George Braziller, New York, first edition, 2000. Cloth, 4to, 29 cm,. x, 194 pp, 58 colour and 45 black-and-white illustrations. From the blurb: "A product for the royal court of France, the "Hours of Henry VIII," created around 1500 by Jean Poyet, is one of the most splendid Books of Hours to come down to us from this period. This magnificently illustrated lay book of daily devotions and prayers contains fifty-five exquisitely hand-painted images that accompany the calendar, prayers to the Virgin Mary and the saints, extracts from the Bible, and prayers for the dead. They are all reproduced here in color for the first time.
