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. Women were often patrons or
owners of such books, which were usually illustrated: indeed, the
earliest surviving exemplar made in England was designed and
illustrated by William de Brailes in Oxford in the mid-thirteenth
century, for an unknown young lady whom he portrayed in the book
several times. 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 are complemented by an
introduction setting the book of hours in its context, an
interpretive essay, glossary and annotated bibliography.
