| A very nice example of medieval European Bookart. This is an authentic hand-written and decorated, Latin leaf on vellum. This illuminated parchment has fifteen lines of Scripture text (Job 14:4-6,13-16) that are ruled in pale red ink, written in black ink in a handsome gothic bookhand, with one 2-line high decorated initial in burnished gold on red and blue geometric ground with white tracery infills. The marginal decoration is gold, green and blue leaves and flowers on tendrils with generous margins. |
