Archivistische beschrijving
Geschiedenis beheer
The use of the feminine form in the Obsecro te (f. 150) suggests that the book was originally produced for a woman. The earliest known owner was John Scott Whiting (b.1749), whose bookplate is pasted inside the front cover. It is presumed that it passed to his eldest son Matthew (1787-1871), and then to his son Henry (1819-1894), and finally to his daughter Juliette Elizabeth Marie (d.1933). Juliette married Major-General Alfred Turner (1868-1919) in 1902. Turner's bookplate is also in the book.
Bereik en inhoud
Manuscript is primarily in Latin with headings and saints names in French. The original description from the dealer indicated that it was 'composed in the style of the School of Tours'. However, the saints' days selected for inclusion in the calendar as well as textual variations in the Office of the Virgin suggest that it was produced for use in the Troyes region of France.
