La Biblioteca Diocesana de Córdoba custodia un Libro de Horas de principios del siglo XVI que ha pasado desapercibido para la crítica especializada. Pretendemos con este artículo dar a conocer este manuscrito iluminado por Pedro Machuca durante sus primeros años de formación en Italia y realizado para Fernando de Aragón, duque de Calabria ―heredero de la casa real napolitana que nunca llegó a reinar―. Quizá llegó a Córdoba entre los libros de la biblioteca del obispo Angulo que legó en testamento en 1516 a la catedral de su sede episcopal. En el anexo final presentamos imágenes a doble página de los primeros doce folios, los únicos que fueron miniados.
The Diocesan Library of Córdoba conserves a Book of Hours from the beggining of the 16thcentury that has gone unnoticed by specialists. The aim of this article is to make this manuscript more widely known. It was illuminated by Pedro Machuca during the early years of his training in Italy and intended for Ferdinand of Aragon, Duke of Calabria and heir of the royal house of Naples, which he never ruled. It might have come toCórdoba among the books included in Bishop Angulo’s library that was bequeathed in his will to the cathedral of his episcopal see in 1516. All the illuminated pages are reproduced in an appendix.
