Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 4to (28.5 cm), 230 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "Books of Hours are the most famous illuminated manuscripts. These enchantingly decorated books of private devotion have entranced collectors for centuries. The Book of Hours in Medieval Art and Life is the result of an examination by Roger Wieck, Senior Curater at the Walters Art Gallery, of a thousand manuscript Books of Hours in American and European collections. He considers who used these manuscripts in the Middle Ages, why, when and how. Chapters by Lawrence Poos, Assistant Professor of History at the Catholic University of America and Virginia Reinberg, of Boston College, place Books of Hours in the social context of daily life in the fifteenth Century. Roger Wieck investigates how the manuscripts were assembled and takes the reader through each of the various sections and components oí a Book of Hours, describing and explaining their beautiful but often enigmatic illustrations. Finally, John Plummer, foremost American liturgical and manuscript historian and formerly Curator of Manuscripts at the Pierpont Morgan Library, unveils the results of many years' work in ingeniously localising Books of Hours by the endless and subtle variations in their text. The result is the most comprehensive compendium of work on Books of Hours." (from the publisher's synopsis).

Paperback. Second Edition. Tan wraps with colorful illustration and black lettering; 230 pp.; richly illustrated. "The illuminated manuscript was the primary vehicle of learning, religion, and art during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Within the pages of these hand-painted treasures, medieval civilization flourished. Of all the illuminated manuscripts from this period, the Book of Hours was, by far, the most popular and among the most exquisitely made. In the words of scholar L. M. J. Delaisse, it was the "best seller" of its time--the most frequently commissioned book by both the aristocracy and the middle classes. A selection of these splendid pages is presented in Time Sanctified, along with a detailed discussion of their importance and their contents. A prayer book for the laity, the Book of Hours contains, at its heart, a series of prayers devoted to the Virgin Mary, which were meant to be recited at seven canonical times (or hours) during the day. The most highly skilled calligraphers and painters were commissioned to execute the finest decoration with the most luxurious materials, such as gold, silver, and lapis lazuli. An understanding of the contents in the Book of Hours, both textually and pictorially, is essential to our understanding of not only late medieval piety, but of late medieval social life as well. The contributions of four authorities on Books of Hours guide the reader: Roger Wieck provides a detailed description of the contents of the Book of Hours, Lawrence Poos discusses its social context, Virginia Reinburg sheds light on the role of the Book of Hours in late medieval piety, and John Plummer provides essential textual analysis. The images are assembled from the Walters Collection, which contains one of the finest and largest collections of Books of Hours in the world. 40 color plates, 150 black-and-white photos."-- WorldCat.
