Book was removed from publisher's wrap to inspect. "The Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry is today probably the most highly regarded Medieval Book of Hours. All its sumptuous miniatures are here reproduced along with enlarged details. The brief accompanying text provides a description of each scene and a summary of relevant art historical scholarship, while brief essays at the end of the volume address such topics as the life of Jean de Berry and the history of the manuscript to the present. The reproductions will appeal to general readers and young people as well as to scholars, but some of the text will be difficult for those with no background in art history. Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.Ln. Cincinnati"---Reed Business Information, Inc.
