuscript was made for Rheims.

Decoration

One large decorated initial with floral illumination, two smaller decorated capitals.
