Lehigh Codex 15 Book of Hours, Franciscan Use

Description This damaged Book of Hours was likely produced in Northeastern France or Flanders in the late fourteenth century or early fifteenth century. The manuscript begins with a Calendar, which is lacking its first and last months. The book contains the Hours of the Virgin for Franciscan Use, followed by the Hours of the Cross and Hours of the Holy Spirit, the Penitential Psalms followed by a separate section containing the Litany, Prayers, and Collects (beginning lacking), and the Athanasian Creed followed directly by the Obsecro te. The book concludes with Suffrages (fols. 115r-121r), which include Saints Vedast and Eligius, and the O intemerata prayer added in a different hand.
