Earlier they would be in Latin, but they used them later, and I'm sure some were in Old French. One of my commenters said she wrote a paper on a 15th c. Book of Hours when she was in college, so some would be in English too. I'd love to own one but they're probably all in museums (sigh).Joyce Moorehttp://www.joycemoorebooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386077972421065740.post-48195409743909829682010-01-05T12:11:17.968-05:002010-01-05T12:11:17.968-05:00JAD: Hi, and thanks for the comment.

(It's here, if you'd like to see it http://grailmaiden.crazedfanboy.com/medart/clovio.html ) I even have a little replica of the book on my shelf. A nice little investment, but it was worth it.
