This is an Original Medieval Manuscript Leaf from a decorated Book of Hours, which were made about 1460 in France, probably Paris. Leaf size about c.152 mm. by c.111 mm, 14 lines, ruled in pale red ink, written in black ink in a gothic bookhand, 1-line-high initials and linefillers in burnished gold on pink and blue ground with white tracery.
Very good and clean condition. Very nice example of medieval european Bookart.The pictures can not show the beautiful luster of the gold and colours!!
