In this richly illustrated book religious historian Eamon Duffy discusses the Book of Hours" unquestionably the most intimate & most widely used book of the later Middle Ages. He examines surviving copies of the personal prayer books which were used for private domestic devotions & in which people commonly left traces of their lives.

He looks closely at several special volumes including the cherished " Book of Hours" that Sir Thomas More kept with him in the Tower of London as he awaited execution." ...
