Breviary, Initial 'E' with St. Lambert, This small breviary, having more that five hundred folio, is extraordinary for its length, considering it is the summer portion of a two-volume breviary for the use of Liège. The manuscript was completed for ecclesiastical use at Cathedral of Notre-Dame and St. Lambert in Liège in 1420 circa. The attribution is evidenced for instance by the Petitions to the congregation of this Cathedral, as well as the armorial shield of the family of Surlet de Chokier of Liège represented at the opening of the Psalms
