Vostre - Leaf from a book of hours, printed on vellum - 1502
Velijn / parchment - 17 x 10.5 cm
This 16th-century leaf comes from a Latin prayer book printed in 1502 in France by Vostre.
Before 1497, books of hours were written by hand; this page comes from a printed book.
This is a leaf on vellum (thin parchment - animal skin) with several beautifully decorated hand-painted initials and engraved ornamentation around the text. It is an original, unique piece from the 16th century.
Condition: although more than 500 years old, the condition is fair/good, the parchment is slightly browned and has brown spots.
