Book Description
Excerpt from A Psalter and Hours Executed Before 1270 for a Lady Connected With St. Louis, Probably His Sister Isabelle of France, Founder of the Abbey of Longchamp, Now in the Collection of Henry Yates Thompson: Described by S. C. Cockerell in Relation to the Companion Psalter of St. Louis in Paris, With Photogravures of All the Miniatures by Emery Walker Kalendar. This is beautifully written in alternate lines of blue and burnished gold, each month occupying a page. The letters KL are inscribed ln pink and blue on a square gold panel at the head of each month, but, curiously enough in a book of this magnificence, there are no illustrations of the Labours of the Months or of the Signs of the Zodiac. This remark applies also to the Paris volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
