THIS IS AN AMAZING FIND, BEING AN ILLUMINATED LARGE FOLIO ANTIPHONARY LEAF FROM MEDIEVAL SPAIN, ON VELLUM, CIRCA 1500-1600.------5 LINE STAVES WERE NOT USED UNTIL THE MID 1500S-----
Page with marginal browning and curling at the corners and edges, some of the letters/painting rubbed/faded, light losses, else in decent shape, as shown.
Includes a great calligraphic initial (trait of Spanish scribes) as well as some red and black highlights over the brown ink, as shown. Measures 23.5" x 16". Good luck!
