Gian Galeazzo Visconti promoted the production of religious manuscripts as well. The Visconti Book of Hours preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale in Florence (Mss. BR 397 e LF 22) is one of the most lavish codices that the Duke of Milan commissioned. With the production of this Book of Hours, along with the manuscripts of secular content just mentioned, the cities of Pavia and Milan became major centers of illuminated manuscripts" (Verlagswerbung). - Neuwertiger Zustand.
