About this book
"A product for the royal court of France, the "Hours of Henry VIII," created around 1500 by Jean Poyet, is one of the most splendid Books of Hours to come down to us from this period. This illustrated lay book of daily devotions and prayers contains fifty-five hand-painted images that accompany the calendar, prayers to the Virgin Mary and the saints, extracts from the Bible, and prayers for the dead. They are all reproduced here in color for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.
