This day, comprising morning and afternoon sessions, will focus on four, French Books of Hours produced in the 15th and 16th centuries, which have not featured in previous manuscript study days. Close observation of materials, techniques, and the relationship between texts and illustrations will reveal fascinating evidence of 15th-16th century devotional practices and aesthetic taste.
