small 4to., stiff paper wrappers. 64 pages. ISBN 0962593427. $19.95 $14.96
First edition. The Connolly Book of Hours is a beautiful example of fifteenth-century French manuscript art preserved
in the collection of the John J. Burns Library at Boston College. Comprised of gospel readings, commemorative
prayers for the saints and the Little Office of Our Lady, this Book of Hours provided a wide range of topics for the
decorations of the medieval artist. This publication, the first to bring the glories of the Connolly Hours to the
attention of the public, examines the historical context of the creation and use of illuminated manuscripts, details
several of the lesser known Latin prayers used in the book, and offers modern French and English translations of
the three vernacular prayers that conclude the text. Reflections by members of the Boston College community on
the personal meaning they found in these brilliantly rendered illuminations accompanies each of the thirty-two
color facsimile plates and descriptive iconography. [Order No. 63805]
