Facsímil "Libro de las horas de los Retablos", 2005 Facsimile of the "Libro de horas de los retablos" whose manuscript is preserved in the Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid. Suspicions fell on books of hours that ended up being banned by the Inquisition. This edition is proof of this as the code has been censored in one of the most popular prayers to Mary. The marked text is a historical document that bears witness to the dangers inherent in intransigence and intolerance. Published by Millennium Liber sl. The edition consists of 550 copies, this one numbered 276. Two books in a beautiful red velvet-lined wooden slipcase. Box measures: 10,2 x 20 x 20 x 28,1 cm; Book measures: 2,4 x 17 x 23,9 cm (1); 5,2 x 18 x 24,1 cm (1)
