François de Sales Horæ Diurnæ or Book of Hours circa 1400

January 19, 2019 by Brandon

Date: 15th Century

Owner: Brigham Young University, Harold B. Lee Library, Special Collections

Measurements: 98 x 70 x 35 mm

Previous Condition:

Vellum splaying, spine damage, housing solution

Treatment:

Hinge repair on spine- exterior and interior, Magnetic wrapper housing

This book is the smallest and oldest that I have repaired in the collection. It also inspired me to make my own little Medieval book.

François de Sales Horæ Diurnæ or Book of Hours circa 1400, the author of L’Amour de Dieu, Love of God. This small book is Sales personal book of hours or prayers, he would have most likely had this book tucked away in a pocket of his robes and retrieved every hour it was time to pray, and he would recite the prayers.
