Decoration: Miniatures (partly defaced), borders (some unfinished)
and initials. Scott (1996 no. 22) distinguishes six artists of the
miniatures, of whom hands C, D and F were working in France or
Flanders in the late fourteenth century, hands A and B in England,
probably London, somewhat later. Hand A, to whom she attributes
fols. 2v, 4v, 10, 104v, 143v, 144v, and 146v, has been identified
elsewhere (e.g. P&A iii. 795) as Herman Scheerre, although
Scott does not accept this identification. Hand C (fols. 6v, 11v,
12v) is identified as the Master of the Beaufort Saints. Hand E
(fol. 19v, probably an inserted miniature) is also found in the
Bedford Hours and Psalter (British Library MS Addit. 42131). Cf.
P&A i. 308, pl. XXIV; iii. 795, pl. LXXVII.
Provenance: Interpreted by Scott (1996 no. 22) as a Franco-Flemish
Book of Hours enhanced in England with additional text and
decoration.
