Tudor Book of Days

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 feature a week in a double-page spread and list significant Tudor events by month and by day. There is space to add your own special notes of anniversaries, events, and seasonal notes for each month and day. The book concludes with a reference section, including the biographical details of over 150 notable Tudor figures, making it a practical and informative record of the Tudor period.

The stunning cover design showcases Tudor roses and flowers embroidered on a Chasuble (the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy for the celebration of the Eucharist), originating from England in the mid-16th century. This artwork is from the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The Tudor Book of Days is inspired by the Book of Hours, the treasured 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, significant events and festivals, or to write messages of affection between friends.
