Breviarium OFM (pars aestivalis)
A Franciscan breviary, a liturgical prayer book for the summer part of the church year, written in Latin manuscript and dated 1460. The pictures show decorated initials and marginal flourishes in gold leaf, red, blue and green, with a painted female saint or figure inside one letter. A designer could draw on the layered gold scrollwork, the fine acanthus-like tendrils, and the way small coloured ornaments sit against plain text columns.
