Leaf from a Book of Hours, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on vellum
Leaf from a Book of Hours, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on vellum
[Northern Netherlands, second half 15th century]
Frame 18 x 23cm; observable image 6 x 8.5cm. 15 lines in a gothic bookhand, rubrics in red, one- and two-line initials in alternate red and blue, large initial in burnished gold on a penwork ground with flourishing extending the height of the page. Burnishing a little rubbed; framed and glazed with both recto and verso visible under the glass.
An appealing leaf from a Book of Hours, with elaborate foliate penwork of the type produced in the northern Netherlands. The flourishing would indicate possibly Delft, c.1450s or -60s. This leaf may have come from a prayerbook with texts in both Dutch and Latin, or with solely Latin text for an owner more familiar with southern Netherlandish conventions. The opening initial on the verso marks the opening of Psalm 69. The text on the recto contains an extract from Psalm 50 (found in Penitential Psalms) which can be followed by petitions, collects, the Litany and sometimes Psalm 69.
