	Hours of the Virgin Ad Matutinum
Folio	Incipits and Comments
f.1	/Ici comencent les matines nostre dame. ¶DOmine labia mea aperies. Et os meum annunciabit laudem tuam. Deus in adiutorium meum intende. Domine ad adiuvandum me festina. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum. Amen. Alleuya. Invitatorium. Ave maria gracia plena dominus tecum. [Psalmus.] [Ps.94] Venite exultemus domino: iubilemus deo salutari nostro: [2] preoccupemus faciem eius in confessione: et in psalmis iubilemus ei. *Ave maria gracia plena dominus tecum. [3] Quoniam deus magnus dominus: et rex magnus super omnes deos, quoniam non repellit dominus plebem suam [4] quia in manu eius sunt omnes fines terre: et altitudinis moncium ipse // [Initial V3: Arms of the Bohun family] [*Psalm 94 is the first psalm at matins in every kind of liturgical choir office, not only for the Virgin. The psalm is here, as an exception for the benefit of the Tutorial, transcribed in full, to demonstrate the function of the "Invitatorium", in this case "Ave Maria": it is read between the 5 sections of the psalm. The scribe has indicated the invitatory by using a slightly minor hand, to separate it visually from the text of the psalm. For clarification is it here marked with an asterisk]
f.1*	*Initial D6: *The Annunciation Mary is sitting in a chair to the right, dressed as a queen, reading in a book standing beside her at a lecturn. Before her to the left is the archangel Gabriel kneeling with a scroll: Ave maria gracia. In front on the floor a jug with a lily. To the left of the initial is a woman kneeling in an architectural canopy, representing Mary de Bohun reading her Hours. Her armorial colours are covering the background behind the D. [Compare with the famous picture of Mary of Burgundy in Codex Vindobonensis 1857, painted in Ghent a century later.] In the border around: medaillons (gothic quatrefoils) with angels playing music. To the left in the upper border a typical example of gross medieval humour: A grotesque creature with the head of a bishop! In the lower border three scenes depicting the Miracle of the Fallen Abbess: L:*A chapel with low aisle, clearstory, and scale-tiled roof. In its door stands a hermit in cloak with hood, and staff. An angel before him holds a child. The abbess reclines, her head in the lap of the crowned Virgin, on a mound with a tree., C:*A group of five nuns headed by the abbess, on whose bosom the bishop, attended as before by two clerks, lays his hand (and finds the accusation baseless). R:*A bishop in cope and mitre with a boy in surplice behind him and two chaplains or clerks in caps and furred capes, before him three nuns in black habits, the foremost arguing. They are accusing their abbess of unchastity.
f.1v	/conspicit. *Dominus tecum. [5] Quoniam ipsius est mare et ipse fecit illud et aridam fundaverunt manus eius: [6] Venite adoremus, et procidamus ante deum, ploremus coram domino, qui fecit nos, [7] quia ipse est dominus deus noster nos autem populus eius et oves pascue eius. *Ave maria gracia plena dominus tecum. [8] Hodie si vocem eius audieritis nolite obdurare corda vestra. [9] Sicut in exacerbacione secundum diem temptacionis in deserto ubi temptaverunt me patres vestri, probaverunt et viderunt opera mea. *Dominus tecum. [10] Quadraginta annis proximus fui generacionem hunc et dixi: semper hij errant corde. [11] Ipsi non cognoverunt vias meas: quibus iuravi in ira mea si introibunt in requiem meam. *Ave maria gracia plena dominus tecum. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui//
f.2	/sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. *Dominus tecum. Ave maria gracia plena dominus tecum. Ympnus. ¶Quem terra ponthus, ethera colunt, adorant, predicant, trinam regentem machinam, claustrum marie baiulat. [2] ¶Cui luna, sol et omnia deserviunt per tempora, perfusa celi gratia, gestant puelle viscera. [3] ¶Beata mater munere, cuius supernus artifex mundum pugillo continens, ventris sub arca clausus est. [4] ¶Beata celi nuncio, fecunda sancto spiritu, desideratus gentibus cuius per alvum fusus est. [5] ¶Gloria tibi domine, qui natus es de virgine, cum patre, et sancto spiritu, in sempiterna secula. Amen.
	Ad Nocturnum [This edition has only one nocturn (for lay readers), with the standard psalms 8, 18 & 23 to be read every day, and not three nocturns (liturgical use) with additional psalms 44, 45, 86 (2nd nocturn) and 95, 96, 97 (3rd nocturn), to be read on certain specified weekdays]
f.2	Ant. Benedicta tu. Psalmus. [Ps.8] Domine dominus noster ->>Ex ore infan=// [Before the psalm(s) is the antiphon always indicated by its incipit only. The full text follows after the psalms, in this case on fol.4. To distinguish between the two is the rubric of the incipit abbreviated to "Ant.", where the full text has "Antiphona.", no matter how it is written in the manuscript.]
f.2v	/cium et lactencium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos ->[Ps.8 cont.] ->in universa terra. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. [Psalmus.] [Ps.18] Celi enarrant gloriam dei: et opera manuum eius annunciat firma=//
f.3	/mentum. Dies diei ->[Ps.18 cont.]->>Desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem preciosum//
f.3v	/multum et dulciora super mel et favum. Etenim servus ->et redemptor meus. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. [Psalmus.] [Ps.23] Domini est terra ->>nec iuravit //
f.4	/in dolo proximo suo. Hic accipiet ->: ipse est rex glorie. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. Antiphona. Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui. V. Sancta dei genitrix virgo semper maria. Intercede pro nobis ad dominum deum nostrum. Pater noster. Et ne nos inducas in temptacionem. Sed libera nos a malo. Iube domine benedicere.// [In the following is an asterisk indicating the incipit of textparts repeated as so-called "half-verses".]
f.4v	/Alma virgo virginum intercede pro nobis ad dominum. Amen. Lectio prima. Sancta maria virgo virginum mater et filia regis regum omnium tuum nobis impende solacium ut celestis regni per te mereamur habere premium. Tu autem domine miserere nostri. Deo gracias. [Responsorio.] Sancta et immaculata virginitas quibus te laudibus refferam nescio * quia quem celi capere non poterant tuo gremio contulisti. V. Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui. * Quia quem celi capere non poterant tuo gremio contulisti. Iube domine benedicere. Ora mente pia pro nobis virgo maria. Amen. Lectio secunda. Sancta maria piarum piissima intercede pro nobis sanctarum sanctissima ut per te virgo sumat precamina qui pro nobis natus regnat super ethera. Ut sua caritate nostra deleantur peccamina. Tu autem domine miserere nostri. Deo // [The three lessons here were the most popular all over medieval Europe. In spite of the "Deo gratias" are they not quotations from the Bible, and their origin is obscure.]
f.5	/gracias. Responsorio. Beata es virgo maria que dominum portasti creatorem mundi, * genuisti qui te fecit et in eternum permanes virgo. V. Ave maria gracia plena dominus tecum. * Genuisti qui te fecit et in eternum permanes virgo. Iube domine benedicere. Sancta dei gentrix sit nobis auxiliatrix. Amen. Lectio tercia. Sancta dei genitrix que digne meruisti concipere quem totus orbis nequivit comprehendere tuo pro interventu culpas nostras ablue ut perhennis sedem glorie per te redempti valeamus scandere ubi manes cum filio tuo sine tempore. Tu autem domine miserere nostri. Deo gracias. Responsorio. Felix namque es sacra virgo maria et omni laude dignissima * quia ex te ortus est sol iusticie xpe deus noster. V. Ora pro populo interveni pro clero intercede pro devoto femineo sexu senciant omnes tuum levamen quicumque celebrant tuam comme=//
f.5v	/moracionem.* Quia ex te ortus est sol iusticie xpe deus noster. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Xpe deus noster. Psalmus. [Hymnus Ambrosianus] Te deum laudamus: te dominum confitemur. ->>Tu ad liberandum suscepturus// [The "Te Deum" is not proper for the Hours of the Virgin, or for any particular use. It concludes almost every kind of liturgical office at Matins, except the Office of the Dead]
f.6	/hominem non horruisti virginis uterum. ->>non confundar in eternum. Versiculus. Ora pro nobis sancta dei genitrix. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus xpi. // [Matins has no concluding prayer, because Lauds normally were read in immediate continuation without interruption. Exactly as it is prescribed in this place in a modern edition: "Laudes incipiuntur statim post Te deum cum versu Deus in adiutorium, ut infra. (Officium Parvum B.M.V., Mechliniæ, H. Dessain, 1957, p.23)]
	Ad Laudes
f.6v	/¶DEus in adiutorium meum intende. Domine ad adiuvandum me festina. Gloria patri et filio (et filio: dittography) et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. Alleuya. Ant. O admirabile. [Psalmus.] [Ps.92] Dominus regnavit decorem ->>in longitudinem dierum.// [Initial D2: Arms of Mary of Bohun. Note the inconsequent size of major initials in the Hours of the Virgin. And in the office of the dead are initials to the psalms enlarged to 4 lines]
f.6v*	Initial D6: *The Visitation Domestic scene, where Elizabeth is visited by Mary in her unusual luxurious bedroom. Mary, dressed as a queen, is entering through the dorway from the left. In the scrolls of the D are placed two coat-of-arms England & France and John of Gaunt, and the square background is filled with the Bohun colours, divided as écartelé In the lower border four scenes with the story of Theophilus: Left: *A bishop in cope and mitre attended by two bearded clerks. He speaks to Theophilus, beardless, in cape and robe with one hand in the pocket thereof. This shows Theophilus dismissed from his office., Center 1:*Theophilus sits on the ground writing on a parchment with seal attached. Over him stands a bearded Jewish wizard in a tall, loose cap. On right a black devil with upright horns marked with spirals lays a paw on the head of Theophilus. Center 2:*Theophilus in cape and tunic prays at an alter on which is the image of the crowned Virgin and Child. On either side are riddles, and a canopy is over the image. Right: *The crowned Virgin facing right birches the crouching devil and hands the parchment and seal to Theophilus kneeling on right.
f.7	/Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. [Psalmus.] [Ps.99] Iubilate deo omnis terra: ->>et generacionem veritas eius. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. [Psalmus.] [Ps.62] Deus deus meus->>ut viderem virtutem tuam et //
f.7v	/gloriam tuam. Quoniam melior est ->quia obstructum est os loquencium iniqua. [Divisio.]* [Ps.66] Deus misereatur nostri ->>in omnibus gentibus// *[When two psalms are combined in this way, without Gloria Patri, is the second frequently rubricated as a "Division". The same combination of psalm 62+66 is found here again at Lauds in the Office of the Dead, fol.61v. It is a standard element in the medieval permanent selection of the psalms at Lauds in all Hours of the Virgin: Pss. 92, 99, 62-66, Benedicite, 148 (+149-150).]
f.8	/salutare tuum. Confiteantur ->Benedicat nos deus deus noster benedicat nos deus et metuant eum omnes fines terre. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. [Canticum trium puerorum, Dan. 3,57-88+56] Benedicite omnia opera domini ->>Benedicite ignis //
f.8v	/et estus domino benedicite frigus et estas domino ->[Canticum trium puerorum, cont.]->>Benedicite spiritus et anime iustorum domino benedicite sancti et//
f.9	/humiles corde domino ->et superexaltatus in secula. [*] [Psalmus.] [Ps.148] Laudate dominum de celis: laudate eum in excelsis. Laudate eum omnes angeli eius: laudate eum omnes virtutes eius. Laudate eum sol et luna: laudate eum omnes stelle et lumen. Laudate eum celi celorum: et aque que super celos sunt laudent nomen domini. Quia ipse dixit et facta sunt: ipse mandavit et creata sunt. Statuit ea in eternum et in seculum seculi: preceptum posuit et non preteribit. Laudate dominum de terra: dracones et omnes abyssi. Ignis grando nix glacies spiritus procellarum // *["Hic non dicitur Gloria Patri" (Officium Parvum B.M.V., Mechliniæ, H. Dessain, 1957, p.28)] [Psalm 148: Laudate (probably the origin of the term "Laudes", is here transcribed in full, because it has been widely neglected by modern art historians. It is in my opinion one of the major keys to the understanding of Romanesque and Gothic manuscript illumination. Read it carefully, and compare its strong visual language with some of the decorative elements in this manuscript. This short psalm was read EVERY day for centuries by all pious souls, male as well as female]
f.9v	/que faciunt verbum eius. Montes et omnes colles: ligna fructifera et omnes cedri. Bestie et universa pecora: serpentes et volucres pennate. Reges terre et omnes populi: principes et omnes iudices terre. Iuvenes et virgines senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen domini: quia exaltatum est nomen eius solius. Confessio eius super celum et terram: et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Ympnus omnibus sancte eius: filijs israel populo appropinquanti sibi. [Psalmus.] [Ps.149] Cantate domino canticum novum: laus eius in ecclesia ->>: letabuntur in cubilibus // [Initial C: Grotesque animal]
f.10	/suis. Exaltaciones dei ->: gloria hec est omnibus sanctis eius. [Psalmus.] [Ps.150] Laudate dominum in sanctis eius: laudate eum in firmamento ->: omnis spiritus laudet dominum. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in se=//
f.10v	/cula seculorum, amen. Antiphona. O admirabile commercium creator generis humani animatum corpus sumens de virgine nasci dignatus est et procedens homo sine semine largitus est nobis suam deitatem. Capitulum. Maria virgo semper letare que meruisti xpm portare celi et terre conditorem quia de tuo utero protulisti mundi salvatorem. Deo gracias. Ympnus. [1] ¶O gloriosa domina excelsa supra sydera qui te creavit provide lactati sacro ubere. [2] ¶Quod eva tristis abstulit tu reddis almo germine intrent ut astra flebiles celi fenestra facta es. [3] ¶Tu regis alti ianua et porta lucis fulgida vitam datam per virginem gentes redempte plaudite. [4] ¶Gloria tibi domine qui natus est de virgine cum patre et sancto spiritu in sempiterna secula. Amen. Versiculus. Elegit eam deus et preelegit eam. Responsorio. Habitare facit in tabernaculo suo. [Ant.] O gloriosa // [The choise of antiphon to Benedictus is obviously given for the reason of identical incipits with the preceding hymn. The combination is so widespread that we must assume it was part of an archaic French prototype]
f.11	[Canticum Zachariæ, Luc. I, 68-79] /Benedictus dominus deus israel ->>Per viscera misericordie dei nostri: in quibus//
f.11v	/visitavit nos: oriens ex alto. Illuminare his qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent: ad dirigendos pedes nostros: in viam pacis. Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in secula seculorum, amen. Antiphona. O gloriosa dei genitrix virgo semper maria que dominum omnium meruisti portare et regem angelorum sola virgo lactare (et) nostris precibus pia virgo memorare et pro nobis xpm deprecare ut tuis suffulti patrocinijs ad celestia regna mereamur pervenire. V. Domine exaudi oracionem meam. Et clamor meus ad te veniat. [Oratio.] Concede nos famulos tuos quesumus domine deus perpetua mentis et corporis salute gaudere, et gloriosa (ac) beate marie semper virginis intercessione a presenti liberari tristicia et eterna perfrui leticia. Per dominum nostrum ihesum xpm filium tuum qui tecum vivit et regnat //
f.12	/in unitate spiritus sancti deus. Per omnia secula seculorum amen. Benedicamus domino. Deo gracias. [Here ends the Lauds of the Hours of the Virgin. It is, however, and old and widespread tradition that Lauds and Vespers are followed by a commemoration of saints in some form. The modern edition prescribes here: "Et fit commemoratio de Sanctis". This can be done with a short antiphon and a general prayer, or as here in the Bohun Hours, by a genuine but short Suffragia Sanctorum section, frequently rubricated as "Memorie sanctorum" See the general introduction to the Suffrages in the Tutorial. The section is composed individually for each book, and reflects often the preferences of the owners, including their personal name-saint and protector.]
	Commemoratio Sanctorum ad Laudes

Maria magdalena unxit pedes ihesu et extersit capillis suis et domus impleta est exodore unguenti. V. Dimissa sunt ei peccata multa. R. Quoniam dilexit multum. Oratio.

f.14v*	Initial D7: *The Nativity In a cowshed is Mary nursing the newborn child by her naked breast in a bed to the left. Joseph is watching from a wooden chair to the right. In the foreground heads of an ox and an ass. An angel is standing in the background. In the corners of the border and the scrolls of the D: 7 medallions with angels playing musical instruments. Above the upper border: *The Annunciation to the Shepherds In the lower border three scenes with the Miracle of the Jew of Bourges: L:*An alter with chalice and retable of the crucifix with Mary and John. Before it facing right a priest in rich vestment, seemingly a cope, holds in l. hand a square white corporal (?), on it a paten, and in r. a host. A row of seven children kneel facing him with a houselling cloth over their hands. Beyond him the crowned Virgin points to one boy at the nearer end of the row, and perhaps lays her l. hand on the head of another. The Jewish boy is houselled with his Christian playmates., C:*A bearded Jew with turban-like head-gear thrusts with both hands the back of his naked son into an oven, a half-domed structure with two side pinnacles and a circular chimney with lantern top. Flames within it; a projecting shelf on legs in front of the mouth. On right a group of Jews, the foremost, a woman and a man, in consternation. R:*The crowned Virgin spreads the edge of her robe towards the boy in the oven - represented as before.

Deo gracias.// [Initial C3: Coat-of-Arms] [The prayer Concede nos famulos tuos (still in use today without modifications) was normally only said at Lauds and Vespers in most uses. In the Sarum rite is it the only collect, repeated at all hours, apart from the important final collect after Compline. The same custom is seen in Normandy, from where the custom most probably originated.]

The child Jesus is reaching out for the content of the precious chalice held forward by the king. One of the kings is pointing towards a bright star in the background. In the lower border three scenes from the legend of the Miracle of the Christ-child as Hostage: L: *A house with battlemented lower stage and gabled upper story. Before it a woman with covered head lays the image of the Christ-child in an open chest (as hostage for her own captive son). She looks round to right at an alter, with riddles: on it under a canopy the image of the crowned Virgin sits with empty hands., C: *A square battlemented building with a circular peaked turret at each corner, two barred windows are seen. On left is the crowned Virgin touching the bars of one window, behind which is seen the woman's son. R: *A building with porch, battlements, and turrets. Within, beneath a vaulted roof supported by a shaft, on l. the crowned Virgin pointing to the woman: beside her is the boy.

At the foot of the cross Mary Magdalene kneeling in agony. To the right the jew pointing towards the (invisible) inscription above the cross. Outside the D to the left stands Longinus and points his lance across the letter into the side of Christ. Behind the initial to the right a tiny scene, perhaps representing the night in Gethsemane. In the scrolls of the D are painted two angels. In the lower border the Miracle of the Usurer's (?) soul saved, in three scenes, each taking place in an enclosure of curtains hung on rods: Left:*A bearded man, a linen cloth about his head, lies in bed. Over his body an angel contends with a black devil, cow-horned and tailed., Center:*Above the curtain the head of God amid rays. Below, the man in bed, the crowned Virgin kneeling on the near side, Christ surrounded with rays on the far side, looking upward. Right:*The man in bed, this time bareheaded and awake, lifts his hands towards an angel standing near his feet.

A devil whose head is seen over the bridge may be plucking away his staff. Another devil is in the water below. R:*An angel attending the crowned Virgin: she takes the hands of the monk under the bridge in the water and looks up to the rayed head of God above the bridge.

Behind the throne stands two acolytes swinging turribuli with incense. In the lower border the Miracle of the Jew and the Merchant in three scenes: L:*In a building with traceries and transomed windows. On left the merchant in hood and mantle, chain on neck, delivers the crowned image of the Virgin, as his surety, to the Jew in loose cap and caped robe, who points to a heap of money on a four-legged table in centre., C:*At the back in center a cloud, whence rain and hailstones fall upon a tossing ship and break the mast and shrouds. In front on either side, a shore and tree: on left kneels the Jew holding a written deed, and drawing out the water a small boat with money in it. On right the merchant commits to the water a similar boat (this moment, of course, is the first in order of time). R:*In center a judge in a high-backed chair.

[Here ends the Hours of the Virgin, strictly speaking. The following must be considered as an addition, to be read ad libitum, allthough Salve Regina (with a Omnipotens sempiterne prayer) frequently occurs here in a large number of sources from different dioceses. It was introduced in English Benedictine use at the general chapter held at Northampton in 1343, "that immediately after Compline was to be said daily, slowly and distinctly, an anthem and collect in honour of our Lady." (J.B.L.Tolhurst: The Monastic Breviary of Hyde Abbey, VI, London 1942, p.130-134)]

	Devotion: De profundis [The following has no connection to the Hours of the Virgin. In the later Roman rite was it placed after the Office of the Dead, with a rubric saying that it not is read on the day of death, nor in connection with the recitation of the office by a funeral. It is really the final part of the Office of the Dead. Here has it, however, been placed on purpose after the Hours of the Virgin, in accordance with the use at Westminster where a similar short devotion for the dead was said after the anthem to our Lady, from the end of the 14th century (cf. J.B.L.Tolhurst: The Monastic Breviary of Hyde Abbey, VI, London 1942, p.76. The Bohun Hours is in fact another early supplementary source to Tolhurst's knowledge about the English choir office. De profundis is also found in late 15th century Sarum Hours in this position). In prayerbooks around 1500 are similar texts not unusual before the penitential psalms, with a rubric explaining how they should be read before you enter a cemetary or another burial place, to commemorate the dead.]

Per christum dominum (nostrum). Fidelium anime per misericordiam dei requiescant (in pace). Amen.// [The missing rubrics (within square brackets) on fol.32 are here from a modern Roman Breviary. The end of vespers of the office of the dead on fol.45v-46 has an identical text, where it can be compared how the scribe placed rubrics when he had sufficient linespace. In fatigue did he here repeat a sentence, which certainly not improved his situation.]
