Yes, this is a small book but the real thing is a bit smaller. When the Met was producing a facsimile and had disbound it, they had an exhibition of the leaves. I took this little book to the show and was amazed that the real leaves were smaller (no surprise that the color was more subtle but the

size was amazing). Show Less

A very small (3 5/8 x 2 3/8 in.) Book of Hours, illuminated primarily in grisaille, or black-and-white. The illuminator was one Jean Pucelle, and the book was a gift to Jeanne from her husband, Charles IV of France. There are some rather droll marginalia.
