Description: A series of miniatures of events in the lives of Saints, one for every day in the year from Sept. 2 to Aug. 31, arranged in groups of four on a page: [two leaves (Feb. 6-20) are wanting after fol. 27]. Preceding them are ten full-page miniatures of the Life of Christ, four more having been lost after fol. 3, and after them, on foll. 54v, 55r, are seven miniatures from the Life of Demetrius. An iambic poem of 24 lines explains that the volume was painted for the help and consolation of Demtrius' soul. This Demetrius was perhaps a son of Demetrius Angelus Comnenus Ducas, who married a daughter of Michael Palaeologus, and lived in the middle of the 14th century. Cf.
