Summary

Description
English: Detail from a folio (page) of the Maastricht Book of Hours (BL Stowe MS17), an illuminated manuscript mainly known for its lively depictions of animals and half-animals. The book of hours was probably made for an aristocratic lady in the Liège-Maastricht area in the first quarter of the 14th century. In the 18th century it was owned by the 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, who in 1849 sold it to Lord Ashburham. In 1883 it was purchased by the British Library as part of the Stowe collection. Folio f255v depicts scenes from the life of Theophilus of Adana (who made a pact with the devil). This detail shows him as an archdeacon doing his ecclesiastic duties.
