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. Its painter gave new visual form to the imagery of prayer in this manuscript and fashioned a series of illustrations of the Passion which is among the most inventive and powerful treatments of this subject produced anywhere in Europe. Chapters consider the patron and her world, the contents and form of the manuscript, the oeuvre of the Master of Margaret of Cleves, the place of the painter in the artistic traditions of his time, and his possible identity.
