Description

Litany of the Saints, male martyrs followed by bishops and confessors, St. Stephen through St. Martin. The list of martyrs is notable for the inclusion of saints principally venerated in Troyes: St. Patroclus and St. Savinian. Other saints of regional importance include the brothers SS. Crispin and Crispinian with their companion St. Quintinus, and St. Maurus, founder of Glanfeuil Abbey.

Digitized images of manuscript on parchment. 1 folio, 14 lines. Adhesive tape consistent with typical Ege mounting visible at upper and lower right of recto. Small black stain visible at the end of line 7 of recto, with lighter staining on lines 8-10. Ruled in red with text in Northern Gothic script, below top line.

Illuminated initial "S" beginning each line of recto and verso. Most lines include illuminated line filler with geometric or floral decoration between the saint's name and the abbreviation for "ora pro nobis." Apparent damage to line filler on line 10 of recto. Decorative borders at the outer side margins feature a design of red and blue curving panels with acanthus decoration over a background of gold with floral sprays.

Made for a francophone female user: see French rubrics (Ohio University recto and verso, University of South Carolina verso) and multiple Latin phrases referring to the speaker in the feminine (“pro me peccatrice” and "adiuva me miseram" in the prayer Sancta Maria dei genetrix, line 4, University of Toronto Massey verso and line 10, Cincinnati Public Library recto; "ego miserrima peccatrix" in O intemerata, line 1, Wadsworth Athenaeum recto).
