The Book of Hours was a 'best-seller' in medieval and early modern
Europe, the era's most commonly produced and owned book. This
interdisciplinary study explores its increasing popularity and
prestige, offering a full account of the Book of Hours as a book -
how it was acquired, how it was read to guide prayer and teach
literacy and what it meant to its owners as a personal possession.
Based on the study of over 500 manuscripts and printed books from
France, Virginia Reinburg combines a social history of the Book of
Hours with an ethnography of prayer. Approaching the practice of
prayer as both speech and ritual, she argues that a central part of
the Book of Hours' appeal for lay people was its role as a bridge
between the liturgy and the home. Reinburg describes how the Book
of Hours shaped religious practice through the ways in which it was
used.
