Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of medieval prayer books, specifically focusing on a unique manuscript containing the *Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary*. Discovered in the Diocese of Chichester, England, it dates back to the 15th century, during the Episcopate of Reginald Pecock. The manuscript's significance lies in its blend of traditional Anglican prayers with unique additions. It features a calendar that reflects the specific customs of Chichester, including the celebration of St. Richard, the Bishop and Patron Saint of Chichester, and St. Birinus, the first Bishop of Dorchester. The inclusion of a prayer to St. Erasmus, patron saint of sailors, further reinforces the book's connection to the Diocese, which boasts a significant coastline. The book examines the manuscript's artistic style, highlighting the exquisite miniatures and lettering characteristic of the Lancastrian era, providing a glimpse into the aesthetic and devotional practices of the time. It also delves into the historical context of the manuscript, analyzing the influence of Bishop Pecock and exploring the broader cultural landscape of 15th-century England, where the use of the vernacular language in prayer and devotional texts was gaining traction. This book offers a compelling exploration of a remarkable medieval artifact, providing insights into the religious and cultural practices of a specific time and place, while also shedding light on the broader evolution of religious expression in England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
