Summary
  • "The Spitz Hours is one of the Getty Museum's finest French books of hours. It is also one of the most original and inventive manuscripts in the International style. In new art-historical research Gregory Clark places this book's vivid, even witty imagery in the turbulent context of Parisian culture around 1420. The Spitz Master, its primary illuminator, allows the narrative of the miniatures to spill into the borders, bringing its pages alive in a fresh and engaging manner."
  • "This is the first study devoted entirely to the manuscript and reproduces all the book's glowing miniatures in full color. It will serve as a lively introduction to the Spitz Hours for scholars and the general public alike. In addition to shedding new light on the role of late medieval Paris as an international center for the making, illustrating, and marketing of books, the study positions the Spitz Hours in the larger context of late medieval culture as a whole."--Jacket.
