Description
Printed books of hours follow very closely the conventions of hand-written specimens, and indeed, printed and manuscript versions co-existed for some time. In this example, published in 1500 by Simon Vostre (d. 1522?) with the assistance of printer and engraver Phillippe Pigouchet (fl. 1488–1526), the letterforms, text layout, metal-cut borders, and illustrations are all modeled on those in contemporary hand-painted examples.
