This miniature book of hours (11.5 x 7 cm) for use in Rome was
probably made in Bourges by the Master of Spencer 6 (active between
1490 and 1510). All 35 full-page and framed miniatures show
identical composition, where the main scene, presented in close-up,
is complemented with a predella containing small figures. The
manuscript’s owner, the Naville family of Geneva (coat of arms on
f. 1v), donated it to the Bibliothèque de Genève in 1803.
