From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hours of Philip the Bold is a late 14th-century illuminated book of hours produced in Paris for Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy (1363-1404). It contains illustrated calendars, figured initials and 11 large miniatures with ivy borders, following the Paris liturgy. The manuscript has a devotional use. Philip reportedly recited his daily prayers from this manuscript.[1] His hours, which contains almost 200 images, is one of the most worldly manuscripts to survive from the library of the Burgundian Dukes.[1] It is now MS. 3-1954 in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
