Just Arrived! 15th Century Book of Hours Leaf. We've have recently obtained several beautiful 14th and 15th Century, Book of Hours leaves.

Its central text is the Hours of the Virgin, from which this leaf comes. There are eight hours (times for prayer): Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline.
