Description:
Prayer Book of Mary of Guelders painted in or after 1415. Calendar of Utrecht. In Dutch with some prayers in Latin. Contains six full-page miniatures, 12 calendar illustrations, and 65 miniatures almost all of which depict three saints at Suffrages to the Saints (ff 146r - 409v). Among these is one of Saints Agapito, Bernard, and Magnus. Agapito's feast day is 18 August, and we can therefore be certain that the saint next to him is Bernard whose feast is on 20 August. Bernard has 'tuft'.
