Bibliographic record created by BPL staff based on description by Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis.
Secundo folio: KL [M]artius habet dies xxxi …
Origin: Written in Flanders or northern France. In addition to the localizable style of the miniatures, the attribution to Flanders is supported by the contents of the manuscript. The calendar includes several Flemish and northern French saints: Bertinus (5 September), Firminus of Amiens (25 September), Amandus (26 October), Winocus (6 November), Martin (11 November, in red), Bricius (13 November). In addition, the litany includes Gangericus and Vulmarus, saints venerated in that region, and the Office of the Dead is for the use of Tournai. The unusual series of Labors of the Months, including the Virgin bearing candles in February, is nearly identical to the series preserved in calendars from three manuscripts for the use of St. Omer, near Calais: British Library Additional Ms 36684; Southern Methodist University, Bridwell Library, MS 13 ("The Sellers Hours"); and Walters Art Museum W. 90.
