The 14th century Hours of Jeanne d'Evreaux have returned to The Cloisters in New York City following conservation and the creation of a facsimile edition.
The lavishly-illustrated book of hours -- just 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches (8.75 by 6.25 cm) -- was
created for Jeanne d'Evreux, Queen of France, by the Parisian illuminator Jean Pucelle, some
time between 1324 and 1328.
