Yes, highly disturbing indeed. To this day.

Disturbing?! What a ridiculous thing to write. These books were made to help their owners pray at set times during the day. You have an extremely warped mind.

@@georgeeliot2012 Ok, weirdo. Get some help.

That's what kept families together and the Catholic Church had thousands and thousands of saints in those days. Today we live in an upside down world where Evil is Good and Good is Evil and where COMMUNISM has 'a hold on people.

@@georgeeliot2012and because of hair dyed apostates like you and the other heretic above, society and the world is at rock bottom and leading both of you currently to hell… the reality hasn’t changed, just the perspective. You are just the product of a vile media, wicked government, and Masonic education. May you find God

No, These books were made to help their owners pray at set times during the day.

That is correct! That is why this is the Flemish Heritage Library.

​@@natalieyoder686 at 11.58, the speaker says " contain texts in dutch or flemish " ... at the time’ the word " dutch " was not used for the language, only " flamish " Also, i think the name of the library refers to the current Flanders province. Also, i’am surprised the users can handle these books without cooton white gloves ...

​@@rntablette9388you keep writing Flemish and Flamish. Which one do you mean ?? Also, please do research or simply see the educated replies to the many other ignorant people saying the same thing about the white gloves...

@@Pugggle i would write " Vlaams " .... for the gloves, search " archives nationales rouleau templiers ” you will see actual professionals using gloves.

The first sentence is probably the most extraordinary sentence I've ever read.

​@@Laurentio313 Fine. I came upon it working on the rationale for the RC Eucharistic Renewal of the late 19th Century, when the last asset of the body behind it imploded on our neighbourhood. The foundress' hiistory, signed, came into my hands, and pointed straight back at Pope Eugenius IV, which invoked Dufay's Papal Coronation Anthem Ecclesie Militate, Church Take Arms!, putting a crusade against the Ottoman threat to the HRE Austro-Hungarian vassals on the table. He followed it up with L'Homme Arme, the greatest hit of all time, with around 80 remixes - Sir Karl Jenkins' Armed Man is currently #3 on ClassicFM's all-time Top 300. I then had a firm pointer towards the Levensbron in the Prado, which clearly spoke the same language, and the recent revalidation of the work based on the dendrochronology, putting it in the Parral at the same time van Eyck was on mission. We may have a lost original here, as it's visually about the same size as Eugenius' Eucharistic Chapel on Rue des Sols in Brussels. This was demolished in 1955, but not before an exact copy was built on Rue van Maerlant in Brussels: it's now the European Commission's chapel. There's probably a Doctorate on offer on the subject of van Eyck the Diplomat, if anyone's interested, go talk to Till. Both opuses are contemporary and matched Ruusbroec's Spiritual Tabernacle, leaving the author open: Professor Laura Smoller pointed me towards d'Ailly and Professor Bernard Scouller's biography in Beyond Church and State. Ruusbroec passed the ball in two directions, Gerardus Groot, Windesheim, Eugenius, Devotio Moderna, Enlightenment, and in his writings, Jean Gerson for theological placet. Gerson alerted d'Ailly, and he found common cause with the HRE. I'm currently researching the family, as Joan of Arc, who sinks the entire project, is from the same lineage. Till's counterpart for Dufay is Yale's Professor Craig Wright, in his The Maze and the Warrior. In 2020, he shifted from History of Music to head their new Genius School, and searching for the truth of my own persona led me to read his The Hidden Habits of Genius, and tick most of the boxes: as I played fair and demonstrated how his own work was part of a far wider vision, and considering I've a decent share of the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, it's likely I qualify.

@@JelMain I'll try understanding the depth of your comments when sobered up.

@@ayaygabriel For ref, peer revied by Charles Burnett at the Warburg Institute. I came on it from the heritage of the modern Eucharist which had collapsed around my ears, Anna de Meeus' vocation having come from Eugenius. He's invoking Konrad von Urach's Terarken in Brussels, the culmination of his cousin Simon IV de Montfort's Templars' famous raid on Solomon's Stables.

The British Library runs a basic bookbinding day course, based around their restoration workshop. You can see from the spine it's conventionally bound, which may be anachronistic. Also The Archaeology of Medieval Bookbinding by J. A. Szirmai

Was hat dieses hervorragende Erzeugnis europäischer Kultur in den USA zu suchen? Wer hat es gestohlen und dorthin gebracht? Warum wird es nicht zurückgegeben?

Thank you! You are probably right... We were lucky to be able to borrow the dress and head gear from the BBC, who were shooting a production in Bruges, but we didn't borrow their stylist :-) And shaving my forehead was not an option for me :-D

@@evelienhauwaerts4750 wonderful nevertheless! lovely work!

Thank you! The authors: most of these texts are anonymous. There was a set structure, but it allowed for variations (depending on period, region, commissioner...). If you want to learn more about the texts in books of hours, I can recommend reading Time Sanctified: The Book of Hours in Medieval Art and Life (Roger Wieck e.a.), Marking the Hours: English People and their Prayers 1240 - 1570 (Eamon Duffy), and this website: www.medievalist.net/hourstxt/home.htm.

ook op kleur, maar dan van achter naar voor.

These were known as dominical letters, and they could be used to calculate which day was Sunday. If the first day of the month was a Tuesday, the calendar’s user would have to remember that A = Tuesday, B = Wednesday, C = Thursday, and so on for the rest of the month.
