Bedford Hours

Folio 17v, showing the building of the Tower of Babel

The Bedford Hours is a French late medieval book of hours. It dates to the early fifteenth century (c. 1410–30); some of its miniatures, including the portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, have been attributed to the Bedford Master and his workshop in Paris. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford gave the book to their nephew Henry VI in 1430.[1] It is in the British Library, catalogued as Add MS 18850.
