Title Book of Hours, Use of Sarum ('The Taymouth Hours')
Origin England, S. E.? (London?)
Date 2nd quarter of the 14th century
Language Latin and French
Script Gothic
Artists Sandler identifies the main artist as that of Glasgow, University Library MS Hunter 231, made for Roger of Waltham (d. c. 1341), canon of St. Paul's, London. Michael 1987 identifies the main artist as that of a psalter made for Worcester diocese use, Oxford, Bodl. MS Lyell Empt. 4.
Decoration 24 calendar roundels, in colours and gold (ff. 1-6v). 24 large and smaller miniatures, in colours and gold (ff. 7, 16v, 18, 33, 59v, 60, 71, 89 [historiated initial], 94v, 98v, 112v, 118, 118v, 119, 120v, 121v, 122v, 123v, 124v, 125v, 126, 139, 150v, 151).

Official foliation ff. 195 (+5 paper flyleaves at the beginning and 5 at the end)
Form Parchment codex
Binding Post-1600. Red leather with gold tooling; marbled endpapers; gilt edges.
Provenance Several images of crowned women and a crowned man queens and kings suggest a royal connection, e.g. f. 18: it has been suggested that the manuscript was commissioned for Joan, daughter of Edward II, who married David II of Scotland, or for Philippa of Hainault, queen of Edward III, or for Isabelle of France, queen of Edward II (see discussion Stanton, 'Isabella of France', 2003), or for Eleanor of Woodstock, daughter of Edward II, who married Reinald II of Guelders (see discussion in Smith, Taymouth Hours, 2012).
Perhaps made in London: the calendar includes saints Ethelburga (abbess of Barking, near London) and Botulph (venerated at three London parishes).
Unidentified member of the Neville family: with their arms, gules a saltire argent (ff. 3 [painted over arms of St. George], f. 151).
Unidentified 16th-century Scottish owner: with his notes in Scots dialect (e.g. 'ane leife', f. 60; 'tua leife', f. 89).
An earl of Breadalbane of Taymouth Castle, Perthshire: his armorial book-plate with the title 'The Earl of Breadalbane' (inside upper cover); inscribed, 17th/18th century 'Shelf 29 number L' (f. 1) (cf. Egerton 2899, also from Taymouth Castle).
Bertram Ashburnham (b. 1797, d. 1878), 4th earl of Ashburnham.
Bertram Ashburnham, 5th earl of Ashburnham: his sale, May 1897, bought by Yates Thompson together with the entire Ashburnham Appendix in May 1897.
Henry Yates Thompson (b. 1838, d. 1928), collector of illuminated manuscripts and newspaper proprietor: with his book-plate inscribed '[MS] 57 / nee.e.e. [i.e. £500.0.0] / [bought from the] Earl of / Ashburnham / May 1897' (1st flyleaf); inscribed by him 'This volume one of the choicest of my English MSS I gave to my dear wife on her birthday Jan'y 10th 1917 to mitigate her grief at the news that I intended to sell my collection of 100 illuminated MSS. HYT' (2nd flyleaf).
Bequeathed to the British Museum in 1941 by Mrs Henry Yates Thompson.
Notes Full digital coverage available for this manuscript: see Digitised Manuscripts at http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts.
The style and subject, especially the many bas-de-page narratives ranging from romance and fabliau to biblical and hagiographic material, are closely connected to two important manuscripts thought to have been illuminated in London: Egerton 2781 (the 'Neville of Hornby Hours') and Royal 10 E IV (the 'Smithfield Decretals').
