Caption: "A leaf from a Breviary for Franciscan use in Latin on vellum. Northern Italy, last quarter of the 15th century. Gothic textura quadrata script in brown ink ruled in brown, rubrics in red, written in two columns of 33 lines. Red and blue versal initials decorated with fine penwork flourishes. The Breviary is the liturgical book containing Psalms, hymns, lessons and other texts recited during the Divine Office. This compact example was probably used by a mendicant order for missionary work."
