Undated; date is estimated from the 18th century owner's handwritten comment: "Ces heures, aussi belle qui anciennes, sont ecrites a la main vers la fin du 14e siecle."
Calendar of saints' feast days from a French Book of Hours, use of Paris, which was evidently intact in the late 18th century when the note on the recto and verso of the original beginning flyleaf was handwritten and dated 4 February 1792 by one 'Rouxeau', priest of Le Loroux-Bottereau.
MS on parchment. Calendar has 17 lines to a page, ruled in red. Left and right of each page is illuminated with flowers, leaves, and vines. Illuminated capitals. Gothic script.
Owned and signed (and dated 1792) by Rouxeau, priest of Le Loroux-Bottereau, who is assumed to be Julien-Pierre Rouxeau (1734-1811); later in the collection of H. Arthur Baker, as it includes his 19th century bookplate.
