New #BookOfHours added: #Houghton library 2020HEM-50, from c. 1450-75 Italy. Like the rest of Emerson donation it's SUPER tiny. This was rebound poorly, and out of order in the late 19th C(see below), but appears complete. The calendar is sparse, with only 106 entries, and some errors. Interesting is a trio of date corrections, one each in Jan, Feb, and April, using marginal letters

f.3r from 2020HEM-50. A page of brown and red gothic rotunda text. Note the marginal a and b indicating two entries that have been swapped

The first of 3 #BookOfHours from the #TischLibrary at #TuftsUniversity, MS 9 has been uploaded. This is Use of #Utrecht, from the tail end of the 15th C, but in Latin, not the Geert Groote translation. It is only minimally decorated, some elaborate letters and flourishes, by the Master of Hugo Jansz van Woerden. See f.39v, below, for an example

First Danish #BookOfHours has been added to #Cokldb in Lund Universirt Medeltidshandskrift 35, aka the Karen Ludvigsdatters Tidebog. Undecorated, except for a few crude penwork initials, mostly at the start of an office (see start of the Joys of the BVM on f.66r below)
