Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 9r, c. 1470. Creator: Master of the Geneva Latini (French
Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 9r, 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. This artist, named after a manuscript now in Geneva, was Rouens principal illuminator during the second half of the 1400s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Book of Hours (Use of Rouen), specifically folio 9r, dating back to around 1470. Created by the talented Master of the Geneva Latini, an esteemed French illuminator active in Rouen during the late 15th century, this exquisite manuscript is a testament to the city's prominence as a hub for book production. During this period, Rouen boasted a thriving book industry centered around its cathedral. The cathedral's affluent chapter invested substantial resources in commissioning books and maintaining an extensive library. It is likely that stationers and booksellers were concentrated in or near the cathedral precinct, contributing to Rouen's reputation as an important center for literary arts. The image itself portrays intricate details rendered with ink, tempera, and gold on vellum—a luxurious material made from animal skin—typical of high-quality manuscripts from this era. Its delicate craftsmanship and vibrant colors are indicative of the Master of Geneva Latini's exceptional skill as an illuminator. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into both medieval religious practices and artistic traditions. It serves as a reminder of Rouen's historical significance in shaping Europe's cultural heritage through its contributions to book production during one of history’s most transformative periods—the late Middle Ages.
