Title
Book of Hours (London, Lambeth Palace Library, MS 474)
Description
The book belonged to Richard III and to the Lady Margaret. But it is (except the added prayer) earlier than Richard's time. The collect for S. Ninian at the beginning is not in the main hand of the book, but is not much later. It should indicate an owner of Scotch connections.
