Book of Hours: Horæ Beatae Mariæ Virginis
Date
16th c.
Contributor
Ege, Otto F.
Description
Leaf 50. The following text is taken verbatim from the infromation card, written by Ege: This beautiful manuscript leaf was written and illuminated about the year 1535 A.D. At this late date Books of Hours were also being printed in great numbers by such famous French printers as Vostre, de Colines, and Tory. These were elaborately illustrated and frequently hand-colored. The cursive gothic script used in this leaf, with its boldly accented letters and flourished initials, borrowed heavily from the decorative chancery or legal hands of the XIIIth and XIVth centuries.
