Prosper de uita co[n]te[m]platiua de uita actuali deq[ue] uitiis a[n]nexis uirtutibus
This is a late fifteenth-century Latin religious treatise by Prosper of Aquitaine, printed in Speyer by Peter Drach around 1490 for clergy and devout readers on contemplative and active Christian life. The picture shows a printed page with large red and blue decorated initial letters beside black gothic type, offering a designer examples of hand-finished historiated capitals and early black-letter layout.
