The saying "good things often come in small packages" rings true in the world of illuminated manuscripts. There are huge tomes for ceremonial uses in church, impressive to be sure, but small books of hours, designed to be carried on one's person all day, are in many respects even more remarkable because of the added challenge presented by the limited space. The #Codex Rotundus takes this a step further: it is almost perfectly round in shape in addition to being only 9 cm in diameter. The Latin/French text, #miniatures, historiated initials, and other embellishments are all designed to accommodate and even take advantage of this unique book form. A true unicum of medieval book production!
