Made in Flanders, but Use of Rome, it dates to the start of the 16th C. It is heavily decorated, with both Ghent-Bruges (Squashed bug) borders, and full page miniatures (see the Jesse Tree on f.11v).

a full page from a book of hours, there is a border of naturalistic flowers and birds on a gold ground around a depiction of the Tree of Jesse, with the virgin in blue to the right and an angel to the right, enacting the Annunciation

The calendar is in Dutch, but rather sparse with 128 entries. The style is extrordinary, a trompe-l'oiel "page" over a Labor of the Month scene. There are a fair number of mistakes, including a mis-copied chunk for 1/2 of april, and scribal errors, like the Vigil for All Saints into the painted border of October, as not enough space was provided

Calendar for October, f.7v, with naturalistic border and Scorpio above. The last day, Oct 31, has a vigil, but it written over the painted border as not enough space was ruled
