The Manuscript
This manuscript was produced in Bruges for use in Ghent probably around 1460 or 1470, according to the work of Dr. Gregory Clark. For his full analysis of the calendar and illuminations, please see his lecture page. This Book of Hours is illuminated in a similar style to that of the Mildmay Master, especially with regards to the miniatures. The borders of many of the illuminated or illustrated pages are very typical of the production in Bruges during this period. They heavily feature acanthus leaves and rinceaux ("fine leaves in black pen and ink studded with small ivy leaves and blossoms, all of them in burnished gold," per Dr. Clark).
