Title: Book of Hours, Flemish
URL: http://hdl.handle.net/2186/ksl:fleboo00
Summary: The Case Western Reserve University Book of Hours comprises 132 folios with a Ghent calendar in Flemish and written in black and red inks.This is a standard series of prayers, psalms, lessons, antiphons, responses and hymns intended for recitation by the owner at set intervals. In 14th and 15th century books of hours, the texts of the Hours of the Virgin typically feature minor
local variations according to the diocese of their intended use.The Case book of hours was undoubtedly made for a Ghent patron for use in that city. However, the style and palette of the manuscript's illumination does not preclude it being made in northeastern France, perhaps Amiens, for its Flemish patron."
