[Book of hours c. 1470] Book of hours

manuscript from c. 1470 in Latin on 123 vellum leaves (and several blank sheets), 17 lines to a page, with 4 large initials in fine penmanship in blue and red (occ. heightened with some gold), many smaller initials in pen and rubricated in red, contemporary leather across wooden boards, ribbed back, remains of clamps, vellum endpapers, 11 x 8 cm.

Lacks clamps; front board tender (one cord still tight) and binding else somewhat damaged/ with repairs. To the inside of the front board the date 1471 in modern pencil. We were unable to find the exact date in the book. Charming late medieval book of hours in the original binding, with the first 12 leaves comprising the calendar of saints.
