This precious volume is very rich in initials decorated with vibrant colors on a burnished gold background, and in illuminations depicting the Evangelists and the scenes of Christ’s life.

The Codex is a Book of Hours: the Christian Liturgy had very precise rules on the recitation of prayers and devotions, that had to be done in specific hours of the day. 

To answer the need of the lay faithfuls more and more book of hours were created.

The figurative cycle used in the calendar of the “Livre de Lautes et Dèvotionis” reflects the tradition of the agricultural works and of the zodiac signs of each month, and uses images typical of similar French and Flemish manuscripts.

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.
