All the calendar posts based on the <em>Belles Heures </em>follow the same format, and you can find more information about the feasts and activities proper to a given month, as well as the zodiacal sign assigned to it, on those pages.

I am fascinated with medieval artwork, and this calendar portion of the book of hours really tells us so much about life back then. thanks for all the information and the poem. I loved this post.

I look forward to using the calendar pages for the first post of each month, and to the exhibition downtown next September. I'm glad you enjoyed the Pope---I hesitated to include it, because it's so late in date, but it's so funny that I couldn't resist. Please do introduce yourself if you come to The Cloisters for a talk or just for a visit---I would be happy to spend some time in the gardens with you. Hi, Cathy—

I majored in art, and I loved learning about the Medieval Period. The Belles Heures is a beautiful book. I enjoyed reading Pope's amusing thoughts on topiary, too. I'm one of those who never read them. Your explanations are so interesting and detailed. I live in NYC, so I have been to a few of your garden talks. They are so wonderful and informative. Also, the Cloisters is a great place to be, especially the gardens. Any avid gardener who loves herbs and/or the Medieval Period would love this blog. It's obvious that you enjoy sharing your knowledge. Thanks, Cathy I discovered this blog about a month ago and I love it. I majored in art, and I loved learning about the Medieval Period.
