Small book of hours in Latin, very much cut, containing the Seven
Psalms, the Cursus beate virginis Marie, the Office of the Dead,
the Cursus de passione Domini and various prayers. The decoration
consists of various initials with lwine scrolls and one full page
miniature (5v) - unfortunately partially damaged - which depicts an
Ecce homo with the donor kneeling in front of it with his coat of
arms to his right. Mention of the indulgence of Popes Gregory and
Callixtus III (1455-1458) (f. 139) makes it possible to narrow the
date to the second half of the 15th century, while the style of the
book decoration suggests an origin in Southern Germany, perhaps in
Augsburg, in the circle of the book illustrator Johannes Bämler.
