Sobre este artículo
Bohemia (perhaps Prague), ca. 1450. 425 x 318 mm. (16 3/4 x 12 1/2"). Double column, 36 lines in a bold gothic book hand.
Capitals struck in yellow, rubrics in red, six blue or red initials measuring two or more lines in height. ◆A hint of soiling in upper margin, a very light stain running down the right column on the verso (but not obscuring any words and not visible from recto), otherwise in fine condition, the vellum very bright and with wide, clean margins.
This sizeable leaf features a robust and dynamic book hand: with its angular contours and many serifs, the script makes a particularly bold appearance on an otherwise modestly decorated page. The parent manuscript was undoubtedly a large Gospel Lectionary--a liturgical book containing short excerpts from the Gospels to be read throughout the Christian year--and the present leaf contains text from Romans, Mark, Matthew, Jeremiah, and Thessalonians..

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.
