This fragmentary Book of Hours was created in Ghent for the use of a woman with Dominican ties ca. 1300. Although quite a bit of text and imagery is missing, including the calendar and Office of the Dead, this tiny manuscript is lavishly decorated on nearly every page with marginal drolleries and grotesques, making it a rich and charming book even in its fragmentary state.
