The Hours of Margaret of Bourbon is a richly illuminated manuscript of the mid-fifteenth century created in France for Margaret of Bourbon, a noblewoman. It is a Christian devotional book and features a series of prayers, psalms, and the Office of the Dead. The manuscript features exquisite miniatures with detailed scenes depicting biblical subjects and intricate borders filled with vibrant colors and floral designs. The book's artistry reflects the high social status of its owner, and its text, including two French-language prayers, offers insight into the spiritual practices of the French nobility.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
