...nativity is placed in a case beside Milton's poem "On the Morning of the Nativity" offering an interesting contrast in the literature of two nations and two centuries. Several reproductions from the Book of Hours of Joan 11, Queen of Navarre, offer further opportunity to study the fourteenth century style of illustrating the margins of books.
