The first
proper examination of British
Library, Yates Thompson MS. 37 was Sydney Cockerell's description for
Henry Yates Thompson's catalogue, in which he wrote:
“Provenance. In a miniature on f. 92 a man in a rich red
robe kneels before the Virgin and Child. He somewhat resembles the
portraits of Jean Duke of Berry, and the fact that the Hours are of
the use of Bourges makes it not unreasonable to conjecture that the
book was intended for that great collector, though there is no
signature or coat of arms to make it certain.”
