The Dutch Breviary in Toruń is a finely decorated personal Christian devotional manuscript produced in Utrecht in the second quarter of the fifteenth century. The book, probably owned by a layperson, features a calendar and prayers in Dutch. The manuscript's one historiated initial shows the Virgin and Child in a sparse landscape against a brilliant gold ground. There are dozens of painted borders with fleshy acanthus scrolls inhabited by angels, birds, quadrupeds, and fantastic creatures.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
