A book of hours is a devotional from the middle-ages, with a pristine, vivid and fancy style of artwork within.

Mostly devotional, the book contains things like psalms and prayers, often decorated heavily with detailed artwork.

The reason for them being so valued is that they were pieces of sacred art and became somewhat collector's items--it was a way to have a large collection of art at your fingertips.
