Medieval illumination by Tania Crossingham
This Book of Hours was created in Hainaut, France, ca. 1450-60. The first owner was likely female, as a female donor is depicted on fol. 13v. Perhaps among the most noteworthy components of the book is the heraldry present throughout. Armorial shields were added early and identified by Michel Pastoureau as arms of a member of the Buves family of Picardy. There are two heraldic coats of arms: the first is of two gold lions, the second remains unidentified. While the armorial shields are sometimes present as stand-alone images, the two are often juxtaposed below prayers, such as Matins in the Hours of the Virgin, Compline in the Hours of the Virgin, and the Office of the Dead.
