- Description
- MS Bodleian Library Hatton 4, a combined hours and psalter, contains borders created by two Ellesmere limners.
- Comparison of the borders in the two manuscripts shows "the methodology of using borderwork as a codicological tool"; strengthens "the existing case for locating the limners in London"; and suggests a date for Ellesmere of 1400-1405.
