Book of Hours, Virgin and Child enthroned, attended by two angels, Completed ca. 1440-50 and illuminated in the style of the Masters of the Gold Scrolls, this Book of Hours preserves much information about its provenance. The first owner was possibly Barbe de Feuru, whose signature is found on the front pastedown. The book contains the ex libris of Jean of Ricaumez and his wife, Catherine of Barbenchon; their French inscription on the back pastedown promises good wine to the finder of the book if lost
