Lange Getijden van het Heilige Kruis: Long Hours of the Cross:
Rubr. "Hier beghinnen die langhe gethide vanden heiligehen cruis". - f.128r-137r: Boetpsalmen: Penitential Psalms - f.137r- 148r: Litany: we find the saints honored in Utrecht: Boniface, Lebuin, Willibrord, Aldebert, Ludger, etc. - f.149r-186r: Vigilia:

ICONOGRAPHY
Historiated painted initials: - f.13: Virgin and Child (Madonna), type 4a frame described by L. Wierda - f.51: Salvador Mundi
Mundi, framed type 3c - f.75: Annunciation (Pinksteren), framed type 6c - f.103: Man of Sorrows (Man van Smarten), framed type 3e - f.128Last Judgment (Laasste Oordeel), type 1b framing The historiated initials are followed by a 10-line painted initial with type 3c framing and accompanied by 22 champie letters with antennae adorned with three-lobed flowers, free green comma-shaped leaves and besants (type 3b framing according to L. Wierda| see also the drawings listed by L. Wierda, p.131-134, "pennerondjes", tekening 12, with "kommavormig blaadje", tekening 25).
The various subjects follow the classic iconographic cycle listed by Wierda Livre d'Heures à l'usage d'Utrecht We would like to thank Laura Lebarbey for writing this note.
details (p.70): the Virgin and Child for the Hours of the Virgin, the Salvador Mundi for the Hours of Eternal Wisdom, the Annunciation for the Hours of the Holy Spirit, the Man of Sorrows for the Hours of the Cross and the Last Judgment for the Penitential Psalms.
The style of the historiated initials and the framing are very similar to the manuscript preserved at Zwolle HCO: Coll. GAZ 57, identified as part of the Sarijs-handischriften. The copyist's hand also appears similar to our own. The artist of the manuscript differs mainly in the face of the Virgin, but all the compositions are based on the same model. The features of the various representations of Christ in our manuscript are similar to those of the Zwolle Last Judgment, but there is something in the eyes that suggests a different hand.
Two other manuscripts preserved in Leiden are also close: Leiden, UB: ms. LTK 298 (different copyist but same type 3b frame) and LTK 299 (same composition for the Virgin and same type 4a and 3b frames).
