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.; PDF; History & Transport > Humanities > Regional & national history > European history, Cambridge University Press<
