Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 68v, c. 1470. In the late 1400s and early 1500s Rouen was an established and important center of book production. The citys cathedral had a wealthy chapter that spent large sums of money to commission books and to maintain its extensive library. The stationers and booksellers would have likely been concentrated in or near the cathedral precinct.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 68v, c. 1470" created by the esteemed Master of the Geneva Latini during the late 15th century in Rouen, France. During this period, Rouen flourished as a prominent hub for book production and boasted an affluent cathedral chapter that invested substantial resources in commissioning books and maintaining an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece earned their name from a manuscript currently housed in Geneva, signifying their status as Rouen's foremost illuminator during the latter half of the 1400s. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship on display here are testament to their exceptional talent.
