The Little Office or Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary can be found with minor variations in most books of hours. Sections from the Hours of the Cross, or the entire Office, are often interwoven with the Little Office, especially in English books of hours. Most of the psalms at vespers and compline of the Little Office are taken from the Gradual Psalms, strongly associated with Mary by the popular tradition that she recited them as she ascended the steps of the temple on the occasion of her Presentation. The exceptions are psalm 12 and psalm 25 at compline. In Isabel Ruddok's Hours, a single commemoration from the Hours of the Cross is added at the end of each Hour of the Little Office. Compline, the last Hour of the day, is often followed by additional prayers, and by the anthem Salve regina, as it is here. Following the Little Office and its additional prayers and anthem, on fol. 46, there is written twice, on both sides of the leaf, perhaps in Isabel Ruddok's own hand: Da michi Issabelle Ruddok famule tue victoriam contra inimicos meos ‘Grant me, your servant Isabel Ruddok, victory over my enemies’. For Isabel's own prayer, see text 21.
