Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry Musée Condé, Chantilly

Book of Hours are a rich source of knowledge and information.  Since my persona in the SCA harkens from the region of France, I turn to Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry  Musée Condé, Chantilly.  You may be familiar with the series of Calendar photos such as the one below:


But this book has so much more than the 12 months we are familiar with - and I found a website which has all of them available to view.  The images can be blown up to see detail on the garments, and there is so much to see!  This website is definitely worth a browse.
