  • Illumination: Initials in red and blue and in gold on a painted background. - At the beginning of every text unit a full page miniature on the verso, and a decorated initial (partly historiated) on the recto, supplemented with a three-sided painted border (Ghent/Bruges style). - The seven miniatures in this manuscript (ff. 8v, 39v, 57v, 73v, 90v, 107v, 128v) belong the Masters of the Dark Eyes group.
  • Textual: Book of hours, Dutch translation by Geert Grote. Calendar with traditional golden number, only partly filled with saints; arranged for the diocese of Utrecht (Litany likewise), especially Holland, with Adelbert (25.7) and Jeroen (17.8) in red; furthermore mention of Mary Magdalene's conversion (2.4); also some additions by the scribe. Neither calendar nor Litany testify to a specific monastical context. Hours of the Eternal Wisdom in a divergent redaction. In the Litany St. Lucy added after St. Agatha (100v)
  • Also described by MMDC and A.W. Byvanckgenootschap (database RKD, The Hague).
