Catholic Prayers and Devotions - Books of Hours

Description

One publishing trend of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries was the production of printed Books of Hours. Replacing hand-illuminated manuscripts with moveable type, woodcuts, and interchangeable marginal motifs, printers created a mass-produced book available to more readers than ever before. This copy, printed on vellum, is embellished with hand-painted gold initials and other ornamentation in imitation of fine manuscripts.
