Manuscript, on parchment, incomplete, containing the remains of a book of hours, probably Use of Rome. All illuminations have been excised and there are few complete sections except for the Penitential Psalms (63r-75v) and the Office of the Dead (82r-112v). These texts are followed by two prayers to Saint Lazarus in Latin (113v- 115r ). Folios 115v-116v contain a personal narrative in French by Sister Collette d'Oisellet of the Hospice of Beaune, the owner of the volume. She describes being miraculously healed from paralysis in 1497 at Autun cathedral through the relics of Saint Lazarus; an annotation records her decision to remain at the Hospice of Beaune to care for the poor. Her account is followed by two additional prayers, also in French
