Description
St. Jerome translation of the Bible; Very good condition.; Verses are shown in the simple style with red and blue ink typically associated with Bibles. There are also two decorated initials with complex swirls in red and blue.; Angular Gothic Script; This Bible is similar in style to Ege 5 and 6, however, it's size is much smaller and the print is smaller as well. The vellum is incredibly thin. Ege notes that this was almost certainly made by Dominican Friars, known as "wandering Friars." He also notes that these volumes were expensive and were meant to be used sparingly.; Black, red, and blue inks
