The Digital Walters is a branch of The Walters Art Museum Manuscripts Department.
This Book of Hours was completed ca. 1450, illuminated by the Master of Ghent Privileges and associates. The first owner is depicted in the border of fol. 13v as well as arms of the Egmont family of Guelders, found in the margins nearby. On front flyleaf iir, a note indicates that the manuscript was given by Francois de Bonge to an unidentified recipient in memory of a close friend. While many prayers are in Latin, there is a strong presence of French found in rubrics, headings, and several narratives (tales of a canon's dream sequence, the salvation of a nun, and directives for prayers that would result in a vision of the Virgin three days before the supplicant's death) paired with prayers and devotions in Latin.
