This Book of Hours following the liturgical custom of Paris
contains a large number of private prayers in Latin and French,
most of them unpublished. As indicated in the colophon on page
193r, the book was produced in 1421 in Paris in the workshop of the
bookseller Jacquet Lescuier. It was commissioned, or perhaps only
bought, by Jean II de Gingins, born around 1385 and died either at
the end of 1461 or the beginning of 1462; he had his coat of arms
painted on p. 193v. The miniatures were executed by several
illuminators, among them the “Guise Master,” the “Bedford
Master” and a student associated with the “Bouciacut Master.”
The last representative of the Gingin-La Sarraz family left the
castle to her brother-in-law, Henri de Mandrot, who in turn gave
this manuscript and the family archive to the state archive of the
canton of Vaud in 1920.
