Heart-shaped medieval Books of Hours

We know of only a few examples of heart-shaped Books of Hours, all dating from the 15th or the 16th century. Additional photos of several other such books are posted at damien kempf, via Erik Kwakkel.

The Biekorf (“Beehive”) Library, best known for its collection of cistercian manuscripts from Ten Duinen en Ter Doest, holds 21 medieval Books of Hours.”
