The Croy Hours has so many drolleries it has become known as The Book of Drolleries. The manuscript is in the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. 1858, fol. 55.

Some of the best-known artists of the Ghent-Bruges school of illumination are thought to have contributed to the Croy Hours, namely Gerard Horenbout and Simon Bening (who was also responsible for the miniatures in the Da Costa Hours, amongst others). The work also apparently shows the supervisory influence of Gerard David. --Giornale Nuovo[1]
