Are you as charmed by the Grandes Heures d'Anne de Bretagne as I am? I hope so! The Grandes Heures have the following main sections:
(1) calendar of monthly feasts;
(2) portraits of evangelists;
(3) life of Christ; and
(4) portraits of saints.
The portraits of the evangelists were posted yesterday. I hope to post the other three main sections soon.
A smallish number of pages do not fit into any of the four main sections. They are posted below.
