The Hours of Leonor de Vega, created between 1465 and 1470 in Bruges, is an illuminated Christian prayer book that showcases the artistry of the Flemish illuminator Willem Vrelant, who was influenced by Jan van Eyck. A gift to Leonor's father, it was inherited by her. The book features numerous full-page miniatures illustrating key religious scenes, all adorned with vibrant colors and gold embellishments. The borders include flora, fauna, and fantastic creatures. Renowned for its illuminations, this manuscript also captures the important role of personal devotion among the nobility in late medieval Spain.

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.
