The original manuscript, considered one of the masterpieces of Dutch art, was made for her about 1440, by a nameless artist, who is referred to as the Master of Catherine of Cleves. A Book of Hours was a devotional book popular during the later Middle Ages. It took its name from one essential text, The Hours of the Virgin, or more properly the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is called an 'Hours' or Horae in Latin, because it is subdivided into eight parts, one for each of the 'hours' of the liturgical day-Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline..
