It's been a while since I've added anything to CoKL, but I got through another of the mini-Hours at Library this week, 2020HEM-27. This was made c.1400 in Bruges. The calendar is somewhat sparse at 118 saints, but nearly flawless. Only two errors, and both are just shifted by a single day. An interesting detail is the flamboyant script to abbreviate the parts (Kalends, Ides, etc) of the Roman dating

Is anyone putting together a academy panel on saints or Books of Hours? I've got a paper to propose, but it's always easier with a group
