| This beautifully illustrated catalog, published in conjunction with a 1988 exhibition at The Walters Art Gallery, examines in detail the contents of the medieval Book of Hours — the "best seller" of the late Middle Ages — and discusses how these manuscripts, produced by the most skillful artists using the most precious materials, enlighten us about the piety of the medieval laity as well as enrich our understanding of medieval social life. The catalog provides scholars and researchers with invaluable data on these most important manuscripts. Designed by Vincent Torre and printed by Toppan Printing Company, Japan. Catalog produced in conjunction with an exhibition April 23 — July 17, 1988, at The Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore. Division One Winner, 1990.
