Master of Mary of Burgundy: A Book of Hours for Engelbert of Nassau
by J.J.G. Alexander
Near the end of the fifteenth century, a Flemish artist, known only as Master Mary of Burgundy, painted one of the last great illuminated manuscripts for Engelbert of Nassau. We have reproduced this work, now in the Bodlein Library at Oxford, as closely as possible to the original, maintaining its exact size and the luminosity of all of the colors, including the gold leaf. The margins contain still-lifes of countless brilliant objects, while the center pages show biblical scenes set in delicate landscapes. This book is indeed a lasting treasure.
