Handschrift um 1490.”, The front cover of a German breviary in Latin, for use by the Dominicans containing prayers for Mass, and the Office of the Dead (Dominican Rite). Cover features a blind-stamped diamond-shaped centerpiece, the remnants of a pair of brass clasps, and missing spine revealing sewing structure., and Date suggested by style of handwriting and capital flourishes, and by calendar arrangement: i.e., ms. includes feasts of St. Dionysius and the Conception of the Virgin as single celebrations, first celebrated as such in 1481 and 1491, respectively; but lacks the observance of the feast of St. Servatius as a single celebration, a practice which dates from 1498, thus suggesting possible range of dates between 1481 and 1498.
