Horae ad usum Senonensem (Sens?)

 

Analysis of Content

In the Office of the Dead, the presence of the responsories ‘Credo quod' in the first lesson, ‘Qui Lazarum' in the second, ‘Heu mihi' in the third, and ‘Memento mei deus' in the sixth lesson suggests the use of Sens; it certainly excludes the use of Sarum, to which this fragment has previously been attributed, probably because of the catch letter ‘S' on G1r; see C. Dondi, ‘Books of Hours: The Development of the Texts in Printed Form', in Incunabula and their Readers. Printing, Selling and Using Books in the Fifteenth Century, ed. K. Jensen (London, 2003), 53-70, 212-23, at 212 n. 3.
