AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original manuscript page from a Book of Hours from the South of France, circa 1460, handwritten on parchment in Latin. Prayer text for private devotion, 15 lines per page, traced with brown ink in Gothic script, with red ruling still visible and initials enhanced in yellow. Presented in a thick modern white mat. Visible manuscript window: 95 × 138 mm. Mat dimensions: 204 × 253 mm.
Origin: southeast France (Aix or Marseille), a region active in the production of illuminated manuscripts in the 15th century.
Provenance from Charles Edwin Puckett (Akron, Ohio, USA) in 2003, with complete documentation: certificate of authenticity signed with a historical description sheet as well as the seller’s professional card.
This leaf integrates and cites verses drawn from several biblical psalms:
Psalm 42:2-3 (or Psalm 41 in the Vulgate):
"Quando te videbo, quando apparebo ante faciem tuam?" (When shall I see you, when shall I appear before your face?)
Psalm 142:8 or Psalm 118:18 (depending on the exact verse correspondence):
"educes me de hoc carcere tenebroso" (you will lead me out of this dark prison)
Psalm 118:15 (or Psalm 84:5):
"ubi personat vox laetitiae et exsultationis in tabernaculis iustorum" (where the voice of joy and exultation resounds in the dwellings of the righteous)
Psalm 84:5 (or Psalm 83:5):
"Beati qui habitant in domo tua" (Blessed are those who dwell in your house)
A fine manuscript example of late medieval spirituality and book art on parchment.
Shipped securely and carefully, happy bidding!
