The Book of Hours

A Book of Hours, also Horarium or Horae, is a prayer and devotional book for the liturgy of the hours. Structurally, it resembles the breviary of the Roman Catholic Church, however, it was mainly intended for the use by laymen. Books of Hours were originally created in the 13th century and replaced the Psaltery which had previously been used as prayer books. They saw their heyday in the 14th/15th century and were widely used by the wealthy, literate nobility in Europe and were considered - depending on the purse of its owner - an important status symbol, and the splendor of their endowment therefore differed. Today some of the specimens made by Parisian masters are among the most magnificent manuscripts. With the emergence of the letterpress in the second half of the 15th century of the luxurious books did not disappear as status symbol, but they changed.
