Sobre este artículo
Attractively matted. Rubrics in red, one- and two-line initials in brushed gold on a red or blue ground, EACH SIDE OF LEAF WITH A BRUSHED GOLD PANEL BORDER, WITH VERY PRETTY ILLUSIONISTIC FLOWERS OR COMPLEX KNOTWORK; WITH ONE SMALL MINIATURE (measuring approximately 40 x 25 mm.) depicting St. Anne. Headlines written in French in a later (18th century?) calligraphic hand. ◆A stain in about half the lower margin (not affecting decoration or text), light general soiling, rubrics faded and gold a little dulled in places, image of the young Mary a little rubbed in one place, but still a very attractive specimen with an especially touching miniature.
From a charmingly decorated 15th century prayer book, this lovely leaf offers the opportunity to acquire a very nice miniature with considerable gold ornamentation at an attainable price. The image depicts St. Anne, venerated as the mother of the Virgin, shown here with daughter Mary at her side. This tender scene between mother and child is accentuated by the warm glow of the saint's beautiful gold robes. For other leaves from this same manuscript, please check our website..

Sobre Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books an Manuscripts was established in 1978 on a ping pong table in a basement in Kalamazoo, Michigan. From the beginning, its founder was willing to sell a range of material, but over the years, the business has gravitated toward historical artifacts that are physically attractive in some way--illuminated material, fine bindings, books printed on vellum, fore-edge paintings, beautiful typography and paper, impressive illustration. Today, the company still sells a wide range of things, from (scruffy) ninth century leaves to biblical material from all periods to Wing and STC imprints to modern private press books to artists' bindings. While we are forgiving about condition when something is of considerable rarity, we always try to obtain the most attractive copies possible of whatever we offer for sale.
