Publisher Comments:

Probably the most famous of all medieval manuscripts, a 'Book of Hours' is a glittering compendium of different devotional texts, which by the end of the thirteenth century had become the favourite book of ordinary people throughout Western Europe.

Synopsis:

This edition brings together selections taken from examples of the "Book of Hours". The pages are positioned in the order in which they would have appeared in a traditional "Book of Hours". Short texts provide an explanation of the scenes depicted and the significance of the various prayers.
