Book of Hours - Jitosho (English)

Japanese: 時禱書 - じとうしょ(英語表記)book of hours
Book of Hours - Jitosho (English)
A personal prayer book written for Christian laity. The Canon of Hours refers to prayers at set times each day.
[Origin, Content]
The Book of Hours was originally a collection of psalms, a personal prayer book used most commonly in the early Middle Ages, and was modeled after the breviary, a book of religious services for the clergy. The breviary was originally a collection of Bible, hymns, psalms, and prayers, but for various reasons it was compiled into a single book in the 12th century at the Monte Cassino Abbey and other monasteries. It quickly became popular throughout Europe.

キリスト教の平信徒のために書かれた個人用祈禱書。時禱(正しくは時課)とは毎日の定時の祈禱をいう。
[起源,内容]
 時禱書の前身として,中世初期にもっとも一般的に使用された個人用祈禱書としての《詩篇》を重視する説と,聖職者用の聖務日課書(抄本)breviaryがその手本である,とする説がある。聖務日課書は,かつて聖書,賛歌,交誦,集禱文など数冊に分かれていたが,種々の便宜と目的のため12世紀にモンテ・カッシノ修道院などで1冊の抄本にまとめられ,以後急激にヨーロッパ各地に普及したものである。
