erikkwakkel: damienkempf: We know of only a few examples of heart-shaped Books of Hours, all dating from the 15th or the 16th century. Here is the list of the four presented here: Biblioteca Oliveriana, 1144, 16th c. KB, Thott 1510, 1550s. BnF, latin 10536, 15th c. BnF, Rothschild 297, 15th c. Rare but attractive - and difficult to produce - type medieval manuscript. Well, I know my next bookbinding project. -- source link
