CHD Calendar from Book of Hours:

NkS 27c 8° (Bruges c.1465-70)

|Books of Hours| |Calendars| |CHD Home| |Tutorial|

The calendar is a typical Bruges composition from the period c.1460-1470, and comparable to the model compiled by John Plummer, published in Roger Wieck: TIME SANCTIFIED. The Book of Hours in Medieval Art and Life. New York 1988, p.153-156. The disagreements are easily explained by the fact that John Plummer not has made any distinction between the different models circulating in the scriptoria in Bruges and Ghent at the period. As the research progresses is it getting more and more unlikely that any specific composite calendar of this secular type survived more than a decade in the 15th century. The calendar is comparable to the contemporary so-called "Black Book of Hours" (Cf. Vienna Cod.1856: Calendar transcript, with facsimile). Despite the fact that Bruges formally was part of the diocese of Tournai, has the liturgy from Cambrai apparently furnished the majority of the entries.
