era of Books of Hours?
my Thoughts/Hopes/Prayers, exactly.
coming from a Space entirely uninformed and unencumbered by any actual
Knowledge of the subject at all.
>These were replaced by various other prayer-books and
devotional manuals, the earliest edited by counter-reformers such as Peter
Canisius. In English the most famous was Challoner's very popular *Garden of
the Soul* (1740). I'm not sure what was the 18th-century French equivalent;
later it was the *Paroissien romain*.
that last title rings a bell, i believe that's what i was seeing at the
Salvation Army sales in Chartres --lots of them.
will check the BN catalogue,
http://bnf.fr
see when the title first appears.
> There's an old article by Herbert Thurston here: <
> http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12350a.htm>. -- Paul
will take a look.
Many Thanks, Paul.
