Summary
[edit]DescriptionMaastricht Book of Hours, BL Stowe MS17 f012v & f013r.png |
English: Two adjacent folios (pages) of the Maastricht Book of Hours (BL Stowe MS17), an illuminated manuscript known for its lively depictions of animals and half-animals. It was probably produced in the Liège-Maastricht area in the first quarter of the 14th century. The book of hours was probably made for an aristocratic lady, who is possibly depicted in it. In the 18th century it was owned by the 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos (1776–1839), who in 1849 sold it to Lord Ashburham. In 1883 it was purchased by the British Library as part of the Stowe collection. Pages f2v up to f13r constitute a calendar of Saints. Here: ff. 12v-33r, the month of December. On the left the labours of the month (here: baking); on the right the sign of the zodiac (here: Capricorn). The initials KL stretch over the entire left page. |
