  This illuminated manuscript represents the work done by French monks
  in the early part of the fourteenth century. The border, containing
  as it does many grotesque figures scattered through its foliage,
  indicates this, as also the style of the faces in the miniature
  work. This is taken from one of the many "Book of Hours" and was the
  page used for the "Sext Hour," a full description of illuminated
  manuscript will be found Part IX, page 101.
