This beautiful vellum leaf is from a very late manuscript French Book of Hours, made after the reforms initiated by Pope Pius V in 1568. The scribe used dark brown ink and wrote in a fine rounded roman hand and illuminated the leaf with delicate initials and line fillers painted in blue, red, green and gold. The large initial on verso is decorated with a very pretty painting of flowers and leaves.
