Abstract

Some problems in identifying and locating the origins of a number of Dutch illuminated manuscripts of the last quarter of the fifteenth century In the course of recataloguing a number of medieval manuscripts from the Koninklijke Bibliothcek at The Hague, dating from the last quarter of the fifteenth century,' it was discovered recently that certain pronouncements relating to their origin must be considered either incorrcct or insufficiently supported by the evidencc. In the first instance the manuscripts 76 G 9 and 76 G 16 are those of a group which, according to Bijvanck and Hoogewerfl', were probably illuminated and decorated in the nunnery-atelier of the canonesses of St. Agnes at Delft. Grounds for this hypothesis were seen in codex M 14.12 in the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp.2 Bijvanck and Hoogewerff inferred that this book of hours was produced in Delft, probably from the fact that the manuscript contains a calendar of the bishopric of Utrecht, with the feasts of St. Hippo- lytus (13 August) and the Eleven Thousand Virgins (St. Ursula) (21 October) are written in red. These two saints were accorded particular reverence in Dclft: the Old or St. Hippolytus Church and the New or St. Ursula
