A beautiful original miniature manuscript leaf on fine vellum, written ca. 1475 in black ink, and embellished with color initials. The text is Psalm 96:6-13.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Psalm 96:11

This authentic, hand-written vellum leaf has twenty six lines of Scripture text, ruled in a faint black ink, written in black rounded gothic script with eight, initials in alternating red and blue ink. A close inspection of the initials shows that the scribe indicated the letter that was to be inserted later in color. The vellum leaf is in very good condition. There are few traces of aging.

Size : 2 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches (6.4 by 9.2 cm)
