Ege, Otto F.
Description
Leaf 42. "This leaf from the Book of Psalms was written from the Benedictine monastery of St. Stephan in Wurzburg and dated 1499 A.D. The book hand closely resembles the fine early gothic types called lettre de forme and used by Fust and Schoeffer in their superb Psalter issued in 1457" (Ege). "A close examination indicates that the scribe apparently tried to imitate printing type characters in many instances."
Possible insect damage. Recto notes: number 137 written top right in ink.
