Tudor Book of Days Perpetual Diary
The Tudor Book of Days is a beautifully designed perpetual diary for keeping important dates, events and seasonal notes in a personal day book. The diary pages have a week in a double page spread and list important Tudor events by month and by day. Space to add your own special notes of anniversaries, events and seasonal notes are included for each month and day. The book concludes with a reference section including the biographical details of over 150 important Tudor figures, making it a practical and informative record of the Tudor period.
The stunning cover design shows Tudor roses and flowers embroidered on
a Chasuble (the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy for the celebration of the Eucharist). England, mid 16th century from the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
The Tudor Book of Days is inspired
by the Book of Hours, the prized possession of a Tudor person. Primarily a private devotional book, it listed holy days and hours for prayer, but was often used to record births and marriages, important events and festivals, or to write messages of affection between friends.
