The Hours of Louis of Orléans is a prayer book for personal Christian devotions. It was made in France, presumably in 1490, for a patron whose emblem was a flaming tree (shown in some of the borders). He is pictured in the manuscript as a young man in prayer within a miniature of the Creation of Eve. The book is named for the future Louis XII, King of France, who owned it early in its history. It is distinguished by its ninety large miniatures, including biblical scenes rarely found in private prayer books.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
