Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 15 of 2019

Forty-One manuscripts were added by the Vatican this week, see all the details at Macro Typography. One of the manuscripts added this week, Vat.lat.4763, is a rare Book of Hours in two classes. German Hours are unusual in general and any Hours pre 1300 is also rare. As a German Hours from the mid 13th C, this is of a class with only a fewf other manuscripts. I am aware of BnF Latin 10526 and possibly Morgan M.739. The Morgan one is from the Czech Republic, but an area of German influence. See January of the calendar to the right, f.1r, noting that in the verses at the top it mentions how January has 30(sic) days.
