Book of Hours, Penticost, Illuminated in the style of the Master of the Black Prayerbook, this manuscript was created between 1460 and 1470 CE. It contains features in the calendar that indicate a destination of Bruges and features in the litany that point to the city of Liege. The manuscript is currently misbound making its reading difficult, but an attempt has been made to reconstruct the original order of the quires. The full-page miniatures and historiated initials are painted with a mixture of grisaille and colored techniques
