Qu'est-ce que la prière ? Pourquoi prie-t-on depuis la nuit des temps ? Y a-t-il des prières en dehors des religions ? Quelles différences entre la bénédiction, la vénération, l'adoration, la contemplation et l'oraison ? La médiation concerne-t-elle seulement les bouddhistes ? Quels sont les gestes, les objets et les rites qui accompagnent les prières des juifs, des chrétiens, des musulmans, des hindous et des bouddhistes ? Partant de ces questions, ce livre se propose d'être une boussole pour visiter l'univers de la vie intérieure qui anime les hommes et les femmes d'aujourd'hui.

"In this richly illustrated book, religious historian Eamon Duffy discusses the Book of Hours, unquestionably the most intimate and most widely used book of the later Middle Ages. He examines surviving copies of the personal prayer books which were used for private, domestic devotions, and in which people commonly left traces of their lives. Manuscript prayers, biographical jottings, affectionate messages, autographs, and pious paste-ins often crowd the margins, flyleaves, and blank spaces of such books. From these sometimes clumsy jottings, viewed by generations of librarians and art historians as blemishes at best, vandalism at worst, Duffy teases out precious clues to the private thoughts and public contexts of their owners, and insights into the times in which they lived and prayed. His analysis has a special relevance for the history of women, since women feature very prominently among the identifiable owners and users of the medieval Book of Hours."--From source other than the Library of Congress
