Book of Hours, Initial "D" with the Annunciation, Walters Manuscript W.90, fol. 22r (cropped).jpg

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This Book of Hours was produced in the early fourteenth century in Northeast France. The contents of the calendar suggest a use of Saint-Omer which was in the diocese of Therouanne. The presence of a female figure kneeling in prayer accompanying the Pentecost suggests the manuscript was made for a female owner. The calendar contains marginal illumination with the Labors of the Months and the zodiac symbols. There are seven full-page miniatures depicting scenes from the book of Genesis contained within architectural settings. There are twenty-four historiated initials as well as a number of initials decorated with human heads. An abundance of marginal figures makes this manuscript exceptionally charming.
