Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 81r, c. 1470. In the late 1400s and early 1500s Rouen was an established and important center of book production. The citys cathedral had a wealthy chapter that spent large sums of money to commission books and to maintain its extensive library. The stationers and booksellers would have likely been concentrated in or near the cathedral precinct.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 81r" created around 1470 by the renowned Master of the Geneva Latini, who was the principal illuminator in Rouen during that period. The city of Rouen held great significance as a prominent hub for book production in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Its cathedral boasted a prosperous chapter that spared no expense when it came to commissioning books and maintaining an extensive library. The artist behind this masterpiece remains anonymous but is named after a manuscript now housed in Geneva. The intricate details and vibrant colors displayed on this page demonstrate their exceptional skill in illumination techniques. Created using ink, tempera, gold on vellum, this French manuscript exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship prevalent during this era. Rouen's bustling cathedral precinct likely served as a focal point for stationers and booksellers involved in distributing these precious works of art. This particular print offers us a glimpse into both the artistic prowess of its creator and the rich cultural heritage associated with Rouen's book production industry. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this photograph captures not only an extraordinary piece from history but also pays homage to those dedicated individuals who contributed to its creation centuries ago.
