Description
"Selected from precious fourteenth- and fifteenth-century manuscripts-many of which have never before been published, these pages from books of hours are arranged and annotated as a guide to understanding both the prayers and the illustrations the books contain. They are also an invitation to readers young and old to dream, to savor, and to immerse themselves in their ardor and mystery and to take delight in some of the most beautiful works of European art."--Back of book
