Description
Caption: "A leaf from a Book of Hours printed in Latin on vellum. Printed littera bastarda script highlight in gold, ruled in red, in a single column of 27 lines, with hand-decorated 1-and 2-line versal initials and line endings of liquid gold on tempera grounds, with full borders of decorative metalcuts. Printed by Phillippe Pigouchet, to be sold by Simon Vostre, (both active as printers in Paris in the late 15th and early 16th centuries) this leaf clearly derives from the illuminated manuscript in both its layout and border decorations."
