Book of Hours in Latin from the turn of the 15th century, following the Use of Sarum. Executed in France for a Scottish owner.

Kalendar: starts on f. 1r. Contains commemorations of Saints and Martyr, and other festivities. Miniatures illustrate activities linked to the season and Zodiacal signs. The Kalendar shows clearly English, French, and Scottish connections, but the arbitrary arrangement of the colouring (alternate blue and red) destroys some of the significance of the names.

The Scottish saints commemorated are: 9 January: Sancti Felani Confessoris (Saint Fillan, originally from Ireland, was a hermit in Scotland; one of his relic was said to have granted victory to Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn); 13 January: Sancti Kentigerni (Saint Kentigern, also known as Saint Mungo; he was a missionary in the Kingdom of Strathclyde, founder and patron saint of Glasgow); 5 March: Sancti Baldredi Episcopi (Saint Baldred, Bishop of Strathclyde and successor of Saint Mungo); 17 March: Sancti Patricii Episcopi (Saint Patrick Bishop); 24 March: Sancti Dongardi Episcopi vel Confessoris (Saint Domangard Bishop or Confessor, also known as Saint Donard, hermit in Ireland); 31 August: Translationis Sancti Niniani Episcopi (Translation of Saint Ninian); 16 September: Sancti Niniani Episcopi (Saint Ninian Bishop, missionary in Scotland). The English names include the ordinary Sarum saints in gold, together with Saint Oswald (Bishop of Worcester and Archbishop of York; 29 or 18 February), Saint Wulfram (Worcester; 15 Ocotber), and Saint Wilfrid (Archbishop of York). The French names are mainly connected with Northen France, especially with Angers.

Sequences of the Gospel: start on f. 13r (wants 1 folio at the beginning). A series of passages from the Gospels. The readings are not arranged according to the liturgy, but in chronological order, so that the events of the life of Christ are narrated in their correct chronological sequence. They do not normally include stories from the Passion. This manuscript includes: Luke 1:26-38; Matthew 2:1-12; Mark 16:14-20.

Obsecro te (masculine form): starts on f. 16r. This is a special prayer dedicated to the Virgin Mary, beginning with the words Obsecro te ('I beseech you'). It is normally present in Book of Hours.

Prosa and it begins with the prayer Virgo templum trinitatis.

The Seven Joys of Our Lady (in Paradise): starts on f. 25v. Specular to the previous set of prayers.

Gradual Psalms: start on f. 62r. This is the name given to fifteen Psalms (119-133) which all begin with the Hebrew words for 'Song of Ascent'. They are introduced by the rubricated words Sequuntur quindecim psalmi de beata maria qui dicuntur sub una antiphona. On f. 62r, the scribe has copied the beginning of each Psalm from 119 to 125, then Psalm 129 and Psalm 130. These beginnings are followed by the complete text of Psalm 131, 132 and 133. Psalms 127 and 128 are omitted altogether.

Its text derives from the second meditation of Saint Anselm, Bishop of Canterbury, but it is commonly attributed to Saint Bernardinus of Siena in manuscripts. There are two versions of this prayer, but this is the version most weidely found in Books of Hours produced in France.

Gospel (incomplete): starts on f. 119. The text is that the Gospel of John and it starts from John 18:1 with the words in quem introivit ipse et discipuli eius.

The Suffrages include Saint Thomas of Canterbury (twice), and a rubric for Saint Ninian (bottom of f. 149v), though the Service itself is missing.

The script is Gothic, good and uniform.

The ornament consists of illuminated initials, line-endings, borders, and miniatures. Verse initials are dull gold on square grounds of blue or red with gold penwork. Psalm initials are greyish white on dull gold grounds with a single flower in the centre. Sectional initials are larger, but of the same type. The line-endings are composed of plain bands of blue and red with gold line tracery.

Each page has a partial border down the outer margin, consisting of flowers and fruit in natural colours and acanthus foliage in blue and gold, arranged occasionally in geometrical designs with flat gold background. Where there is a miniature, large or small, there is always a full border similarly executed, but with birds, animals, and grotesques occasionally introduced, and sometimes conventional acanthus foliage in greyish white.
