W.37

Book of Hours (Use of Liège)

Book of Hours

This small but richly illuminated Book of Hours was made ca. 1300-10 for the Use of Liège. The manuscript was created for a woman, likely a Beguine living in Huy, and inscriptions indicate it continued to be used in that region by another family into the seventeenth century. The number and variety of illuminations in the manuscript are remarkable given its small size, for it contains fourteen extant full-page miniatures, twenty-four calendar images, eleven extant large historiated initials, 188 small historiated initials, and countless marginal drolleries. Although an early rebinding resulted in the loss or rearrangement of several folios, this manuscript remains a fine example of the richness and intimacy of a Book of Hours from this period.

Ca. 1300-1310 CE

The binding is not original.

Bound in Belgium, ca. fifteenth or sixteenth century; brown leather over wood boards; rebacked, corners repaired, and resewn on five single cords by Gruel in Paris in late nineteenth or early twentieth century; upper and lower covers have panel stamped design in blind with two columns of four motifs, each in a square, with fleur-de-lis flanking a paschal lamb and an eagle; inscription down center of imagery reads "AVE MARIA GRACIA;" spine rounded and backed; worn gilt edges; evidence of two metal fore-edge clasps on upper and lower boards

Created for use in Liège ca. 1300-1310, likely for a female owner, possibly a Beguine living in Huy (diocese of Liège) based on saints in the calendar (see that section for details); reference to a female suppliant in a collect on fol. 195r

Owned by Fizinne family of Huy (also spelled Fisinne, Fisen, and Fisenne) from at least 1410 until after 1604; inscription on fols. 1v-2r reads: "Guillaulme de Fizinne prieur de Buylon [Bouillon]" (d. 1410); Guillaulme seigneur de Fizinne" (d. 1474); his daughter "Jehanne de Fizinne" (d. 1558), who apparently had the book rebound; her daughter "Margarite de Daulin" (d. 1559), cited as "ma mere" by scribe of ownership entries; her son "Sire Jehan Connart (?)," canon of Huy (d. 1577); his gift to "Jean Sire de Fizinne" (d. 1604), who gave it to his daughter "Catherine...damme de hauresay [?]" (d. 1596); her daughter "Anne de Woha [?];" "et depuys au hault Vowe [?] de Sironville"
