Stowe Breviary

The Stowe Breviary (British Library, Stowe MS 12) is an early-fourteenth-century illuminated manuscript Breviary from England, providing the divine office according to the Sarum ordinal and calendar (with Norwich additions).^[1]

It is thought to be by the same scribe as the Macclesfield Psalter and the Douai Psalter. The use of the same dyes, paints, and similar iconography supports this.^[2] The manuscript forms part of the Stowe manuscripts in the British Library.
