Description
Good condition, though the ink has faded slightly. Vellum is becoming warped.; Decorative flowers along the side of the writing.; Lettre de Forme; Several small historiated initials with thin gold writing on a blue background.; Floral images, very detailed. Some of the most careful and accurate drawings in the collection. The white flowers, in particular, were made with incredible care and skill.; Along left side of writing on verso and recto.; Clear in style and iconography. Very realistic, though the flowers are in an undefined space and too many types of flowers bloom from too few stems.; This manuscript is written in French, not Latin, that is rare for the collection.; Brown, gold, blue, red, green, pink, and white inks
