Books of Hours survived the Middles Ages and Renaissance relatively well. They were the personal prayer books of a devout and status-conscious society and therefore well made and looked after. They were not only works of art but also cultural documents of the time. This book looks at the history of the books of hours, the most famous ones and the people behind them. With superb illustrations, 72 of them in colour.
