Abstract Details

2011, Master of Liberal Studies, University of Toledo, Liberal Studies.
Examining the Book of Hours' inception offers a foundation for understanding how this important illustrated manuscript came to be and how the imagery aided the communication of the religious tenets. Exploring an exceptional Book of Hours from the Toledo Museum of Art, titled the Book of Hours of the Virgin (1955.28), we will discover the nuances of the integral elements—the core sections and their opening illuminations, the illuminations‘ stories, a translation of each section‘s Latin incipit, as well as a look at the artistic elements that adorn the text. A discussion of the location and period related to the book follows, ending with a comparison of illuminations attributed to the Master of Morgan 85 that are similar in nature to those found in the Book of Hours of the Virgin.
