Book of Hours, Top: Crucifixion with thieves; Bottom: Three tau-crosses, This book was created ca. 1460-70 CE in Bruges by the workshop of Willem Vrelant for an English patron, as suggested by the many English saints included in the calendar. The manuscript is heavily illuminated and contains thirty historiated initials, some with unusual themes, such as Christ's wounds and the Murder of St. Thomas Becket. While the number of illuminations is large, their execution is fairly standard. The Hours of the Virgin cycle is expanded at Lauds with an inserted Hours of the Cross section, which results in a complex quire structure.
