Imprint

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

Remarks: This edition of the Utrecht Hours, assigned by Proctor to Liesvelt, is identical with Leeu's Roman Hours of 13 Mar. 1492 (H‑162), 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 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 diocese of Utrecht.
