BACKGROUND:
•The book of hours is a Christian devotional book popular in the Middle Ages. It is the most common type of surviving medieval illuminated manuscript. Like every manuscript, each manuscript book of hours is unique in one way or another, but most contain a similar collection of texts, prayers and psalms, often with appropriate decorations, for Christian devotion. Illumination or decoration is minimal in many examples, often restricted to decorated capital letters at the start of psalms and other prayers, but books made for wealthy patrons may be extremely lavish, with full-page miniatures. Books of hours were usually written in Latin.
•Despite their strongly religious origin, the books served more as status symbols and fashion accessories than paths to heaven, a fact testified to in the large number of copies that survive in exceptional condition. Most Books of Hours are illuminated manuscripts, beautifully written out by hand on vellum, with ornate initial letters in each section, decorative page borders, and-in the better examples-delicate paintings, which are called miniatures.
CONDITION:
•Condition is Good/Very Good. Some wear to edges, some darkening/soiling to boards in person, Edward Arnold bookplate, removed paper/maybe another bookplate to verso 1st end page/next blank, few written words to verso last end page, Sotheby's sale 12/8/1975, missing last blank might be one of the Italian prayer pages, not sure, some pages with rubbing/blemishing, blemishing to extreme edges, few trimmed edges of miniatures (most to Jesus/Hell miniature, most pages are very good, hinges/text block are very good!
