Medieval Manuscript Leaf from a Parisian Pocket Bible with Illuminated Lombard Initials, Circa 1260

Sold

Item Details

Description

Details:

This artifact is an original leaf extracted from a medieval manuscript pocket Bible, originating from Northern France, likely Paris, circa 1260. The script is composed in Latin Gothic micro-minuscule, meticulously written in brown ink across two columns with 43 lines each on vellum.

Noteworthy features include rubricated chapter numbers, along with two multi-lined illuminated Lombard style initials. The page is adorned with elegant marginal penwork in red and blue. The Gothic text, remarkably small, showcases meticulously formed letters, contributing to the overall artistic and historical significance of the manuscript.

The page measures approximately 4 x 6.25". Fine condition overall.

With the end of the last Crusade, “the kingdom of Jerusalem came to an end. The Franks evacuated Syria, leaving behind them only the ruins of their castles and churches to bear witness, to this very day, of the crusades they had waged and of the kingdom that they had founded and lost.”-- Encyclopedia Britannica, 1958 ed.

Perhaps this leaf was carried to the Holy Land. Provenance: From a Bible once owned by William Foyle of Beeligh Abbey, England.
