- Description
- Caption: "A leaf from a Book of Hours in Latin on vellum. Gothic littera bastarda script in dark brown ink, ruled in red, written in a single column of 14 lines, with decorated versal initials and line endings of liquid gold on alternating grounds of blue and deep rust temperas. One quarter panel border decoration of rinceaux with burnish gold ivy leaves and floral motif in tempera. This leaf represents the typical mid-15th century French style of border illumination where the gold ivy has become secondary to the more colorful and naturalistic foliate devices in tempera."
