Back to with another . This is from the Huis van het boek in The Hague, courtesy of the lovely ecodices.nl. MMW 10 E 1 was made c. 1438 in Utrecht. The calendar is almost full, 359 saints. It has a nice compliment of Dutch saints, including Willibrord and Livinus in red in November. One notable oddity is that the "300 Moors of Oct-15 are counted 344 (see below)

Another added to , Biblioteca Civica Berio m.r. C.f. Arm. I, i.e. the Offiziolo Durazzo. This is a stunning early 16th C Use of Rome hours. Decorated in a Humanistic style, the text is entirely in gold ink on purple parchment by Pietro Antonio Sallando, and the was illuminated by Francesco Marmitta. The entire thing _except_ f.1r is available online, I had to track down the printed facsimile for the start of January.

It has been such a long time since I went to a new library, but there are 13 awaiting me at Dartmouth today!
