Offices or prayer book written ca. 1600[?] by Iacobus Tarranus of Rome, who also copied an Officio della Beata Vergine Maria (see American Art Association, 20 December 1920, lot 567, the sale of a "Notable American Collection" (Oliver R. Barrett) to Sen. David A. Reed, and De Ricci, 495, n. 11). This manuscript may once have been part of a larger manuscript which included an office of the Virgin.
