"The happiest, sweetest, and liveliest little book imaginable."―John Canaday.
Near the end of the fifteenth century, a Flemish artist known only as The Master of Mary of Burgundy painted one of the last illuminated manuscripts for ENgelbert of Nassau, a member of the courts of rulers of the Netherlands from Charles the Bold to Philip the Fair. This edition reproduces this magnificent book, now in the Bodlein Library, Oxford, as closely as possible to the original."Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
