Book of Hours, Initial 'D' with the Nativity, This small, early Book of Hours dates to the late thirteenth century, and was created for use in Arras and remained in that region for most of its existence. Although the majority of the book is written in Latin, the calendar is in Old French. The manuscript contains a prefatory cycle of six Passion miniatures, as well as seven extant full-page historiated initials
