Medieval Books of Hours in the Public Library of Bruges

What a wonderful production. Thank you.

11:39 what a beautiful song at the, the video does it good job of conveying the worldview of the time through books of hours

I am always pulled to the Book of Hours from Bruges at the Museum of Art in Columbia, SC. I really am enjoying getting some History on this Book. Not just sitting behind a case trying to figure it out. I do love walking thru their 27 galleries

Very informative and wonderful, thank you for this production.

Wonderful !!! Modern society knows little or next to nothing about life during the Middle Ages. Thank you for a lovely bit of historical reality seen through the eyes of this extraordinary Book !! ❤

Prachtig in beeld gebracht, sfeervol geacteerd en muzikaal begeleid. Laten we hopen dat deze montage de interesse van velen kan wekken. Proficiat.

I've worked with Till Holger Borchert resetting the context of van Eyck's Mystic Lamb / Levensbron against Dufay's L'Homme Arme as the quadrivium facets of Jan van Ruusbroec's van het geetelijken tabernakel. The context is in Professor Bernard Guenee's biography of Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly, where Ruusbroec's posthumous collection lands on Jean Gerson's desk for posthumous imprimatur - he notifies his mentor d'Ailly, and they realise that inverting the power structure of the Papal Concilium to restore Supremacy is needful. This fits HRE needs, so they convene the Council of Constance, and the HRE Burgundian Vassals team up with England to destroy Valois at Agincourt. Everything's on hold during Martin V's papacy, but when he's passed, the Windesheim graduate Eugenius IV takes up the ball, which is why there's a 50 year gap.

thank you

Ik heb weer iets interessants bijgeleerd, dankjewel

the music is beautiful. What was the last piece?

Very informative, nicely presented video. However, I wanted to have some information about the style the floral illuminations, initials, technique, materials used, and also to know about the binding process, not ONLY, exclusively about miniatures.! Unfortunately this part was completely ignored by the creators of this video.

whats the first piece of music?

Very nice production and great presentation! I would like to know more about the authors of those books. Was the text in those books always the same and codified for the purposes?

What about the a b c d e f g instead of Monday Tuesday Wednesday, and what about the letters before that

beautiful! small question: is a noblewoman's hair supposed to be visible when wearing a hennin? i thought no...

at that time, the language was named " flamish " , not dutch

❤️

belgian people are very clean

And nowadays, people treat books like shit because it is made cheap and not too costy.

They put it on a pillow but aren't using gloves?
