Prayer Book, St. Erasmus martyred, This Prayer Book, likely completed in Bruges ca. 1510-20, contains eight extant full-page miniatures, twelve calendar illustrations, and ten illuminated margins. The artistic style is similar to that of Simon Bening, but its relationship to him has not been firmly established. It is a small devotional text, sized to fit easily into the palm of the supplicant. The book is bound in violet velvet with ornate, chiseled silver-gilt furnishings and has a kid-lined violet velvet case for further protection and decoration. As for the devotional content of the Prayer Book, this manuscript is at first striking for its multilingual prayers; the text alternates between mostly German and Latin prayers, although the last section of the book, a part that remains unfinished, is written in French. Contents are indicative of an intended German owner, but there remain some Netherlandish feasts with irregular dates. Although diminutive in size, this manuscript is rich in content, heritage, and decoration.
