Decorated with thirty single-line gold initials on pink and blue grounds with white highlights and twenty-five single-line line fillers with gold spots or zig-zags on pink and blue grounds with white highlights.
A single leaf on parchment, c. 195 x 149 mm, ruled in ink, c. 104 x 83 mm (ruled), written over fifteen lines in brown ink, with red line highlights, in a gothic script.
The text contains a Litany of Saints beginning with ‘Sancte luca’ (Saint Luke) to the recto, and finishing with ‘Sancte augustine’ (Saint Augustine). A very good example indeed. The parchment is crisp and bright, with the exception of minor discolouration from the mount and a couple of spots. There is a fingerprint ink mark to the recto, and a ink smudge to the verso which partially covers some script, but it is still visible. Very slightly trimmed.
PROVENANCE: This leaf is from the same parent manuscript as SKU: 2053, and this lead is the subsequent leaf following on from 2053.
