  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  label: Description
  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.
metadata:
  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.

  value: A Dominican Breviary signed and dated by the Dominican scribe Konrad Tronner in the Upper Rhine (identified on f. 446v). The Breviary was customized by several hands of one or more early users, at least one of them was a Dominican nun. The breviary features zoomorphic initials and masculine forms in the main text indicating that the manuscript may have been copied with a male user in mind, and was customized for a female user, likely before Tronner finished working on it. Other hands added marginal corrections and annotations. The breviary contains the complete text of the Divine Office, encompassing a broad range of readings, prayers, hymns, canticles, and Psalms arranged according to the canonical hours of the Divine Office.

  label: Provenance
  value: The core of the Breviary was copied by a Dominican friar in 1370 based on the following inscription on f. 446v: "Anno domini M? ccc? lxx?". Based on the prominence of Dominican saints in the calendar, Konrad Tronner copied this Breviary for Dominican use, perhaps his own or the use of a Dominican nun in a sister house. The inclusion of certain Dominican patron saints as well as evidence of decoration indicate that the book may have originated in the Alsace region. The final quire of the book was a fifteenth-century addition to the volume based on evidence of script and was later bound in the sixteenth century based on the flyleaf watermark. The IHS monogram stamp on the upper board is similar to two localized to sixteenth-century Bavaria. The book later belonged to collector Dr. Hans Titschack based on his bookplate on front paste down.
