The Chester Beatty Library is the pre-eminent Irish institution promoting the appreciation and understanding of world cultures, and it contains some of the finest treasures of the great traditions and religions of the world. The collections were bequeathed to the Irish people and entrusted to the care of the State by Chester Beatty (1875-1968), who was a successful American mining engineer, collector and philanthropist.

With space to write notes for every day of the year, complete with engravings, small colour details and softly tinted and decorated pages, this book of days is a volume to use again and again - and to treasure for always.
