The Book of Hours, Use of Rome (commonly referred to as the Golf Book) is the remnant of a Book of Hours illuminated manuscript dating from the 1540s and preserved the collection of the British Library, London. Created by the illuminator Simon Bening and his studio in Bruges, only 23 pages remain of the original. It owes its popular name to one illustration in the calendar, with people playing a game resembling that of golf.[1] It is presumed to have been made for a Swiss patron as the book includes a miniature painting of Boniface of Lausanne.[2]
