Stephen Mack; Ege notes that though this leaf is probably British, the illuminator was probably French, particularly because of the floral imagery.

Description

Good condition.; Decorated initials with elaborate filigree. One historiated initial which is very small. Floral imagery comes out of the historiated initial, Ege notes that this is typically French. Between verses are simple decorations in red and blue ink.; Angular Gothic Script; Denison notes that this is a very early book of hours, in fact, it is the earliest in Ege's collection, they say that because of this the leaf displays few qualities typically associated with books of hours but displays many qualities typically associated with breviaries. This seems logical.; Black, red, blue, and gold inks
