ä = antiphona. This manuscript enables us to reconstruct the liturgy followed by the monks of a specific monastery. This text refers to the Paschal vigil and, in particular, to two prayer times: Vespers, around sunset before supper, and Compline, before bedtime. The other Canonical hours, after Compline, were Lauds around midnight, Prime at dawn, then Terce, Sext, Nones, and Vespers again. Item reference: [14- -?]. Go further The breviary could prompt theological research. For example, you could try to find out about aspects of devotional manuscripts and how they impacted on the religious experiences of laymen.

The breviary is illustrated so you could choose to focus on the illuminations. What do you think they say about visual culture in the Middle Ages? Often, medieval manuscripts are illustrated with depictions of fantastic or mythological beasts so you might want to explore whether these illustrations were created for entertainment or whether they carry symbolism. Another direction your research could take is a look at manuscript culture. How were medieval manuscripts made? Was it only devotional manuscripts that were created, or, were other subjects written about in this form? Do we have any evidence relating to the ways in which manuscripts were distributed? And used by their owners? Did owners customise their manuscripts in the ways that printed books would later be customised, for example, through annotation, doodling, etc.?
