A Bonus Post (don't worry, there is no work for class here--so read or ignore without peril):
In class today, I showed you some of the magnificent images that graced the 'book of hours' for the Duc de Berry. These images showcase all levels of French society throughout the many seasons of the year, and show us glimpses of chivalric love, high court fashion, the daily lives of the peasantry, and the obsession with fate and astrology that hovered over the Christian world. If you're interested in seeing the entire set, this link will take you there: http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/l/limbourg/
