Publisher's Synopsis
The Hereford Breviary is a medieval breviary (a liturgical book specifically for the divine office) of the Roman Rite that was made at Hereford Cathedral in England circa 1300. It was notable for its unique calendar, including images and accounts of local saints, and its extensive use of English and French in addition to Latin. Though abolished during the English Reformation, the breviary is considered one of the great illuminated manuscripts of medieval England.
