Author Joni M. Hand sheds light on the reasons women of the Valois courts from the midfourteenth to the midsixteenth century commissioned devotional manuscripts. Visually interpreting the nontext elementsportraits, coats of arms, and marginaliaas well as the texts, Hand explores how the manuscripts were used to express the womens religious, political, and/or genealogical concerns. This study is arranged thematically according to the method in which the owner is represented. Recognizing the considerable influence these women had on the appearance of their books, Hand interrogates how the manuscripts became a means of selfexpression beyond the realm of devotional practice. She reveals how noblewomen used their private devotional manuscripts as vehicles for selfdefinition, to reflect familial, political, and social concerns, and to preserve the devotional and cultural traditions of their families. Drawing on documentation of womens book collections that has been buried within the inventories of their fathers, husbands, or sons, Hand explores how these women contributed to the cultural and spiritual character of the courts, and played an integral role in the formation and evolution of the royal libraries in Northern Europe.
