USC Illuminated Medieval Manuscripts

Text and Images- Book of Hours, Use of Rome, Northern France

This manuscript’s texts comprise a calendar; the Hours of the Virgin followed by alternative readings for those Hours from the First Sunday in Advent up until the Purification of the Virgin on the second of February as well as antiphons to be read at certain times of the year; then the Penitential Psalms and litany; and lastly the Office of the Dead.

The calendar and many rubrics, that is, text headers, written entirely in red, blue, or gold rather than black, are in French; all other texts are in Latin.
