The Book of Hours made its first appearance in France in the
1st half of the 14th Century. Marginal ornament plays an important
part - whether in the form of tendrils + foliage or of a solid frame
decorated with animals, flowers, + precious stones. The Book of Hours
was usually written in the vernacular rather than Latin.
This was a book giving the prayers for laymen at each
hour of the day + was commissioned by princes + noblemen.
Similar in layout + richness of material was the breviaries
made fro bishops + abbots.
Psalter - for laymen - private devotion - in the form in which it appears at the beginning of the
13th C was the precursor of the Book of Hours. Psalters of this kind were an English invention.
