Het Boek van Brecht
Overview & Synopsis
Recently, the University Library of Groningen received a handwritten book of hours from the 15th century as a gift. Such books were a popular means of private devotion in the Low Countries at the time. Many people wanted to be good believers and they believed that reading or reciting prayers was an effective way to achieve this. One of them was Brecht, the first owner of this book of hours. Her book has a remarkable history and connection with Groningen, which is revealed here by Jos Biemans and Anne Korteweg.
