Imprint

Imprint: Antwerp: Gerard Leeu, 13 Mar. 1492. 8°.

Remarks: This edition of the Roman Hours is identical with Leeu's Utrecht Hours (H‑192), with the exception of the title and gatherings d–g containing the Hours of the Virgin; see L. W. Hellinga, ‘Additions and notes to Campbell's Annales and GW’, Beiträge zur Inkunabelkunde, Ser. 3, I (1965), 81. It should also be noted that the Office of the Dead in H‑192 presents the use of Rome and not that of Utrecht, thus suggesting that Leeu first set up the Hours for Roman use, then adapted them for the diocesis of Utrecht.
