The calendar of this book of hours for use in Rome contains prayers
to Saint Clarus (2 January) and for the dedication of the Church of
St. Peter in Geneva (8 October), which are particular to the
diocese of this city. At an unspecified time, the manuscript
suffered substantial damage: pages were torn out or torn apart, and
illuminated initials were cut out. Only two of the original five
illuminations have survived, placed at the beginning of the Hours
of the Cross (fol. 15r) and the Penitential Psalms (fol. 74v),
respectively. They were probably created mid-15th century in Geneva
or the immediate surroundings.
