Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 18 of 2019

Twenty-six manuscripts added this week, see the story at Macro Typography.
The bulk of my personal research is on Books of Hours and this week we got a lovely example in Ross.118. Based on the illustrations and calendar it was probably made in Rouen in the later 15th Century. To the right you can see the Annunciation miniature at the start of Matins for the Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with the start of the Office "Domine labia mea aperies..." Within the miniature Gabrial speaks the "Ave Maria" via banderole and Mary is depicted praying from an elaborate book stand, with no fewer than two codices and a scroll, for good measure. As usual the margins are inhabited by all sorts of monsters and foliage (f.21r)
