Source Description
This small Book of Hours was made at the turn of the sixteenth century. The illuminations are in the style of the Master of the Prayerbook of ca. 1500, active in Bruges. The name of the first owner is inscribed in the book in a prayer on fol. 241v, in which a man named Philip confesses himself a sinner and prays for his heart to be pure. The series of full-page miniatures opens with an interesting illumination of the Salvator Mundi that was a common theme in South Netherlandish illumination in this period. A comparable example, painted by the Master of the Prayerbook c. 1500, is found in the manuscript Vat. Ross. Lat. 94.
