Description

Vellum is slightly worn, but Ege notes that this vellum was of high quality.; Particularly beautiful lettering, note the "R" on line 4 of the verso and the "E" on line 7 of the verso. Also several decorated initials in gold with red and blue surrounding it and thin decorations in white ink as a top layer.; Gothic Script; Floral images, brown stems with red, blue and gold leaves done particularly well.; In left margin of verso.; Denison notes that there are many errors in the script of this Book of Hours, this seems strange considering the quality of the vellum and the flowers and the quality of the handwriting.; Brown, red, blue, and gold inks
