| A Book of Hours, Use of Rome, from the end of the fifteenth century and of Franciscan ownership. With fine miniatures, borders, and initials. A miniature at the beginning of the Verses of Bernard shows Bernard standing on the devil held on a chain with a crozier in his right hand and an open book in his left. He is depicted in a black cowl with a white tunic showing underneath. The border on three sides has formalised leaves, birds, pansies, and pink blossom. The verses are interspersed with the 'O' Antiphons, but these are not arranged in the usual order, and an addtional one - O Messias - appears.
