Abstract

META HARRSEN In a recent contribution to the history of Dutch manuscript illumination I, Professor Byvanck included an early XVth century Book of Hours, previously in the collection of the Duke of Arenberg 2, and now M. 866 in The Pierpont Morgan Library. It is a happy coincidence that this important, hitherto unpublished manuscript should have received its first expert evaluation from the pen of the dean of Dutch connoisseurs in this field. The manuscript is an Hours of the Virgin for Utrecht Use, as are its Kalendar and Litany; the text includes, at the end, the somewhat unusual Hours of the Sorrows of the Virgin. It is comprehensive in scope and the contents gives evidences of being the personal choice of the owner. The name of St. Peter is invoked twice in the Litany (among the apostles and also among the mart yrs) indicating that he was the patron saint ofthe owner or that the latter was a member of St. Pieterskerk, Utrecht. This special veneration is also marked in the suffrage to St. Peter, where he is addressed as: P etre princeps apostolorum nutritor meus.. There are 53 full-page miniatures, 7 half-page miniatures, 24 Kalendar illustrations
