Summary
[edit]DescriptionMaastricht Book of Hours, BL Stowe MS17 f187v-f188r.png |
English: Two adjacent folios (pages) of the Maastricht Book of Hours (BL Stowe MS17), an illuminated manuscript mainly known for its lively depictions of animals and half-animals. The book of hours was probably made for an aristocratic lady in the Liège-Maastricht area in the first quarter of the 14th century. In the 18th century it was owned by the 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, who in 1849 sold it to Lord Ashburham. In 1883 it was purchased by the British Library as part of the Stowe collection.
Folios f187v-f255r constitute the Office of the Dead. This section begins with a full-page miniature on the left (f187v). It depicts Christ visiting Purgatory (between his death and resurrection). The medallions show men with scrolls (prophets? evangelists?). At the bottom is a seated angel playing a musical instrument. The initial on the right hand page (f255r) shows "souls resting in Abraham's womb". At the bottom of the recto page is a decorated border with floral motives supporting an architectural structure with two female saints below (one unidentified, the other Saint Agnes) and two male saints above (one with key, possibly Saint Peter or Saint Servatius) . |
