Breviarium OFM (pars hiemalis)
A 1459 Franciscan breviary, a liturgical prayer book for the winter part of the church year, copied by hand in Latin on parchment for use by friars in daily worship. Its pages show gilded illuminated initials with blue and red penwork, dense gold foliage patterns and small painted scenes, with red rubrics and blue and red capitals; a designer could draw on the gold-ground leaf ornament, the interlaced penwork and the compact pairing of text columns with framed decoration.
