Summary
This is a remarkably large and lavishly illuminated Book of Hours, combining French and English styles. The first leaf contains a list of obits members of the royal family and of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Earls of Ormond and their wives, so it was probably made for Anne Boleyn's grandfather, Thomas Butler (1426-1515), 7th Earl of Ormond, or a member of his family. It was given in the early 16th century to a chapel at 'Suthwyke', probably Southwick in Hampshire. This small miniature, showing a kneeling layman aided by an angel, introduces a prayer to a guardian angel. Although it is not a life-like 'portrait', the layman is doubtless intended to represent the original owner of the manuscript.
