Utopia | armarium codicum bibliophilorum | Cod. 108 : Book of hours from Paris

This book of hours | addressed to a woman | contains an entry that can only be read in ultraviolet light (f. 27v) and that mentions a Jaquette de la Barre; she probably was part of the Parisian family of organ builders who | between 1401 and 1404 | built the organ of Notre Dame. The miniatures were created around 1410 by a leading Parisian master | who can be identified as the Master of the Mazarin. Subsequently | borders were added to the manuscript | probably by a Provençal hand. Several scenes stand out from the conventional iconographic program: instead of the penance of David | there is the glory of Christ on Judgment Day (f. 101r); instead of the Mass for the dead | there is the Raising of Lazarus (f. 141r); also unusual is the depiction of the prayer of St. Jerome (f. 139v) in the full vestments of a cardinal.
