This transcript is based on the digital facsimile on the website in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. The pictures of the single pages are fetched by a click on the link "Image" to the left of the name of the month. The low resolution of the jpegs (592x418 pixels) does not allow paleographical studies, the readings are in some cases doubtful regarding single letters. In the Grandes Heures are some of the pages so severely damaged by moisture that almost all the blue paint has vanished, and a secure reading is now only possible with the help of ultraviolet light. Deviations in spelling given below are, however, all clearly visible in the large facsimile edition.
The golden numbers listed to the left is a normative sequence, to serve as reference. The few scribal errors found in the mss. are not included.
