这是一部精美绝伦的全新复刻版，再现了中世纪最奢华、最著名的手抄本之一。

这部祈祷书由贝里公爵让于十五世纪初委托制作，堪称史上最伟大的祈祷书之一，也是中世纪流传至今最重要的手稿。它色彩绚丽、细节丰富、极尽奢华，囊括了最精美的中世纪日历，并因此成为中世纪艺术的瑰宝。

这部祈祷书由三位佛兰德斯艺术家——林堡兄弟保罗、约翰和赫尔曼——在206张上等小牛皮纸上精心手工绘制而成，是印刷术发明前书籍制作艺术的无与伦比的丰碑。书中对自然世界的浓厚兴趣以及在精美插图中对自然的写实描绘，预示了荷兰和佛兰德斯文艺复兴时期的艺术风格。

这部手稿近期在卢浮宫最先进的设施中完成修复，修复人员运用最先进的成像技术对其进行了深入研究，得以分析数百个细节。本书以最精美的复制品为基础，并配以专家撰写的文字，为读者提供了对艺术家创作手法及其精妙绝伦的插图的全新而深刻的理解。

A splendid new reproduction of the most luxurious and most famous example of medieval illumination.

Commissioned by Jean, Duke of Berry, in the early years of the fifteenth century, this devotional volume is among the greatest books of hours ever produced—and certainly the most important manuscript to survive the Middle Ages. Exuberant, detailed, and impossibly lavish, it encapsulates the most exquisite medieval calendar, which has become famous in its own right as a crown jewel of medieval art.

Painstakingly made by hand on 206 sheets of the finest calfskin by three Flemish artists—the Limbourg brothers Paul, Johan, and Herman—this book of hours is unrivaled as a monument to the art of making books prior to the printing press. The keen interest in the natural world and the naturalistic means of representing it in the striking illuminations foreshadow the work of the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance.

Recently restored at the Louvre’s state-of-the-art facilities, the manuscript was explored in depth using the best imaging techniques and allowing hundreds of details to be analyzed. This volume is based on the finest reproductions possible, along with expert text that provides an entirely new and profound understanding of the artists’ methods and their sublime illuminations.
