Descripción

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. Full red cloth boards. Small tears on edge worn dust jacket with sticker residue on spine. 8 1/2"w x 11 1/4"h. 230 pages. 40 color plates and 200 b&w illustrations. The Book of Hours "A prayer book for the laity, it was also the most frequently commissioned book by both the aristocracy and the middle classes. Its core is a series of prayers devoted to the Virgin Mary, who was deeply venerated in the late medieval era, and which were meant to be recited, ideally, at seven established canonical times (or hours) during the day. An understanding of the contents of the Book of Hours, both textually and pictorially, is essential to our understanding of late medieval piety as well as social life." [blurb]
