De civitate Dei

1 pp 1466

The present manuscript is the only surviving Dutch illustrated copy of the City of God. Though relatively inextensive for a 15th-century Dutch manuscript, the illumination in f. Med. 10 is uncharacteristically luxurious for an Augustinian house; the customary of the Canons required simplicity and a strict, sober aesthetic. The small dragons found throughout the margins of the first three folios -- somewhat out of place in an Augustinian manuscript -- are typical of Utrecht illumination (see Marrow). The miniatures in this manuscript are attributed to the eponymous Master of the Boston City of God, recently tentatively identified by Klaas van der Hoek as Antonis Rogiersz uten Broec (fl. 1460s).

Devotional prayer book

1 pp 1450

A miscellany of devotional prayers and meditations on the Passion and the Virgin, in Latin, written in the Netherlands, perhaps Utrecht, ca. 1445-1455. James H. Marrow attributes the decoration to the Masters of the Wouter Grauwert. The inclusion among the prayers at the end of the manuscript of Saints Jerome, Paula, Eustochium, Hugh Bishop of Grenoble and Hugh of Lincoln suggests Carthusian use. This is supported by the ca. 15th-century signature of one Gerard of the Carthusian abbey of Mont-St-Gertrude near Utrecht, who bought the book from Hendrik Herp (here "Henricus Erpensis") (1410-1477 or 78), a well-known mystic and theologian associated with the Brethren of the Common Life (fol. iii verso): "Gerardus Francisci a Monte S. Gertrudis emit hunc libellum ab Henrico Erpensis."
