This volume reproduces for the first time the full complement of miniatures and a selection of text pages from The Book of Hours of Margaret of Cleves. Produced in Holland probably in the closing years of the 14th century, the manuscript is one of the founding documents of a sustained, indigenous tradition of Dutch book illumination.
