This facsimile is in a portable, convenient, and easy to use form, making it perfect for both the novel collector, the student & the worshipper of Christ Jesus of Nazareth, The King of kings, Son of man, Son of God, & the only Good Shepard.
If I didn’t violently stop myself, I would have taken pictures of everything. It’s so gorgeous! Paint it Black! Boy that was a lot of ink! This Book of Hours is part of many varying Books of Hours. They’re what we call today, a type of devotional book. And how beautiful they are. Someone personally painted this from the heart about 700 years. If it doesn’t speak, why do we hear the shouting of praise of worship?
This is so unique, yet perfect, because it comes from the heart. Oh how beautiful so many things in the old Christian West were.
For all Christians, this is a part of our history, and therefore, worth becoming acquainted with if not already familiar. And those who are familiar know that it’s impossible to get a facsimile of this specific book, whether in color or not, for under $100, if not more. Too many want to put everything into a box, projecting our own stupidity on the past; “Protestant this”, “Catholic that”. I wish more Catholics would take pride in the great Pope Leo X who risked his life to make the reformation successful, without whom, there wouldn’t have been anything for Tyndale translate, nor a KJV. On that note, I wish more Protestants did the same as well. Have we not all learned the hard way that words & labels serve to confuse reality? What is identity politics but smoke, & who is blowing it? Is war ever clear? Why were both Pope Leo X & Erasmus tutors to King Charles V who began the charge into the Americas?
Why was Erasmus’ 1st book ever translated into English, translated by Tyndale, that book being, “The Christian Knight”? Why is there so very much that none of us know of our history? Why do we not see that it was a defeat for no Christian, but a great victory against the same forces that be rearing their head again today? Oh Father, open up our hearts and let us hear the faithful words of your servant Paul when he condemned labelling ourselves as anything other than lovers of Christ Jesus The Son of God, and You Who sent Him. LORD, let it Rain. Our God of Heaven & Earth, let it pour.
