The "Book of Hours for the Use of Rome (Folios 169v-170r)" is a remarkable illuminated manuscript created by Zanobi Strozzi, a prominent Florentine painter and manuscript illuminator of the early Renaissance. Born in 1412, Strozzi was a pupil of Fra Angelico and became one of the most accomplished artists in the production of illuminated manuscripts, contributing significantly to the Florentine school of painting. The "Book of Hours" is a Christian devotional book that was popular in the Middle Ages, and it is richly decorated with illustrations that accompany the text, which is comprised of prayers to be said at the canonical hours.

This particular Book of Hours, created for the Use of Rome, signifies that it was made according to the liturgical customs practiced in Rome, as opposed to other regional uses such as those of Paris or Sarum. The folios 169v and 170r, like the rest of the manuscript, are meticulously crafted, showcasing Strozzi's skill in combining vibrant colors with gold leaf to create images of deep religious significance and visual appeal. These pages are emblematic of the Renaissance's devotion to both spirituality and the advancement of art, encapsulating the period's dual focus on religious piety and aesthetic beauty.

Zanobi Strozzi's work on this manuscript is particularly noted for its elegance and clarity, qualities that are evident in the detailed figures and landscapes that adorn the pages. The illumination not only serves a decorative purpose but also aids in the meditation and prayers of the user, guiding them through the spiritual exercises prescribed for each hour of the day. The "Book of Hours for the Use of Rome (Folios 169v-170r)" is a testament to the personal devotion and artistic skill of its creator, as well as a valuable artifact for understanding the religious and cultural practices of Renaissance Florence.
