Book of hours : use of Rome, [between 1475 and 1499].
[between 1475 and 1499].
Ms. book of hours for Rome use (calendar removed), written and illuminated in the third quarter of the 15th century in South Netherlands, possibly for a Brabant patron on liturgical grounds. The litany lists Gudula, one of the two patron saints of Brussels, as the fourth virgin, along with Gertrude of Nivelles, who was widely venerated in the Netherlands. The list of virgins is longer than those of the martyrs and confessors. Franciscan saints are prominent in the litany, as is customary of Rome use.
