CHD Calendar for Mechelen
Horæ B.M.V. secundum ordinem cursus opidi Machlinien. 1505
Valencia, Real Colegio de Corpus Christi

|Calendars||CHD Guides||Books of Hours||Tutorial|

This calendar for Mechelen was transcribed many years ago after the small black/white illustrations in the publication quoted below, with the possible errors this could cause. The manuscript Hours are dated 1505 and has the rubric: Hore beate marie virginis secundum ordinem cursus opidi Machlinien.
It has a special interest because Mechelen (Malines) at that time became the residence of the govenor Margaret of Austria, where she received numerous of her family relatives, ambassadors and other distinguished visitors from all over Europe. The book can be seen as a kind of expensive souvenir. It was written and decorated for a Spanish duke by some of the leading artists in Ghent and Bruges, and there is no reason to believe that the calendar not is representative for the local use in Mechelen, where Rumoldus was the patron saint of the church. He was of course completely unknown in Spain. On July 6-7 has a later owner in Spain written a funny addition, complaining about the absense of St. Domitian, who should be the saint on 1 July "according to good Franciscan authors".
