See Hilary Maddocks, “A book of hours by Anthoine Vérard in the University of Melbourne Library,” University of Melbourne Collections 16 (June 2015):15-24 about a similar copy in the University of Melbourne Library, providing background on the publisher, artists, and book trade in early 16th century Paris.
Books of hours were a popular form of private devotion for lay people. Some, which were richly illustrated and illuminated, were luxury items and a symbol of status. The books followed the monastic tradition of reciting the Divine Liturgy in eight sessions throughout the day. Many prayers, litanies of saints, and calendars were standard texts, but its central text was the Hours of the Virgin, also known as the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Full text linkManuscript on vellum (13 unnumbered leaves), bound: color illustrations, illuminations; 167 x 135 mm, bound to 172 x 140 mm
Calendar of saints\u27 feast days from a French Book of Hours, use of Paris, which was evidently intact in the late 18th century when the descriptive note on the original first flyleaf was handwritten and dated 4 February 1792 by one \u27Rouxeau\u27, priest of Le Loroux-Bottereau. Rouxeau is assumed to be Julien-Pierre Rouxeau (1734-1811); the calendar as currently bound includes the 19th century bookplace of H. Arthur Baker.
Date is estimated from the 18th century owner\u27s handwritten comment: Ces heures, aussi belle qui anciennes, sont ecrites a la main vers la fin du 14e siecle.https://ecommons.udayton.edu/ul_rare_books/1022/thumbnail.jp
