A fragment of a book of hours, written in an Italian scriptorium around 1480.
Ps 124
One leaf, a nice example of a 15th century hand-written religious text. The leaf is in Latin, written in brown ink and heightened by red or blue initials. It is written on parchment (animal skin).
We will supply a certificate of authenticity for each leaf.
Condition: The parchment has the usual age toning. Some soiling, spotting, or staining, fading of the ink in places, slight waviness, minor marginal damage, minor original flaws in the parchment. Flaws generally won't be noted specifically unless they are not visible in the pictures.
The leaf is rectangular. Because it is wavy or warped, it sometimes appears that the parchment leaf might have an irregular shape.
Dimensions of each leaf: ca.4.9 in x 3.4 in (125 mm x 88 mm);
writing surface is approximately 3.25 ub x 2.25 in (85 mm x 55 mm) |
