EDITORS COMMENTS
August 1846: A Glimpse into the Medieval World of the Duke Anjou's Book of Hours This exquisite illuminated calendar print from Henry Noel Humphreys' "The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary for 1846" transports us back to the medieval world of the Duke Anjou's Book of Hours, housed in the Bibliotheque Royale in Paris. The calendar for August features a stunning depiction of Saints Joel and Bartholomew, with the quote from Thessalonians, "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." The top half of the image showcases the figures of Saints Joel and Bartholomew. Saint Joel, depicted as an elderly man with a book and a staff, is the patron saint of farmers and agricultural workers. Saint Bartholomew, represented as a strong and muscular man, is the patron saint of butchers, leatherworkers, and hermits. The bottom half of the image is adorned with a woman weighing wheat on a scale, symbolizing justice, while birds and foliage surround her. In the background, castles and other architectural structures add to the medieval ambiance. The August calendar also includes figures of other biblical figures, such as Micah and Matthew, further emphasizing the religious significance of this illuminated manuscript. This chromolithograph, a printing process that uses multiple lithographic stones, is richly colored and gilt, showcasing the intricate details and beauty of the original manuscript. The Duke Anjou's Book of Hours, created around 1380, is a prime example of the art of illumination in the late medieval period. This calendar print offers a glimpse into the intricacies and beauty of this historical art form, making it a cherished addition to any collection or study of medieval art and religious history.
