        "Origin: Copied in western Germany, no later than 1411. The autograph of \"N. Pauli\" -- possibly one of the scribes or an early owner -- appears on fol. 171 and 182. Localization to western Germany is based on textual and liturgical evidence. For example, the invitatorium \"In honore beatissime virgo maria\" is associated with Germany and the Northern netherlands, while the antiphon and capitulum in Prime are associated with Siegburg, located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Cologne. The calendar and litany include a number of saints venerated in German lands and in Cologne specifically, as well as saints Willebrord and Odulf, venerated in Utrecht. These strong associations with Germany, the inclusion of Utrecht saints, and the presence of a Middle Dutch recipe on fol. 171v (see contents note) suggest that this book of hours was created somewhere between Cologne and the German side of the Dutch border. The date of 1411 is attested by a series of chronological calculations on fol. 181, written in a different hand than any of the other sections, and which mark the number of years from the Creation, Adam, Eve, the Flood, and the Incarnation. Dating is further supported by watermark evidence (see reference to Briquet in the collation note). That the manuscript was copied for or used by a woman is suggested by feminine endings in several prayers (see, for example, 180v) and by the addition, in a different hand, of a prayer to Saint Margaret, though masculine endings can also be found throughout."
