The Amiens Composite Calendar - July
Comparative table with 6 Calendars in Books of Hours from Northern France

---

Note Jan. 2001: Susie Nash (The Courtauld Institute) has done a similar comparative work on the calendars from Amiens at the same time! Unfortunately were we both ignorant of the simultaneous research of the other, and I only learned about her work when her book was acquired by the Royal Library in Copenhagen in the spring of 2000. See the appendices in Susie Nash: Between France and Flanders - Manuscript Illumination in Amiens. The British Library 1999, p.405-408.
