Additional Title: Book of Hours
Language:
Latin
Folio Number: front
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: St. Barbara
Notes: This leaf was originally part of a book of hours. The prayer on the reverse (true verso) begins the Suffrage to St. Barbara, a virgin martyr who was kept shut in a tower by her pagan father. The three windows of the tower held by the figure in the miniature refer to the saint?s insistence on three windows as a way to symbolize the Trinity. This leaf is from the same manuscript as E M 11:17.
