Prayer Book (Use of Rome), Female manuscript owner revering the crucifix, This late fifteenth-century prayer book was made for the use of Rome and is illuminated by followers of Willem Vrelant of Bruges. The manuscript was probably created for the couple depicted in two full-page miniatures. The representation of the bride in the full-page miniatures, as well as references to her in suppliant prayers, indicates that the manuscript was commissioned primarily for the bride’s use
