This Breviary was intended for the use of the cathedral church of Besançon. It was ordered by Charles Neufchâtel, archbishop of Besançon 1463-98. However, the archbishop was exiled from his diocese in 1480 and fled to Normandy. This manuscript, made soon after 1480, was probably illuminated in Rouen for the archbishop's chapel in exile.
The miniature on folio 485 shows the great annual procession of the Holy Sacrament.
