Composite manuscript of liturgical texts, containing the prayers of
the breviary of the Carthusian Order (1r Capitula, 18r Temporale,
35v Sanctorale, 49v Commune Sanctorum und 51v Usus communis). This
small prayer book was probably produced in a Carthusian monastery
in Burgundy in the 13th century. Certainly it was used from the
13th to about the 15th century in one of the Carthusian monasteries
in present-day Western Switzerland, such as La Valsainte, La
Part-Dieu or La Lance. The text is written on parchment and is
decorated with blue and red paragraph initials. There are notes and
drawings in the margins.
