Description

Hallo and welcome!
Thank you for visiting my site
Tuscany Books offers:
A  decorative and very rare  Psalter leaf in Latin on vellum, produced in a German scriptorium around 1430. The heavily abbreviated text is from Isaiah 38,10 "...
ego dixi in dimidio dierum meorum
vadam ad portas inferi quaesivi residuum annorum meorum..."
German medieval manuscripts are difficult to obtain. The fervor of the reformation caused many liturgical manuscripts to be destroyed, like in England.
Size of the leaf :
ca.4.25" x 3.2"
Condition:
As shown, on vellum in very good condition with  minor evidence of ageing.
Pictured : both sides of t
he leaf.
