Book of Hours
(Manuscripts and Rare Books, Medieval Europe )
This Book of Hours was illuminated between 1460 and 1470 under the influence of Willem Vrelant in Bruges. The manuscript contains seven extant inserted full-page miniatures (eight others are now missing), and their accompanying foliate borders teem with charming grotesques, many of which are holding and reading books.
