====Book of hours==== [[File:Pentecost 01.jpg|thumb|The [[Pentecost]], from an illuminated Catholic [[liturgical]] manuscript, {{Circa|1310β1320}}]] A [[book of hours]] is a type of devotional text which was widely popular during the Middle Ages. They are the most common type of surviving medieval [[illuminated manuscripts]]. Each book of hours contain a similar collection of texts, [[Christian prayer|prayers]], and [[Psalms (Christian)|psalms]] but decoration can vary between each and each example. Many have minimal illumination, often restricted to ornamented [[initials]], but books of hours made for wealthier patrons can be extremely extravagant with full-page [[miniature (illuminated manuscript)|miniatures]]. These books were used for owners to recite prayers privately eight different times, or hours, of the day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lesenluminures.com/learn/34/|title=Learn: Basic Tutorial|website=Les Enluminures|access-date=28 May 2019|archive-date=28 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190528174555/https://www.lesenluminures.com/learn/34/|url-status=live}}</ref>
