The Hours of Cardinal Carafa is a Christian prayer book written entirely in gold and silver on purple-dyed parchment, a tour-de-force of luxury book production. It was written and illuminated by one of the most celebrated scribes of fifteenth-century Italy, Bartolomeo Sanvito, around 1470-1480 in Rome, presumably for Oliviero Carafa. Its illumination includes a full-page image of the Carafa family coat of arms and full-page miniatures of the Nativity of Christ and King David in Prayer.
