<note>The parent manuscript was first published by Janet Backhouse (1981) and was christened by Michael Michael the 'Hungerford Hours' after an early owner. Michael (1990) remains the principal study of the whole manuscript's decoration. De Hamel and Cooper (2017) provide the fullest listing of surviving leaves, with one or two additions made by Kidd (2019). The present leaf (further discussed by Kidd (2025)) was previously unrecorded. </note>

<provenance>The original patrons of the manuscript have not been certainly identified (Kidd, 2019, provides a sceptical summary of the identifications suggested in de Hamel and Cooper, 2017). The first page of the Hours of the Virgin (Kidd, 2019, no. 16b, with colour reproduction) has two coats of arms in the margin: (1) azure (?) a fess gules, (2) argent, a fess sable between three crescents of the same. (2) may be the arms of the Pateshull family of Bletsoe, Bedfordshire. The calendar suggests 'an area bordering on the Lincoln and Ely dioceses' (Michael, 1990, p. 96) and contains a unique entry for Guthlac 'festive in Hollandia', that is the Holland district of Lincolnshire.The manuscript was later owned by someone in the circle of Robert Lord Hungerford (d. 1459) and his wife Margaret Botreaux (d. 1478), whose obits are added to the calendar (18 May and 7 February).</provenance>
