English translation of a variety of texts from women's books of
hours, with introduction, notes, and an interpretive essay. The
book of hours is said to have been the most popular book owned by
the laity in the later Middle Ages. This volume brings together a
selection of texts taken from books of hours known to have been
owned by women. While some will be familiar from bibles or
prayer-books, others have to be sought in specialist publications,
often embedded in other material, and a few have not until now been
available at all in modern editions or translations. The texts
arecomplemented by an introduction setting the book of hours in its
context, an interpretive essay, glossary and annotated
bibliography.
