Psalter [leaves]

"Illuminated Vellum Manuscript Leaf from a small psalter in Latin (Italy (1350), 5 x 3 1/2"). Single column, 30 lines, written in an extremely pleasing rounded gothic book hand. Five groups of leaves from a sizable fragment: (1) basic leaves, each with several one-line initials in blue and red, typically six to eight (but ranging from two to a dozen) two-line initials in red or blue with elaborate penwork infilling and marginal embellishment in the contrasting color; (2) the same, but with at least one marginal symbol or neatly drawn doodle in brown ink as a method of emphasizing something in the text; (3) the same as the first group, but with an exceptionally charming pen drawing of at least one elf-like creature with a long pointed beard and a cap to match; (4) calendar leaves. Occasional minor soiling and other trivial defects, but almost entirely in very fine condition, especially bright and clean, and with quite ample margins.",Full pdf available, https://dl.mospace.umsystem.edu/mu/islandora/object/mu%3A439487/datastream/PDF/view
