Description
Good condition.; There are several decorated initials in a simple style with few flourishes.; Angular Gothic Script; Ege notes that this manuscript was made in Germany around the time when Gutenberg invented the printing press. Further, he writes that this manuscript and early printed books are very similar in style. He also displays that the script is not particularly well done, the illuminator had trouble with the different sized letters. Perhaps this scriptorium made this book quickly as a way to compete with the growing popularity of the printing press.; Black, red, and blue inks
