Visser-Fuchs This is an edition of the book of hours which Richard III used as king and which includes his own additions. Reviews: ‘We have here a complete record of the devotions of one man …’, ‘One is brought to sympathize with the fact that Richard the villain, if such he was, could by true repentance become one of the blessed. This book is a valuable insight into such an age of faith’. Bonaventure Knollys OSB ‘.. rigorous critical analysis …’, ‘This monograph gives as much attention to considerations of style as to the text and includes a very useful list of incipits of prayers’. C Van Hoorebeeck ‘ .. half their study to the illuminations and the other half to the manuscript contents …’ ‘… the last two chapters translate the text of the so-called ‘prayer of Richard III’, a prayer that has given rise to a number of biographical conclusions about Richard’s character.’ ‘It is all too rare that one can wholeheartedly recommend the style of an academic book’. Ann Eljenholm Nichols
